Giants vs Cowboys review

Despite the New York Giants playing poorly on offense the defense stepped up and helped the Giants pull out a 29-24 victory and stay undefeated at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. The Giants are 4-0 in Cowboy stadium and have now pulled away to stand on top alone of the NFC East.

The Giants defense is getting back to that championship caliber play that helped them win the Superbowl. The defense grabbed three interceptions in the first half and took a commanding 23-0 lead until the Cowboys scored a touchdown with 5:22 remaining in the first half.

Stevie Brown grabbed two interceptions. One of those came in the fourth quarter that should have sealed the deal for the Giants victory but the offense gave the ball right back to the Cowboys setting up what would be a fight to the last second of the game. Jason Pierre-Paul had a sack and an interception for a touchdown that put the Giants up 23-0. Corey Webster also had an interception.

Chris Canty being back in the defense made all the difference the past two games. Canty is a huge presence in the center and that makes it harder to double team the outside. Canty was able to get to Tony Romo and disrupt his offensive play. Canty had two tackles, one sack and disrupted a number of pass attempts. Linval Joesph also had two sacks.

The Giants defense also had two fumble recoveries. One fumble came on a Felix Jones run when the Cowboys were driving down the field trying to increase their lead after they took a 24-23 lead. The other fumble recovery came on a punt return by Dez Bryant.

 The defense did allow Romo to have big plays in the air and gave up 437 yards. The defense also allowed the Cowboys to come back and take the lead in the third quarter.

The Giants have been stopping the run games of their opponents and only allowed the Cowboys to have 19 yards rushing.

The Giants collapsed in the second half and were only able to score two field goals in the fourth quarter. Fortunately that was all they needed to get the victory and become 6-2.

Eli Manning did not have a good game completing only 15 of his 29 pass attempts for 192 yards and one interception. Only one wide receiver had over 50 receiving yards and that was rookie Rueben Randle. Randle had two catches for 68 yards. Hakeem Nicks had the second most receiving yards with four catches for 46 yards.

The rushing game did not do much better with Ahmad Bradshaw having 22 carries for 78 yards and Andre Brown with three carries for 21 yards and a touchdown.

Steve Weatherford had to punt the ball six times and Lawrence Tynes kicked and made five field goals sealing the victory for the Giants.

The Giants only converted three of 15 third downs and in the fourth quarter the Giants couldn’t convert on third down setting up an exciting finish to this game.

The Cowboys got the ball back with less than a minute remaining in the game. The defense allowed the Cowboys to get close enough to convert a touchdown pass and if it was not for Dez Bryant’s fingers landing out of bounds in the end zone the Giants would not have won this game.

On the last play of the game Osi Umenyoria was able to flush Romo out of the pocket and this caused Romo to throw the ball too high and out of reach of any of the wide receivers ending the game.  

The Giants sit comfortably on top of the NFC East at 6-2 and next up they have the Pittsburg Steelers. The Giants offense had an off game and will play better against the Steelers. If the defense continues to play the way they have the last two games the Steelers won’t be able to get their offense going and if the Giants offense is able to move down they field they will walk away with a victory.

Giants Redskins review

             The New York Giants finally got the monkey off their backs and defeated a division rival. The Giants squared off against the Washington Redskins defeating them in a tight battle 27-23 for their first win in the NFC East this season.

This was an exciting game right to the end when two touchdowns were scored within a minute of each other. Robert Griffin III show cased his play making abilities and also that he can crack under pressure with a few turnovers proving to be costly.

The Giants defense stepped up again this week wreaking havoc on the high powered offense of the Redskins. Chris Canty made his season debut this week and grabbed four tackles in his return. This might have been the reason the Giants looked like the defense from the playoffs. Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyoria and Jason Pierre-Paul all tallied one sack each.

Stevie Brown is solidifying himself in the Giants secondary grabbing another interception this game. Jason Pierre-Paul was everywhere RGIII was chasing him down forcing the Redskins to double team him. The Giants caused four forced fumbles in this game and recovered three of them. Pierre-Paul and Linval Joesph each had one forced fumble and Chase Blackburn had two.

