PEYTON MANNINGYOU’RE CUT(First Thing in the Morning)
In the immortal words of Kenny Powers … sorry, Peyton Manning … you’re f**kin out.
The Indianapolis Colts will reportedly cut the 35-year-old QB tomorrow during a news conference in Indianapolis.
Not really a shocking move … considering Manning has all sorts of neck problems and was due to make a TON of money. Plus, the Colts have the #1 pick in the draft … and are in LOOOOOVE with Andrew Luck.
Good luck filling those shoes, kid.
He, Terrell Owens amd Randy Moss can get signed by the SAME TEAM! My fantasy football Dream team one year.
apparently, the “Irsay Classless Family Apple” doesn’t fall far from the tree. You would think Manning had given enough to that team and that city to merit better treatment.
Guy could be St. Peter, you don’t pay a dude with a busted neck $28 million.

So you draft a kid out of college (granted Luck “seems” like the “real deal”…but, you never really know) and pay HIM $28M instead?
Manning has earned better than the treatment he is being shown. IMO
And yes I get that it’s a business.
Irsay may be classless, but he’s not an idiot. Like Jake said, you don’t pay someone with a career threatening neck injury 28 million dollars.
Hell, the Saints won’t even pay a healthy Drew Brees.
Additionally, Peyton Manning may be the greatest quarterback ever to play from September-December…but the guy is 9-10 in January/February. He shows cracks in big spots.
