Filed to ESPN from @mortreport: Peyton Manning is being revaluated by several doctors bc of slow progress. No other procedure planned now.

Official: Sources say Manning had surgery this am - cervical fusion with 2-3 month minimum recovery.No word on whether he will be put on IR.

At his age, I'll be surprised if he ever plays another down. He's got his ring and his millions, and he's a 100% lock as a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Oh, and I certainly hope this Favre rumor is true. The only thing better than watching the Colts go down in flames would be watching them go down in flames with Favre at the helm.

The only reason he probably hasn't announced his retirement is that his agent and Polian are working on a settlement of his recent contract and guarantees.

If Indy gets Luck, I'm gonna be sick.

If the Colts go 5-11 this year after going 10-6 last year, that's a 5 game drop.

So, tell me, what is the point you think you're trying to make?



Did you watch that post season?

That is convenient numbers...Brady also took over Cassel's 11-5 team the next year and went 10-6. So I see it as Brady being -1 as opposed to your +5.

But the numbers are irrelevant. The Colts could go 0-16 this year without him and 16-0 next year with him and you would still grumble about him being overrated. The chance of facts or anything else changing your mind is as likely as the Teamsters Unions supporting the GOP in a presidential election.

When I'm wrong, I admit to it, and were that to happen, I would then be proven wrong.

My argument, however, is and always has been, that he's overrated because he fails in big moments.

Peyton w/ Open Head Wound > Cassel 100%

Russell Crowe was skinny! If Manning doesn't start Game 1, I will come to your house and eat things that are stuck in your carpet."
