Jim Irsay and Peyton Manning file for divorce

“I don’t think it’s in the best interest to paint the horseshoe in a negative light, I really don’t,” Irsay told reporters, referring to the team’s longtime logo. “The horseshoe always comes first, and I think one thing he’s always known, because he’s been around it so long, is that, you know, you keep it in the family. If you’ve got a problem you talk to each other, it’s not about campaigning or anything like that.”

“I have so much affection and appreciation for Peyton. I mean we’re family. We always will be and we are,” Irsay said. “He’s a politician. I mean look at, when it comes to being compe ive, let’s just say on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, we’re both 11s, OK? So there’s been plenty of eggs s scattered around this building by him with his compe ive desire to win.”

I've known Manning was out in Indy since about five seconds after they sealed the No. 1 pick. Irsay knows the last time he took a QB prospect this good, he got 14 years of elite QB play. After the butt ing they took last season, he sees where he ed up in not ever hiring people who know anything about defense. Polian kept his own people for too long for some kind of ed up pride issue and they pretty much rode a once-in-a-lifetime QB's talent to NFL relevancy and a Super Bowl win. I think the Colts are doing what they need to do to for their team, but treating Manning like on the way out is pretty ed up. Everyone now knows Manning was the key that turned on that car.

I really ing hope Andrew Luck is a good NFL player. The Colts should be alright as long as they don't keep overpaying the out of soft defensive players that can't stay on the ing field. That's why they never had enough money to get Peyton a real replacement for Tarik Glenn until this season, when he didn't even play. They should at least be able to play offense with Luck next season. Hopefully Curtis Painter is now blackballed from the NFL.
