Irsay all but admits end to Manning's 2011 season

Don't expect him to risk his career for that sorry team at this point. Hopefully he does have a career left.

Thought he said this when the season started.

Two of the same article.

like no-one relizes this.....why comeback now and risk injury

So, who ya gonna believe? Jim Irsay? Or Eli?

Wow, glad the future of the Euro doesn't depend on us getting that one right.

heard last night on a talk show on ESPN radio that the Vikings would be interested in Manning if the Colts want to make a trade.......of coarse I know it could be some talkshow BS

Oliver Luck.

I guess all of those FF fools that kept him on their roster in the case he might play in Week 17 are pissed right now.

That's because Favre won't return their calls. Sorry, I just thought I'd mention Brett's name, because you don't hear much about him on here!

This is not news.

Will he play, can he play? Will he go, or will he stay? Peyton threads go away!

face's cringed all over the place reading his name

Why would he risk playing this year, to win a couple of games and knock Indy out of the Andrew Luck sweepstakes?

hmmmm, Peyton looking at job security in Indy?

Peyton Manning should retire while he can still walk and feed himself. He's done it all, won it all, has more $ than he can spend, and will make even more as a talking head on tv and in ads. Returning just makes no sense.

Manning wants to play, and if he gets cleared and says so he will play. Nobody in that organization is going to say no to him.

It's not like we didn't know before FFB draft day that Manning was a huge risk this season. I had him listed as "only if he falls to the 14th freakin' round", but some idiot did draft him early, and he's still on the guy's roster. But then he drafted a kicker in the 5th round, too, so this isn't surprising.

Thats a really big IF right now. I think his playing days are over!

They play Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston and Jacksonville, in that order. Would you want to put him in against a team that's playing well and really, really needs the win? Wouldn't that be a little risky? Or, would you start him in a meaningless game against Jacksonville at the end of the season? Maybe, but, like, why?
