Tom Santi will practice this week; Peter King still clueless

Tom Santi had the exact same knee surgery on the bursa sac below his knee that Peyton Manning did. Santi got his done two weeks before Peyton. From today's Indy Star (via 18 to 88), Tom Santi is ready to practice:

Rookie tight end Tom Santi (knee) might be cleared to join practice this week. The only lingering concern, according to Dungy, is his conditioning.

"Physically and clinically, he's ready to go,'' Dungy said.

This puts Peyton right on schedule to perhaps practice next week in time for the last pre-season game, or definitely in line to practice before Week One against the Bears. It also flushes the "booga-booga-booga" scare piece that Peter King farted out yesterday down the toilet. Baring any kind of catastrophic set back, Peyton Manning will start Week One against the Bears.

I didn't need WebMD.com to tell me that.

They just reported a minute ago that Peyton had his first practice with the team. He wasn’t in pads, and had some kind of band wrapped around his knee, so he probably was just doing some conditioning on the sidelines.

Thank you God!!

PK’s story was all over this morning, everyone (AP, CNN, etc.) picked it up like he was the team doctor. Like he knew what he was talking about.

peter kings story

it really is quite the money maker and not just for him. ALL of my friends are telling me Peyton wont start against the Bears. So i bet them all 20 dollars each (5 friends) and then Peyton starts and I’m up $100. :D

I am that confident
