Yes I saw what Kravitz tweeted about Manning. Suddenly it's gone from pure fiction to a possibility? Seemingly overnight? Interesting.

@jimosborne45
Suddenly Manning-Colts isn't fiction. It became possible almost overnight. I've been here for months. Indy media now discussing. So yeah.


Again, for what it's worth.

I have no update on Peyton Manning. If it doesn't happen in the next week, the timing is off or has changed. I believe it's when, not if.

And it makes no sense to wait until the draft. If anything just the opposite, I would think they would want him working with the team BEFORE the draft to give his input.

Manning taking over President role or whatever would obviously be a massive, national story. Nobody would be talking about Ballard's draft at that point. Would certainly take the pressure off him.

Yesterday on some National sports talk show, maybe Dan Patrick, they indicated that Manning was a possible Executive candidate for the LA Chargers.
