Sorry if this is old news, but i havent been here in a while and all the fan posts are pushed down.
But apparently Freeney(who was rules a 2-3 week injury) has not rules himself out for sunday. Team doctors say its 2-3 weeks, but D-white himself has said he might play. Interesting...
Also, i have a question about team captains.
As i understand, our captains are:
Bracket, Manning, Vinny-T, and Bullitt
Umm..? Im confused. Sorry i know this is OLD news but im curious, why didnt any of these guys make captain?
Reggie Wayne? Bob Sanders(prob due to injuries, i understand that) Freeney, Jeff Saturday?
Im just curious.. Are these guys not vocal leaders? Or whats up? Ive always heard Saturday calls as many audibles as Manning on the field, Wayne is a key part of the offense and a leader(as well as Manning's Right Hand Man) and Bob and Freeney have been here, and been our defensive BEASTS for years, (Bob won a DPOY award and freeney has won a lineman of the year, i think, if im wrong sorry =( )
So.. can anyone fill me in on the captain situation? Again i know its old news but im lost about this, and wouldnt doubt if others arent questioning it

The number of ways you can fool yourself is just amazing.
I doubt that injuries play much of a part, if any, in determining team captains
I assume that the team weighs qualities like ability, poise, intelligence, and “presence,” both on and off the field. We also don’t know whether the votes were 53-0 or 27-26 in any of those cases.
How can you not love a team that does this?
ok maybe 52-1
You would hope the elected captain didn’t actually vote for himself, lol!

Also the Colt's generally only have 3 captains.
One on offense, defense, and special teams. I believe these to be voted on by the team. I read early this season were the vote for the special teams captain spot was so close the coaching staff decided to go ahead and make Vinny and Bullitt captains.

Well the QB is Always the captain. I think.
cscott5527 is right. The players vote. I don’t for sure but I think it’s based on leadership, and paying your dues. Maybe even something like who’s work ethic is the best.

OOPS, LovinBlue already said all that.
Here’s a funnier answer, It’s based on who buys the most steak dinners.

I'd sure vote for someone
who bought me a couple of those steak dinners. You know, I’ve never been to St. Elmo’s…..
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: The Atlanta Falcons are the only NFL team to never have back-to-back winning seasons in franchise history.
I know for a fact that Peyton prefers Harry and Izzy's.
That’s good enough for lots of votes!

You know that for a fact?
I was wondering how you got that restraining order.

you know im not sure
i usually dont specify. i’d have to guess shaken…..its pretty cold when it comes out.
i normally order mine up, with grey goose.
mmmmmmm.
im going next thursday for my B-day
Loved it.
Are you using that to practice up on your British accent when you order your martini? I think Brosnan’s is the best. But you’ll have to lose your Hoosier twang.
"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino
well
I do have the twang……i was in Chicago a few weeks ago and someone asked me if i was from the South…….wft? didnt think it was that bad.
im dissapointed now that no-ones asked me about shaken/stirred. =( maybe they automatically shake if its vodka?
Apparently...
QB’s are usually the Captains except in cases where your QB is unproven , a rookie, or in the case of the Cleveland Browns, determined on a top-secret play-to-play basis.

captain
Just cause someone is a pro bowl calibur player doesn’t mean they should be captain, as long as they do their job they could elect the water boy to be captain for all i care
