OK Bulldog fans - I know it's hard to root for a UT Grad.  No one here in Georgie REALLY likes that bright Orange and White from Tennessee do we?  Well, maybe not - but as a football fan - or a sports fan no less - you have to admit....We all wish we had a Peyton Manning don't we??

So, the Colts are parting ways with THE guy that not only saved a franchise, but brought the love of football to the state of Indiana and re-inforced the brand of the COLTS!  He did a lot for the city he played in, he did a lot for the game of football and he did a lot for the spirit of the sport. 

Hey Atlanta...Don't you wish that we had a Peyton!  Ok - Matty "Ice" is a GREAT young quarterback, but at the end of the day - will he be a Hall of Famer?  Will he help build us a new stadium?  Will he win the Falcons a ring??  Lots of questions remain and at this point in Peyton's career - we already knew that he was going to be something special.  I'm no Manning fan - trust me - but I respect his love of the game, he commitment to winning and his loyalty to the city he made his career in.  Good luck to him in his future and I'll say it again Atlanta - I sure wish we had a Peyton!
