You made my day, and my point.

You know, I thought you were full of shit. So I poked around the Colts' schedules. I kind of used Thanksgiving as the arbitrary cutoff point. I don't have a clue whether there was snow or not, or even if it was actually cold for the late season games. So, FWIW:

Away games in cold weather cities 2002-2010, with the current divisional setups:

Before Thanksgiving- 19
After Thanksgiving- 9

If you go back through Manning's entire career (1998-2010) though, its:

Before T-day: 34
After T-day: 15

Not sure I buy into the conspiracy, but the (absolutely unofficial) numbers bear you out, I guess.
