I was a fan of the Colts before you arrived and I will be a fan of the Colts long after you've retired from football. Having said that, I'm also a huge Peyton Manning fan for how you've changed the game, how you've changed my hometown, and for all the great Sundays, Mondays and sometimes Thursdays. You made me proud to be a Colts fan.

Now that the Colts have moved on and I'm liking the direction they're going, I am begging you to please sign with the San Fransisco 49ers. I want you to have all the things you need to win, have fun and maybe get a ring or two. Don't worry about Eli -- he's gonna be ok. Plus, if anything has shown us, no team is guaranteed a spot in the Super Bowl. You just have to find the best spot and go.

Until the Colts are ready to compete at that level, I will cheer you and your 49ers on to victory every weekend. I'll even buy a #18 49er Jersey!

I could root for you if you decide to go to Denver, but I won't buy a jersey

I don't think I could if you went to Tennessee. I don't think I'll watch your games.

Head West, Mr. Manning. Get the gold rush that awaits you:

• Win with one of the best teams in football
• Win the best teams in the NFC West
• Rack a bunch of wins, TDs, and passing yards on your way to a playoff bye
• Away from the AFC South
• Away from the AFC East

Sincerely,

A lifelong Peyton Manning Fan & a longer Colts fan
