Repeated trauma on the brain has led to a neurological diagnosis of CTE among the medical community. What exactly is this...

Southwest1's Blog
Since the NFL season is low key right now & entrenched in rookie player minicamps around the league, I figured why not write a non-related football blog just for pure entertainment value alone.
Recently, I just watched a film called "The People Vs. George Lucas" released in 2010 by Exhibit A Pictures.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 11 A.M. Central Standard Time. A press conference that will live in infamy for all the wrong reasons. Seldom do you see a future Hall of Fame quarterback & franchise owner in the same room announcing a public separation & divorce from one another. Why did this prosperous NFL partnership really end? Health, cold hard cash,...

Here is my last & final blog that I will transfer from Colts Direct. Again, the primary objective here is to expand audience access & encourage rational, peaceful debate. All viewpoints are welcome:
We all know that football is a violent sport. We also know that when the playoffs roll around a solid defense is essential in order to "ring a...

Initially, I posted this blog on Colts Direct. I transferred it here in order to encourage further debate by spreading access to this conversation to a much wider audience. A variety of diverse opinions is always welcomed here. Thank you.

As our beloved Colts franchise undergoes a massive overhaul this year, from GM, to head coach, to staff, & finally roster additions & subtractions, I wonder if our team & the corresponding front office in INDY have finally grasped the importance of maintaining a quality back up quarterback yet. Starting QB's these days are prone to a number...

I never get tired of this video. It makes me smile everytime I see it.
Sibling rivalry what a wonderful thing!!! Competition to emerge victorious in any activity & the accompanying "bragging rights" never ever gets old either...No matter how old you really are. HA! HA!

In the immortal words of Queen's Freddie Mercury: Peyton & the Indianapolis Colts will literally "Rock You" with these outstanding play highlights...ENJOY Everyone!!!
Tragically, Peyton Manning might be a distant memory in a few weeks...
Gotta appreciate #18 while we still can. No...
I like the classic musical score on this video. It is very compelling. Also, the black & white backdrop is so vintage & timeless like old World War II news reels in the movie theatre.
I wish it just featured #18 exclusively though. Still sweet & slick in its presentation though.

I for one never doubted that Peyton would get to the BIG DANCE & win a "precious" Superbowl ring. More shiny hardware is in his future too in my estimation.
Never trivialize his competitive juices on the field or his compulsive drive to win EVER!!!

There's only one Peyton Manning...AKA YODA OF NFL FIELD GENERALS PERIOD...END OF STORY.
NFL Hall of Fame players of his caliber do not simply grow on trees. I hope GM Bill Polian is #18's presenter into the hallowed halls in Canton, Ohio.
Personally, I love this video because I was a heavy metal head banger in high school & this song & the accompanying highlights are intense, strong, & IN YOUR FACE...
