Mr. Manning's Knee

 

Just wanted to take a moment to share this nugget of truth i found this week. 

After reading all of BBS's articles this past week naming all the various reasons and excuses for why we lost against the Bears, i found an interesting rant slipped in there. BBS, in one of his posts - maybe two, talks about the poor management of Peyton's knee injury. Mostly he wishes the surgery could have been done in May or sometime earlier.

I thought i remember reading on Yahoo Sports that the surgery was done as soon as possible, i.e. as soon as it became a major problem. And then i dug through some old issues of Sporting News and found this from an article dated August 11.

Manning woke up July 14 in excruciating pain.  He flew from New Orleans to Indianapolis, saw a doctor and had surgery to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee.  All in the same day. 

Now to me, that's a pretty quick response. No more management excuses, no more injury excuses - Let's go out and win !!

Should be a great game today - so let's go out and make it happen - GO COLTS !!!
