If there is any topic you'd like to discuss with us, tonight is your night. We'll start taking calls at approximately 10:30pm (depending on how quickly Laura and Greg get through their notes) and the show will go until the calls stop.
Sorry to everyone for the last 45 minutes :( We'll be back with a vengeance in a couple of weeks. <3
@GregC as penance I'll try to get tickets for the NFL draft and stalk, I mean, take pictures of players for CA.
+1 for Flores. They definitely need coverage help. That's usually a function of youth and depth.
I'm on the Fleener bandwagon too. He'll be a mid-late 1st by the draft. He's going to rise.
Hey, I won a free ticket to the NFL Combine in Indy on 2/26 through the 1iota.com website You should all look into it! it's legit! I also won two tkts to the NFL HONORS awards show at the Murat over SuperBowl wknd.
@6pm@coltsauth_todd Yes, it's the real deal. I went and took my brother. We Mingled w/ MJD & Rice in the lobby per-show. Got free drinks From the open bar and ended up sitting 5 rows from the stage for the last 1/3 of the show & the concert -- sat just seats & rows away from Brandon Marshall, Suggs, Cobb, and followed Stafford & McFee out of the theatre.
and had a confirmed tkt by 8pm. TRY IT FOR SURE!! I'll send u my pics from NFL Honors if u don't believe me :-)
@coltsauth_todd Sorry... Last part of my post was missing some detail. I applied forthe combine tkt this evening and had confirmation and an e-ticket 2 hrs later. I have my tkt. I'm going. Limit one tkt on this opportunity, but talk a friend into setting up an account and see if they get picked too.
@Marc_Indy I got an email about that. Was wondering if it was even worth "applying" for...sounds like I should do it!

During the hiatus we'll be playing reruns of "The Golden Girls." I'd highly advise getting your questions in now.
If Peyton Manning ever donned a Jaguars jersey every fan (and there are 13 of them) would erupt from utter confusion. Their love of the Florida Gators demands a hatred for Peyton Manning. I swear they'd all leap off the bridge rather than cheer for Manning.
There are other vets that had good returns after serious injury but certainly none were of the level of Manning. The biggest name there is Drew Brees.
I think Laura is right that Irsay will likely offer Manning more than most owners. Daniel Snyder and Stephen Ross may be exceptions to the rule.

Jim told me that while we spooned last night.
Wait...that was my Japanese body pillow.
I was just typing that!
It makes a much bigger statement here if the Colts don't comment. They (and Condon coincidentally) essentially lend the story credibility by not commenting.
Just not buying that Manning's camp leaked this. This seems shopped entirely by the Colts. There were three big takeaways and none were good for Manning's future:
1. He's likely got bone spurs
2. He'll likely need more surgery
3. Tom Condon wouldn't deny the report
I can't see how Manning benefits from the leak.
@flores_salicis Not quite. We don't have to pay royalties on the word, "asshat" anymore. Past that there have been no financial incentives.
@Shake1n1bake Every time I see the cigarette burns on the screen at the movies, I think of Fight Club.
