Good memories. The one I will add was 2001, I believe, where he broke his chin and played through it. Also, I think that was the same game where he faked spiking the ball, ran for a first down and got called back because he even faked out the refs.

So many good ones already said, so I'll just add a few more new ones.

1) 2009 comeback vs the Pats at LOS. The 4th and 2 game.
2) It was either 09 or 2010 in Oakland. Peyton sealed the game on a naked bootleg that he did on his own.
3) One of his first commercials. It was for a football game for Xbox and he was listening to a tape recording and trying to learn to trash talk. It turned out he wanted to learn so he could talk trash when playing online.
4) His throw to Clark to effectively seal the AFCDG against the Ravens. Ray Lewis called it the best throw he ever saw.

This reminds me...JMV and Mike Chappel were talking today and reaffirming their belief that Peyton will eventually come back in a senior leadership role in the front office but he feels he's just not prepared yet and isn't willing to assume a role he's not prepared for....In the meantime he's doing work to learn the biz to get ready .JUst another example where when he does something he wants to do it to the best of his ability.

JMV is having him on his show tomorrow at 5pm if anyone wants to catch it.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, the following was both a highlight and a lowlight in Manning's Colts tenure ........


The Colts starting the 2011 season at 0-13 and finishing it at 2-14 without Manning.

If you want to know how valuable a player is to his team, take him off of the team and see how they fare without him. That provision was on blatant display in that disastrous 2011 season.


The 2008 Patriots, on the other hand, went 11-5 without Tom Brady. The following season, the 2009 Patriots went 10-6 with him back behind the center.


Manning could almost singlehandedly carry an average (or even a below average) team into playoff contention year after year. Brady might have been able to do the same if he had to, but he was never put in that position.

Here is an article with Manning saying he would be interested in a front office position but not right now. He is enjoying be a dad and knows being a GM will require so much of his time.

I remember that second of real time seemingly lasting 15 minutes, the ball seemingly freezing at its highpoint in the air, and Reggie fighting off three Cheaters to get the ball back, and he was the only Colt who could have. The funny thing about that sequence is its irrelevance, as Tully Banta-Cain was called for roughing the passer on the play. Then The Block happened, Saturday laid Wilfork out and created a running lane for Addai that he could've driven a Mack truck through. That moment was such a great moment, because the Cheaters were down 4 and Tommy Boy needed a TD drive to win the game, something he'd never done in the postseason before. Then the interception happened, and simultaneously 60,000+ of us jumped and screamed and celebrated. I remember being one of the last people to leave the stadium and walking out into the second craziest downtown Indianapolis I've ever seen. That was, by far, my favorite game and memory of the Peyton Manning era.
Saturday flattening Fatfork is one of my all time favorite colts memories.

I paid $800 for a single ticket and drove 600 miles each way to go to the AFC championship game.

Best bargain ever for a ticket. Worth every penny.

The "4th and two" game against the Pats. Preserved what should have been a perfect regular season.

Manning-Harrison breaking the TD combo record and afterward handing the ball back and forth to each other, trying to decide who gets to keep it.

The KC playoff game in 2004.

"His" first playoff win against Denver. The Broncos had just crushed the Colts a few weeks before at the end of the regular season and most felt the same would happen in the playoffs. But the Broncos forgot you have to actually play the game again

Then Denver acquires Champ Bailey thinking he will be the difference the next year. He was the difference!! They only lost that one by 25 points. Though the still gave up 49 to the Colts.
