- Tony Dungy talks about the hardships of change and Jim Irsay's legacy in Indy.
GREEN APPLES AND ROAD APPLES (media analysis)
- Reggie Wayne isn't ready to start looking for greener pastures, just yet.
- In case you missed it, here's the first part of Peyton's interview with Trey Wingo. #18 can talk about anything and you'll be interested.
- Irsay says that re-signing Robert Mathis and Pierre Garcon are "off-season priorities".
- Bruce Arians: "I'm just excited about being back and being a part of that Horseshoe."

- When Peyton hangs up his cleats, he'll always have a job waiting for him on the tube.

Now, let us bow our heads and pray:
Dear Lord (or whomever you fancy),
Please grant Eli Manning and the New York Football Giants the strength to defend our town and stadium, from the evil, UGG-wearing Tom Brady. You would not only help kill the wet dreams of "Mrs. Brady" (pictured above, left), but you'd also put a grin the size of Tennessee on Peyton Manning's face, along with every Colts fan in the universe.
C'mon.. You know you like us better. '06 AFC Championship? Week 10 in '09? Heck, you remember.
Amen.
