news: peyton manning, colts part ways (2012)

as of tomorrow, the indianapolis colts will part ways with one of the greatest players of all time.
this was too huge not to post. as a texans fan, i have a pure, deep-seeded hatred for peyton manning and the torturous ten years he’s given us. but he’s the face of the colts franchise – and pretty much the face of indianapolis as a whole. how could you not respect this guy’s game? he’s quite funny, seems approachable and is just a hell of a QB. single-handedly, he’s built the franchise into what it is, and a lack of manning around lucas oil is going to send the colts straight into rebuilding for the next five years.
oh well, it’s our division for the next five years!

Thanks for your update. Here’s a post I wrote some months ago about Manning’s potential destinations.
