    ..Also, any chance someone could work up some mobile wallpaper of computer background with that saying?

    I can do that. Give me tonight to put it together.

    I live in California and I can tell you that Oakland fans are obnoxious.  Niner fans used to be, but they've calmed down a tad lately.  There's practically no such thing as a Charger fan anymore.  I'm waiting to see if the Rams develop a new following among the locals.  I live on the central coast, so I'm smack dab in the middle of different fan territories.  The funny thing is, people around here aren't used to seeing Colts gear and they seem kinda shocked when they see me.  I haven't had anybody try to start a fight with me yet.  If they did, it will probably come from an Oakland fan.

    I've been to the 3 Colts-Raiders games and others out in Oakland since '06. The tailgating is incredible, and the only (few) issues I've encountered are with drunk fans - one in particular who yelled an obscenity in my ear after the game in 2010, and other Raider fans were quick to surround and protect me while giving that dude the right-act. I've always had my Manning/Luck jerseys in full view over the years. Otherwise, I've experienced comedic ribbing, an amazing fan base, and a great football game experience. Side note - I have not sat in the black hole - lol.

    LOL! Yea i dont care. Im gonna go in my Colts gear too. I was joking about the Raiders thing. Aint no way ima waste my money on that. But by experience at the Chargers game, the fans are so annoying and try to pick fights with you after the game. I can only imagine its what the Raider fans did to them. So the Raiders stadium will definitely be worse...

    I went to the 2007 and 2010 games at Oakland. There were a couple crazies, but the majority of fans were very cool and welcoming. These are two QBs worth watching, and Carr is a stand-up guy like Luck. My neighbor is a die-hard Raider fan and season ticket holder, so I get more grief from him than others  :-) hoping to go this year, as he plans on taking his family.

  4. There's a student in my youth band who is a senior. He was declined by Stanford but was accepted by Cornell. He's waiting to hear back from Harvard and Yale. Along with having a plus 4.0 gpa, he shreds on guitar, raps (makes his own stuff up), plays good baseball, and is involved in so many activities it blows my mind. He's the goofiest kid I know, and he's a great person, too. Add on that his major in college will be engineering - Some people are just gifted.

  5. I don't know why they wouldn't keep him and run a wildcat type thing on third and short. If he only has to pick up 2 or 3 yards I think he could do it almost every time. I have no idea what he makes so maybe it's too expensive to keep Tebow and Manning but Tebow is one heck of an athlete. He has to find a job somewhere you would think.

    I do agree with you and definitely wrote the song with pure humor in mind. The Broncos can benefit from keeping him.

  6. To the tune of 'Candle in the Wind'

    I wrote it (changed the lyrics) tell me what you think.. :-)

    Goodbye Tim Tebow

    Though we never thought you could throw

    You had the speed of a running back

    But your passes were too short

    They crawled out of the woodwork

    And they all Tebow’d in vain

    They put you on the market

    And they made you change your team

    chorus

    And it seems to me you were a Bronco

    Like a candle in the wind

    Never knowing who to pass to

    When the O-line caved in

    And I would have liked to have seen you

    Complete a slant pattern pass

    Your job in Denver's over now

    Manning’s now the man

    The media was tough

    The toughest role you ever played

    Manning is a superstar

    And a trade is the price you pay

    And when you Tebow’d

    Oh the press they hounded you

    All the papers had to say

    Was that Manning was replacing you

    [repeat chorus]

    Goodbye Tim Tebow

    Though we never thought you could throw

    You had the speed of a running back

    But your passes were too short

    Goodbye Tim Tebow

    From the fans at Invesco Field

    Who see you as more than a running back

    Except when Peyton takes the field

    Be gentle!

  7. At the risk of sounding over-dramatic, SF could be one of the most dominant teams ever assembled. Instant win, just add Manning.

    Manning, Willis, Gore, Davis, Moss, Crabtree, Gholston, Rogers, Manningham. Forget the Triplets. Harbaugh is gonna be like the octomom of the NFL.

    Hilarious. I will be going to at least 1 game in San Fran if he signs there. My bro in law is a huge 49ers fan in Fairfax. He is on pins and needles!

  8. Yeah, I listen to 1070 sometimes as well, but I've had Sunday ticket since buying my house in 2001. The price has been climbing and I really can't afford it by most definitions, but I thought that the opportunity to root for a QB like Manning was a rare (possibly unique) opportunity and that I would regret missing it. Last season was a nightmare, and I regret not cancelling it. THIS season might make up for that if I get still enjoy Manning and to watch the "new" Colts from day one as well. I didn't have that opportunity when Manning joined the team - only seeing the Jets games and whatever made national tv. Sunday ticket is terrific - aside from the fact that they don't repeat anything. I can DVR a second game, but one of the best parts about the possibility of Peyton going west is those 4pm starts. I'd hate to watch one game and find out the scores of a second game I'm taping.

    I definitely get that. $339 on my PS3 is steep. If he heads to Denver, I'm headed to the Oakland game. If he goes to TN, I'm out of luck (I'm not flying down to San Diego). If here were to have chosen the Dolphins, Thanksgiving weekend could have been it (coming home, and 'rumor' has the Dolphins in town). Doesn't matter anyways, as I will be going to that game - mark it.

    I'm not a big fan of all the 10am game starts, but such is life.

    My neighbor will be so peeved if Manning signs with Denver. LOL.

  9. I don't want to spend the day sitting in front of the PC, but I have to keep running back to this. Of all the available teams, I'd be thrilled if he went to the Broncos (and relieved if it's not the Titans).

    I just "found" this radio station last night, ironically following a link to a related blog that another member posted. The strange this is that last night they had a Denver Nuggets game on, which previously I had to go through nba.com to find. I don't quite understand that - you would expect it to be blocked.

    There will be a certain level of efficiency for me if Peyton goes to Denver, since the Nuggets have been my second favorite NBA team since the Knicks sent most of my favorite players to them last year.

    I put the 1070 app on my iPad - Didn't miss a Colts game last year. Might even get sunday ticket this year.