The most significant forced fumble was the one at the end of the fourth quarter on Santana Moss. The Redskins were driving down the field after the Giants scored a touchdown to put them ahead. Chase Blackburn caused the fumble on Moss with less than a minute left in the game stopping the Redskins drive sealing the victory.

Manning had 26 completions on 40 attempts for 337 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown. Manning’s biggest completion was a 77 yard touchdown to Victor Cruz which would end up being the game winning touchdown.

The Giants had trouble getting the running game going and they were not as productive as they have been the past couple of games. Ahmad Bradshaw had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown. Andre Brown returned in this game and had five carries for 17 yards and a touchdown. Hopefully this was just a bad game for the running game and it will go back to the way it was in the next game. The running game is vital to this Giants team this game would not have been close if the running game got going.

Victor Cruz was the standout wide out in this game with seven receptions totaling in 131 yards. Martellus Bennett was also solid with five receptions for 79 yards. Bennett fell off the last couple of game but it looks like he is back on track and let’s hope it stays that way because he is a big body threat down the field and is capable of gaining more yards after the catch.

Hakeem Nicks had five catches for 53 yards and his longest was a 21 yard catch. Nicks makes all the difference in this Giants offense even though he hasn’t had his big game yet defenses respect him enough to put people on him opening up the other options for Manning. Nicks will get back to making big plays soon enough.

This game was too close for comfort but the Giants never gave up and pulled out the victory. This was a big game considering the Redskins swept them last season. The Giants had the big plays when they needed them on offense and defense. Even though no one is giving them their respect yet, the Giants are 5-2 and are among the top teams in the NFL. Next up they have the Dallas Cowboys, another divisional rival that they already played and lost to. The Giants are a different team from that first game and will be more of a challenge for the Cowboys. The Giants play better on the road and they do like playing and winning in the Cowboys stadium. If the defense continues to play the way they have the last two games the Cowboys will be in trouble.

Giants San Fran review

The New York Giants are now standing alone on top of the NFC East after routing the San Francisco 49ers 26-3 in San Francisco on Sunday. Almost everyone predicted this to be a close game and picked the 49ers to come out on top because they were being crowned as one of the top teams in the NFL but the Giants exposed them and didn't allow their offense to score a touchdown. The Giants dominated every aspect of the game and walked away with a big victory in San Francisco.

The Giants defense finally stepped up and played big. The last game against Cleveland the Giants were unable to get a sack but against San Francisco they had six sacks. Jason Pierre-Paul had two sacks and Mathias Kiwanuka, Linval Joesph, Jacquian Williams and Adrian Tracy all got one sack. Prince Amukamara got his first interception of the season in the first half and Antrel Rolle dominated the third quarter intercepting Alex Smith two times.

This was Mario Manningham’s first game against the Giants since he helped them win the Superbowl and he was able to grab five receptions for 72 yards. Alex Smith was able to get some big plays in the air but the 49ers couldn’t get anything going in the red zone. David Akers missed two field goals and made one which ended up being their only score of the game.

The Giants defense played outstanding holding a dominate rushing team to only 80 yards for the game. Frank Gore was held to a measly 36 yards on eight carries. The Giants defense stepped up in this game taking the pressure off of Eli Manning and allowing him to take his time and play his game.

The Giants offensive line did not allow the 49er defense to get a sack in the game.

After being held scoreless in the first quarter Eli Manning came alive in the second quarter hitting Domenik Hixon down the field for a 39 yard catch eventually setting up a Victor Cruz touchdown. This would be Manning’s only touchdown of the game.

Victor Cruz grabbed six receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown. Since the drops in the Cowboys game Cruz has stepped up and made big plays for the Giants.

Manning had 15 completions on 28 attempts for 193 yards and one touchdown. Manning’s go to guy was Domenik Hixon with four receptions for 78 yards. Hixon and Manning are becoming more comfortable with each other. The last couple of games Manning has connected on big plays with Hixon.

