I'm still saying, for the first time here but I have said it publicly several times before, Peyton has a minor amount of neurological damage. Watch his interviews, the right-side of his face is motionless while talking. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of hits to sustain some degree of damage, just getting hit the wrong way. I think that the Colts management looked at the situation which includes the neck injury, neurological damage, Peyton's age, and of course $28 Million; and decided that this was the perfect opportunity to part ways with Peyton and hopefully get their next franchise QB in Luck.

No question the Colts made the right choice. Even if Manning plays up to his own standards, how many years does he have left?
On the other hand, Manning made the right choice too. He knows he is closer to the end than the beginning, so why would he renegotiate for less money to stay in Indy, his years of making money are closing fast.
Plus Peyton went out with class by calling all of the sports reporters in the area and thanking them for how covered him all those years.

Love Bob and Tom. Well, used to like it a lot more when they were more 'skitty', with their comedy bits/sketches. Still very funny. A couple years ago my hometown area dropped B&T for a local duo....and they sucked.
Now that I'm in Chicago I listen ESPN Radio or the WTKA podcast (awesome, they upload each segment of the show as it's going, so I usually listen a couple hours behind live).

When I was pledging my fraternity at IU, the last week was called "Hell Week" (I'm sure that's common).
Anyway, during that week, our entire pledge class had to stay inside this tiny, tiny room the whole time. The only time we could leave was for class (15 minutes before, be back within 15 minutes of it letting out), or when we were taken into the basement to be hazed.
The entire time we were in the room, there were two songs on repeat being absolutely blasted out of two outdoor speakers.
They were:
(During the day)
(At night)
I was actually the only person in my 37-man class that knew that 'Yeah Toast!' song, so I laughed and laughed during the first day. After Day 2 of no sleep, we were all delirious, and everyone knew the words and sang along.
