I propose a new game show: "How High Is Jim Irsay?"
Based only on tweets, contestants would have to guess which drugs Irsay was using and how much of each he had recently imbibed.
Like the price is right winning guesses will those closest to the real amounts without going over.
The prizes would include gift baskets holding duplicate sets of Jim's intoxicants for various calender days and one free call where Peyton Manning had to pretend to tolerate you no matter how bizarre and incoherent your ramblings became.

Honestly I hope he retires. One hard sack and he'll either be paralyzed or live the rest of his life with chronic neck pain.

Consider how little the Colts gave up info-wise with the severity of the injury, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he has already let them know he's retiring. Before the season it was "he'll miss a few games". A few games in it was "he'll miss another month". Then half way through the season it was "oh, he'll be back in December" (despite the Colts being 0-9 at that point).
I'm guessing they won't say anything for certain until near March, when he's due his large bonus. They aren't going to pay him upwards of $28mil if he can't play. If there's any doubt as to his health by then, they'll cut and run with Luck on the horizon.

That's odd. Back in my day if someone said, "don't tell anyone I told you this but..." then you wouldn't tell anyone.

And some Jets fans still think the team should dump Sanchez so the Jets can go for Peyton.

Dude, retire, you have nothing more to prove. Get into coaching, or make big coin in the booth.

Peyton Manning's game prep is basically an OCD. A motor like that doesn't just shut off. Here's where "tough love" calls for cuffing his ankle to his bed, blowing up an M-80 in his car's relay box, smashing his computer monitor and sawing his phone in half so there's no physical way he can make it to next season's camp or even notify the team.
Then you have to introduce him to a hobby that can occupy those ever-grinding gears in his head. A lot of ex-pros take up golf, but for once I'd like to see an ex-footballer do something different and pick up a classical instrument or something.

Good thing I've already got my Manning jersey for future generations. At the very least I'd like to see him stay on and teach the next Colts quarterback his style. Not that run and gun Vick/Tebow/Young/Freeman crap.

I'm pretty sure that its not my responsibility to help a grown man find a new hobby; that's on that fellow. There is no doubt in my mind that with all the millions of dollars he's made from football Mr. Manning can find something to satisfy those gears.
So what'll it be? Paralyze from the neck down, chronic neck and back pain, or 25-40 years of spending your millions.

This. He practically guaranteed a golden future in the booth with his famous 3rd degree burn on Vanderjagt during the Pro Bowl one year.

Yeah it's his own responsibility but I don't think the guy knows
how
to stop. If that's the case, without direct outside intervention, he won't be able to. I could be wrong and hope I am. Otherwise, he strikes me as the kind of guy who'll play football until he's carried off the field for good or cut and go on to pickle his liver as an alcoholic because that's how a lot of former NFL players wind up.
Hey_It's_This_Guy
:

So would I, but then again I also know why he's in the NFL and I'm not. Obviously you have no idea how the NFL works, or how OCD works.

Not my problem. He's an adult and can take care of himself. Also, how do you know if he can't
stop
? Do you talk to him on a daily basis? Are you guys buddies? No, then please stop making assumptions. I wouldn't make an assumption of that magnitude unless I interact with him personally.
/don't give two shiats how he handles life outside of football

Yes, yes it is. If Peyton does retire, I hope that's there's a good support team for him to fall back on when he starts getting those pangs of wanting to play again.
Also, for him to get some hobby that keeps him interested.

I don't feel for those who choose to risk living a normal life when they have money and a family to support. If he doesn't see his options then, fark it; let him live the rest of the life in pain. I'll be in the corner playing my tiny violin.
Have some faith in humanity and just realize that Manning is going to be ok no matter what he chooses to do. Give that guy the benefit of the doubt that he can beat the odds. Besides, he's a farking millionaire! He'll find something else to fill the void.

Don't know...i remember a lot of talk about Brees possible "not being the same" after his shoulder issues, but comparing Sanchez to Brees isn't the same. Brees has always been a darn good QB, but SD went with Rivers because they basically couldn't afford to keep both Rivers and Brees with questions on his shoulder.

That's my t-shirt, bro. That was tha bombass style a few years ago. Yo, remember when he had to share a MVP wit dat homie who got a hole in his head from some crazy beeotch? BOOM HEADSHOT. That was like in a club when u hit tha bathroom and yo boy steals the girl ur scamming on. ROBBERY. But man, I remember I was at Ray Ray's house for tha Saints vs Colts Superbowl. We was all in on the Colts and I was wearin that thurr shirt. Well when Poopin Manning threw that interception in the 4th I ripped that jerz off like Hulk Hogan. Yo, worst part was that it was tha middle of winter in Newark & I had to walk my ass home without a shirt cuz my boys wouldn't let me borrow a new one.
It's cool though, playa. Peyton Manning, tha games ova. Every1 kno that Eli Manning is str8 fire now and he is poised ta climb to tha apex of the mantel and defeat he's oepdus complex. Or like tha Lion King. Moofassa is dead, now Simba must the king.
