Peyton Manning is done as a Colt.

Peyton Manning has spent a staggering 14 seasons for the Indianapolis Colts.  Once upon a time, he was the top NFL draft pick for the Colts, and he came out of Tennessee to become one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he’s the reason the RCA Dome was deflated in favor of Lucas Oil Stadium, and he basically dragged the Colts to the Super Bowl while being an on-field offensive coordinator.  Now, Peyton Manning is done in Indianapolis as the Colts will be cutting him today.

After Peyton’s near-retirement as a result of a serious neck injury, the Colts and owner Jim Irsay decided that it would be in the team’s best interest to cut Peyton as they believed he would never really recover from his injury.  The fact that the Colts are sitting on the top pick in this year’s NFL draft and superstar in the making Andrew Luck no doubt had a whole lot to do with that, too.  Peyton, who was cleared to return to football, has made a decision to continue playing, no matter who that might be for.

It won’t be for the horseshoes.  Will Peyton be taking his talents to South Beach?  The New York Jets?   There are a lot of possibilities for Manning, who may be the most high-profile free agent in NFL history.

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.
