Yeah, we kind of forgot to wish Peyton Manning happy birthday

Yesterday, the best player in the NFL and the greatest quarterback of his generation (maybe ever) celebrated his birthday while recovering from neck surgery. Because I am a self-absorbed schmuck who is only interested in new players the Colts are looking to bring onto this team, and because I often take him for granted, I simply forgot to note the occasion of Peyton Manning's birth.
I beg forgiveness.
Big P turned 34 yesterday. Somewhere, just about every Texans, Titans, and Jaguars fan started doing calculations in their heads as to how long they think Peyton will continue playing. Considering that Brett Favre is 40 and is still performing at the level of a top 5 QB... yeah, Peyton will hopefully stick around another five years or so.
Unlike yours truly, folks like Indy Lori did not forget the occasion, which we suspect will eventually become some sort of state holiday after Peyton retires. Here's to hoping Big P had a good time on his birthday, sipping Corona, eating steak, and watching film of the Jaguars while his wife screams at him, "IT'S THE OFF-SEASON! Stop watching that sh*t and relax!" To which Peyton responds, "I am relaxin', baby."
Happy belated-birthday, Peyton. Stay cool, brother. Stay cool.

I second that, yeah, I said it too!
At the very least, here in Indy.

I'm not sure those senators from

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Butler University is (finally) in the Final Four for the first time in school history. While I knew that they could do it, I am still stunned. Only need 2 more wins to finish the job! Go Butler!
Rec'd it!
It should be a WORLD holiday.

I’m the worst. This was meant for PTB’s comment.

Forget our AFC South opponents...
Colts fans are the ones most interested in how much longer #18 plays. The new contract should provide some clue. I hope it’s 5 years and I’d be very happy if it was 6. In the past, I believe Peyton has said he wanted to play 15 or 16 years. I hope the Colts can convince him to go a little further.
Of course I’ll miss watching the best QB ever when he does quit. But, more than that, I just don’t know if I can handle being 4-12 or 5-11.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.

34 years = 34 TDs
he threw 33 when he was 33, hopefully the trend continues in 2010.

If we go 4 wide
He may break the freakin’ 50 TD record which I hope he does before he retires. No resting this time. Go full steam all the way! Remember the Elway? Peyton deserves, not needs, 2-3 more SB rings before he calls it quit!

50 TD record doesn't matter
Super Bowl does and I like the 4 wide set as an addition not as the end all be all. We lose talent/help at other spots by sticking 4 wide all the way.
Movie Quote of the Week: "Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush."
Dream Scenario:
2010 Season:
Manning: 419/565 (74.2%) 5695 yards, 10.1 ypa, 62 TDs, 6 ints. 138.0 QB Rating
Colts finish 19-0 and win the Superbowl. Oh to dream…

This might be better...

Peyton Manning: 432/528 (81.8%) 5960 yards, 11.3 ypa, 78 TDs, 4 int. 150.1 QB Rating
Colts finish 19-0 and win the Superbowl.

I doubt I could do that over 16 games in Madden.
If that actually happened… I wouldn’t even have to say I told you so to all of his critics. I mean… that would pretty much do it for me…

No One does the photoshop as farhe as I know....
You can compare this photo to others. I believe his forehead is really big – remember? He is the most cerebral QB in NFL history…. does not mean he is the luckiest though ….

Hence the term
“fivehead.” His large cranium allows for enough brain matter to be a football genius.
