[It Is Official - Peyton Had 2nd Neck Surgery. A 1 Level "Neck Fusion"]

Peyton did have surgery today 2-3 month recovery time.

[Should Manning Attend Games?]

Absolutely he should be there just like preseason, though I read somewhere that he wasn't I don't know where and so much stuff out there what do you believe anymore anyway. I think he will and should.

[Playoffs!]

I believe we do and its going start with some sad texas fellas at 4pm when they look at the score board Colts 24 Texans 17

[A Calmness In The Center Of The Storm]

Pretty much spoke the same words! All manageable... no worries at all.

I'll give you ELEVEN reasons why we shouldn't worry for the first few games:

Mathis

Freeney

Brackett

Bethea

Collie

Garcon

Wayne

Saturday

Powers

Vinny

Patty Mac

How many teams can name off that many high quality players?

I agree. I also think clark will be a huge part.

[Jaguars To Cut Garrard; Good News For Colts; Would You Have Taken Him If He Was Available A Month Ago?]

But do you think they did this because tenn. coaching and QB changes, Houston D changes, and Peyton currently in a questionable state? It would be easy to argue the division is in a cluster mod edit so they might as well attempt to get their future set up best they can while everyone else is going through growing pains aswell. Obviously they we going to do it sooner or later I say it's a good call,because this year the division will the weakest it's been in years . It does make Garrard finding a new home more difficult though. Most importantly it will make life for the Colts that much easier, and this year I'll take whatever break we can get.

[Press Conference Is 2 Hours From Now]

Colts release this statement

Indianapolis Colts Statement on Peyton Manning’s Status

In response to a number of media inquiries, the Colts issue the following update on Peyton Manning’s status.

During the last week, the rate of improvement in Peyton’s rehabilitation process slowed. Over the weekend Peyton experienced soreness in his back. It was originally thought to be a normal reaction to his rehabilitation regimen. When the soreness persisted, the Colts medical team decided to initiate diagnostic tests and to consult with a number of specialists around the country who have been involved in Peyton’s case from the outset. That process continues. As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday’s game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on.

At the conclusion of the diagnostic process, if there are any new developments in the prognosis which we outlined for Peyton at the start of training camp we will report them. As of now Peyton continues to deal with a complicated neurological recovery, the end date of which is unpredictable.

As was stated at the outset, it serves no useful purpose to speculate about hypothetical outcomes. When and if there are concrete medical facts to report we will do so.

We appreciate your consideration in this matter.

I personally still believe Peyton will have his hands under Jeff Saturdays butt come sunday. Although I think it will be a last min decision.

[Pending Who U Read Peyton Out 1-5 Weekss]

I don't want to be that guy that gets everyones hopes up without solid facts but this Manning stuff started on friday 2 days before JMV1070 repeated last night on twitter and blew it up, thats another reason I think it is all taken out proportion. Again this is just my a long time fans opinion y'all believe what you choose too.

[Pending Who U Read Peyton Out 1-5 Weekss]

Before this Manning stuff broke Irsay said Polian would address the media today about tressel, so a Polian conference was already scheduled but the Manning info will steal the show now. Personally I still believe Peyton will be under center Sunday, and will continue to believe it till I turn the game on and he's not there.

[Will Update All Day, Coltzillaa -Evans Makes Team ,if True Mcclendon.besides De Van Released , Spann To Go To Ps After Colts Trade For New Player ?]

I don"t think we even have enough money for Briggs, do we? I'd like to see more from a cheaper, younger Sims before before we break the bank for an ageing Briggs personally. Going to be an interesting weekend though!

[Tommie Harris Cut]

Don't like it at all.