Hakeem Nicks made his comeback this week after sitting out the last two games dues to knee and foot injuries. When Nicks is in the game the offense seems to work more smoothly. Nicks is Manning’s safety net due to his big play making abilities. Nicks grabbed three receptions for 44 yards and one of those was a 26 yard play.

After having a 200 yard rushing game last Sunday Ahmad Bradshaw came out and continued to run hard against the 49ers. Bradshaw had 27 carries totaling 116 yards and one touchdown. David Wilson also had 35 rushing yards on seven carries. The Giants offense is starting to become more dimensional instead of always relying on Manning to win the game in the air. If they keep up with the rushing game this offense is going to become hard to stop.

Unlike the past few games the Giants offense did not have a turnover in this game and that was the key to their high powered victory.

The Giants offense and defense played the way they should’ve been playing all season. They were able to catch the 49ers off guard and disrupt their offensive game plan. The Giants were ready for everything the 49ers were going to throw at them and dominated the game showing they are a top team in the NFL.

Next week the Giants are back at their divisional play which they have had trouble against so far this season. The Giants are 0-2 in the NFC East and Sunday at home against the Washington Redskins they look to change that.  

Joe Pa

                         So can someone explain why Joe Paterno is getting more blame for the Jerry Sandusky scandal than Jerry Sandusky is? Why is Joe Pa the only person being discussed every single day? It's starting to look like the FBI needed a scapegoat for their findings and who better to blame than a deceased person. This scandal killed Joe Paterno and now they are dragging his name through the dirt. They are making it so no one will ever remember his 61 year coaching career and all the good he has done for Penn State and the kids that have come through his football program. I understand that he made a mistake by never following up and checking if the board and heads of Penn State did anything about the allegations. Do you really think a father not to just his kids but all the kids he has coached and a grandfather would cover up an alleged child sex abuse case for a football program? Lets not forget he was close to 70 years old when this came out. Who is to say what McQuery really said to Joe Paterno and if Joe Pa understood what he was being told? This is a lot of he said she said. Jerry Sandusky was a so called friend to Joe Pa so its more likely that Joe PA did not believe what McQuery a graduate assistant was telling him. It is a travesty that this happened to these children but lets not forget Jerry Sandusky created a charity for young children and that is where he got his victims from not Penn State. So if we are going to blame Joe Pa for covering up shouldn't we blame the workers at the charity for covering up also don't they play a part in this too? Your telling me that they didn't see Sandusky being overly friendly with the children or taking the children off who knows where while at the charity?
                      No matter what is said and what is done I'll never believe that Joe Pa would cover up something that was hurting a child! No one knows what really happened and the FBI should not come out and make allegations making it look like it was all Joe Pa's fault. No matter how this ends Joe Pa will always be a legendary coach and a great mentor to thousands of men. Everyone has something to say and it is easy to blame the person everyone knows instead of the assistant that no one has every heard of until this scandal. The Joe Pa statue should remain where it is. Joe Paterno made a mistake everyone makes mistakes this mistake should not erase his 61 years of coaching, his 61 years of putting others first, his 61 years of helping young men to become responsible adults, his 61 years of sacrificing family time to full fill his commitment to Penn State and his 61 years of helping a University to become known all over the country! The way they are talking about Joe Pa now is hurting his family and haven't enough families been hurt in this whole scandal. He has children and grandchildren and they are making him out to be a monster that only cared about keeping a football program's reputation in tact instead of the welfare of children which is absolutely ridiculous considering working for the football program was him helping out the welfare of young men! This whole thing makes my blood boil everyone needs to take a step back get all the facts straight instead of pointing fingers and passing blame. Jerry Sandusky allegedly committed these crimes therefore Jerry Sandusky should be the only person that is talked about. Why are his actions anyone else's responsibility? Joe Pa should have went further in making sure something was done but i fully believe he thought by telling the higher ups in Penn State that they would do what was supposed to be done. Not following up and making sure someone was looking into the allegations was something that Joe PA had to regret until he passed away. This killed Joe Pa and it should not take away from everything he has done for Penn State and that community!
                    The only way Penn State will get passed this is if they don't have football for a couple of years because as long as they have football they will have the scandal. Joe Pa will forever be Penn State.

