Peyton Manning OUT Six Weeks [Indianapolis Star]

[KJ3]

well, i like peyton so...i don't want to see him hurt and gimpy and stuff. but i would rather see other teams falling prey to the mighty bug of injury than our own.

haha, when i heard this i wasn't really paying attention and it sounded like "peyton manning has a burst sack". that would be much, much worse and recieves automatic sympathy from every dude ever.

Peyton is getting to that point in his career where things start to fall apart. Fortunately for him he hasn't been knocked around much, but maybe this will affect his mobility a bit. I look for more things like this to start cropping up for him over the next few years.

i didn't know peyton had mobility to begin with.....




like you said, he hasn't been under too much pressure. i've never seen him run. ever.

Well, even if Manning returns in time for the regular season, maybe this at least keeps him from recording a few more commercials.

I'm not sounding any alarms for Indy yet, but they have had some high-profile injury-related items lately. Dwight Freeney will probably start camp on the PUP (lisfanc surgery), Marvin Harrison (problems with both knees) has had an interesting offseason, and Bob Sanders had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder.

wait whoa nelly keith!! let me follow you here...so you're saying their star defensive end, star reciever, star defensive back and star quarterback are going to be hurt? all in the same year? in the afc south?! how are they going to manage that?!?

maybe bad luck is behind us? and not like...waiting to stab us in the back...but moving farther away? to indy perhaps?

and i hate to bust up your logic keith, but manning with more time probably means he's got enough time to start writing his own commercials!

Meanwhile, Brett Favre is expected to be out 4-6 weeks with a bruised ego.

FOR REAL BOB

if he doesn't even reinstate himself after all this hoohaa i'm gonna find mississippi and burn it down. all of it, just to make sure i got 'em. anytime you flip by sportscenter now it's him talking to that sideways-face reporter greta van sustren(?) about how he just wants to be wanted. what a female...
