Peyton Manning does not look ready for some football, Hank Williams Jr.

Peyton Manning has not missed a start in his NFL career.  The number of times he’s sat on the bench while his team has played in the NFL can probably be counted on one hand.  Peyton Manning is to the Indianapolis Colts what no other quarterback has ever been to his team.  Manning functions as something other than a football delivery system–Peyton is a coach on the field, and without him, the Colts are doomed.  So, Indianapolis fans are a bit worried about news reports that say that Peyton Manning may not just miss the opening game, he may miss the 2011-12 NFL entire season.

The news was broken by John Michael Vincent of WFNI-AM on his Twitter account, and soon seconded by ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.  Due to the fact that the recent surgery on Manning’s neck seems to be healing slower than expected, doctors may be tempted to perform a second surgery on Manning to see what the problem is with the first surgery and to see if there are any other problems.  This might explain why Indy signed Kerry Collins out of retirement and gave him a 2-year, $14-million-dollar contract.

Could this neck injury fell the Hall of Fame career of a multi-Super Bowl quarterback and the king of all commercial endorsements?  It’s got to be worrying, both for Manning and for the Colts.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
