Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

1) I agree. I will rest more soundly the night that the trade is announced.

2) I think you are right. So hopefully Kyle doesn't try to install everything and instead gives Griffin bite-sized pieces of the playbook over time.

In order for that to happen, the trade needs to happen. I'm gonna be so blown if we spend all this time dreaming about Rob Griff Trey in a Redskins uniform and the fantastically awesome plays he could be making and it turns out the Browns trade up for him instead.

Once the trade happens, I will feel secure and confident about the future of the franchise.

I'm just saying I don't see a reason why RGIII wouldn't be ready. He's extremely bright and talented. I just think it would be a disappointment if he's not ready to play right off the bat.

I agree. I would be shocked if RGIII werent out-performing Rex in every way by a wide margin by the end of the pre-season.

Peyton Manning leaves generous tip, server gets fired for posting a photograph of bill | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/peyton-manning-leaves-generous-tip-server-gets-fired-210105919.html)

There's just no such thing as privacy these days

Yeah no sympathy for the waiter here. You got a great tip, be happy, respect his privacy, and if you decided to tell your friends about that one time Peyton Manning gave you a huge tip, then so be it. But posting the receipt online? :doh: You deserve everything you get.

Must be nice to drop almost a grand on dinner.

I looked at the menu and their prices were not sky high. I say Ruth Chris or The Palm is more then that place. He most have had a bunch of folks in his party.

Finance guy/nerd checking in:

Notice he left $200 on top of the 18% included tip. Total tip was $312.82 on a $626.76 bill, a 50% tip!

That waiter should have just pocketed the autograph (or asked for it after the paperwork was done) and went home with a great memory, cash in his pocket and a job the next day.

Moron.

Very generous, doesn't really surprise me, he doesn't strike me as a guy that would be a tightwad... like Tiger Woods, allegedly.

At least Manning didn't get caught using the wrong card.

You don't give up a bunch of picks to move up to take a guy, and then proceed to sit him to start the season. If you believe in RGIII that much to give up all those picks, he's got to be your guy day 1 he enters the building.

Unless he's hurt, there's no reason he shouldn't be ready to play right away.

Absolutely. I'm not sold on RGIII and don't see how anyone could be...but if it comes to mortgaging the future to get him then at least put him under center.

^What's your take on RG3 Goat?

His physical talents are unquestionable and he's plenty bright. I worry about the intangibles. Does he eat, sleep and breath the game of football 48 weeks a year?

Your thoughts?
