  1. Called Si, Indy will get RG3

    I am told u can buy a single issue & chose the Manning up one for $ 5

    1-800-274-6800 on sept 17th back issue department & ask for single order dept , u have to wait till then as though it hits newsstands tomorrow , its dated the 17th and u have to order via the back order dept so must first wait till becomes an old issue

    Of note also on the cover if u enlarge, the first headline under Manning up is REDSKINS POWER SURG3

    I live in Indiana and subscribe to Sports Illustrated, and I got the Manning cover.

  2. I have a few Colts jerseys...more then a few Manning ones. I just grab whatever player I feel like wearing for each week.

    I think it's going to be unrealistic to expect everyone to not wear their Manning jerseys anymore. To me, telling people not to wear them is in a sense saying stop embracing the past.

    I think the past...Manning...is the exact reason why the Colts are still here for the future...Luck.

  3. I would have to say:

    Peyton

    Brees

    Rodgers

    Brady

    Eli

    He's not in the Elite status, but I would have to give a heck of a lot credit to Jay Cutler. He's really not as bad as a lot of people put him out to be. I would say Cutler and Ben R. is above average for QB's. I think Alex Smith from the 49ers is a pretty decent QB. Along with Flacco.

    I'd have to see more than one season of Cam Newton's play before even thinking about putting him the same categories as some of these QB's.

  4. I think it's a funny thing that team's draft picks have to be twisted around to fit pre-conceived notions regarding players on other teams. I'm sure that a lot of people are saying that they find it funny and strange that the Colts have to surround Luck with two of his favorite targets from Stanford.

  5. And Luck hasn't been?

    I've heard more hype about Luck then I have RGIII. As far as RGIII being smug? I watched him after he was drafted. He was happy...extremely happy...just like Luck was. If that was RGIII acting smug, then Luck acted just as smug as RGIII did.

    I don't hate Luck, I wish the kid the best. But I also don't see the need to tear down RGIII either. Irsay took the one the Colts fans would of drawn and quartered him for not taking...do we really need to tear down RGIII as well?

  6. I think it's a little unfair to be calling this kid a bust before he even plays a snap in the NFL. Is he going to be an elite QB? Who knows. No one knows. You can't even honestly say Luck is going to be one before he even plays an NFL game.

    I say we just let these young men play first, then pass judgment on the kind players they are.

    Wasn't Cam Newton labeled a bust before he was drafted?

  7. They are claiming that they told Greg to stop and he ignored them.

    If they can claim he ignored them, that means they had knowledge that it was still going on.

    To me, all the speeches Payton gave about how he regretted it and how he takes responsibility for it is now all in vain. Just comes across as empty words.

  8. I think they'll be lucky if they take either Luck OR Griffin. And if they take Griffin, he should be supported every bit as much as those who love Luck would have supported Luck.

    I think more with Luck, the standards and expectations are being too far built up for him that anything less then even a play off run is going to be disappointing. And I'm not considering either one of them nor am I calling either one...especially Luck...the Colts QB until after one of them is actually drafted to the team.

  9. As much as I dislike the Patriots, I have to say without any hesitation the Bounty System is much worse then Spygate. With Spygate no one was physically hurt. With the Bounty System, there was intent to hurt someone.

    To me, it shouldn't even be up for debate...the Bounty System is by far much worse.

  10. From what I've read from other Broncos fans, they've said the player who had #18 has given his permission for Peyton to wear it. It's my understanding the only way they can unretire it is if the player who wore it gives his permission.

  11. Maybe I'm a cold person but, 14 million that the Franchise Tag is worth...I think it's 14 million...is way, way, way, way, way more money then I will ever see in my entire life. So, I really can't feel too much for him when he's already making way, way, way, way, way more then I'll ever see in my life.

    But it's these things that make a lot of people resent that pro-athletes are already overpaid as it is. I get people think he's the entire New Orleans Saints, but he's not irreplacable. The Saints have other offensive weapons.

    Would it really be fair to these other guys that are those offensive weapons to be told they won't be re-signed because Drew Brees gets that nice, big, fat contract while those guys can't get a new contract because of it?

  12. I guess they felt a little more welcome than the last time they played in LOS and Brandon Jacobs chucked his helmet into the stands.

    As a gesture of good will, Brandon Jacobs should have brought an extra one with him to chuck into the stands so that whoever caught it again could keep it.

  13. I don't care if it had never happened in a Super Bowl before, it was the right call and they made it. And it happened early enough in the game as to where it should never, ever have decided the outcome...shouldn't even be considered as deciding the outcome of the game.

  14. Goodell should know that this isn't a game where players are interested in playing smash mouth football. There's no way they even want to risk any kind of injury in this kind of meaningless game. If you watched the game, no one was even tackling anyone. Even Drew Brees tried kicking an extra point.

    I don't think the players even take this game seriously.