UNC

John Henson, Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall entered the NBA draft opting to leave school early. I'm not happy about this. I'm not sure it was the right thing for them to do. Obviously I'm biased because I'm a huge North Carolina Tar heel basketball fan but Barnes couldn't play to his level with Kendall Marshall out during the tournament. I'm not sure they are ready for the NBA draft. John Henson might not be strong enough and should have improved his skills by staying another year and Marshall broke his wrist and had to get surgery during the tournament. Marshall probably should have came back another year just to prove to the NBA teams that his injury did not effect him at all. I'm mad because i know with them UNC would've been the top team next year. Without them they will just have to prove they are still good. I like when they are the underdogs because it gives them more drive and determination to win making them hard to beat. Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston have already proved they are ready to move into the starting position. James Michael McAdoo is going to only get better from the way he played this year. I believe McAdoo is going to be one of the best to come out of UNC if he continues to work hard. He has a lot of potential. Lets not forget that Dexter Strickland will also be back. He will be coming back from his injury and should be a good leader for this team next season. I've been a North Carolina Tar Heel fan for a long time and i always believe they can win the National Championship every year. This year coming up will be an adjustment but with Roy Williams at the helm they will always be good and in the running for a top ranking.

The Masters

Many people find golf to be boring but I have found the final day of the big golf tournaments to be exciting. Today took a play off to determine the winner of the Masters at the Augusta National golf course. Augusta is one of the most beautiful golf courses. Bubba Watson won his first ever Green Jacket today. I was rooting for Phil Mickelson to win but I'm not mad that Bubba Watson won. Louis Oosthuizen played a great game but came up a shot short in the playoff. The shot that set up the win for Watson was outstanding. He was in the woods and hit it out of the woods hooking it about 40 yards onto the green.Watson was extremely emotional after sinking in the putt that won him his first ever Masters' title. Phil Mickelson came in third and fought hard to try and take the lead but he just couldn't pull it out because Watson and Oosthuizen were two shots ahead. Today was close right until the end. There were eight different players in the hunt that could have won. Everyone thought Tiger Woods would be in the running today because he won the Arnold Palmer invitational. Woods ended the day plus five tied for 40th place along with Rory McIlroy. The Masters is always unpredictable. You just never know who is going to win it and that is what makes it exciting. There are always favorites but sometimes they don't win and there is someone playing little better that day that might come up and surprise you.

One down one to go

Men's college basketball comes to an exciting end. Kentucky defeated Kansas by only 8 points. Anthony Davis Naismith award winner only had 6 points but he had 16 rebounds. At one point Kentucky was winning by 18 points which proved to be too much for Kansas to over come. Kansas never gave up being led by Thomas Robinson who had 18 points and 17 rebounds and Tyshawn Taylor had 19 points. This was Taylor's last game but Robinson is only a junior and I believe he should stay another year but no one turns down money. In the second half Kansas came out riled up. They were playing defense and throwing Kentucky off their game. There was a glimmer of hope for Kansas when they came within five points. They just couldn't get over that 18 point lead. The referees were also making it hard for Kansas to make a full comeback by calling everything on Kansas and letting Kentucky get away with everything. There were some missed fouls but the blame does not fall fully on the refs. Kansas should have been playing with the same defensive intensity in the first half that they were playing with in the second half. If Kansas would have gotten their fast break offense going Kentucky would not have been able to keep up. Kentucky was winded in the second half and couldn't keep up with Kansas that's how they got back in the game. So what has been bothering me this whole time is that everyone has been talking about how Bill Self and John Calipari met in the Championship game before but how can they talk about that game when the wins leading up to that game were taken away from Calipari? Did everyone forget about that? They are talking about Calipari's legacy what legacy? This is his first ever National Championship win. He had to vacate 42 wins from his time at Memphis and Massachusetts. Why hasn't anyone talked about that this whole tournament? I'm not a fan of John Calipari and i feel they need to bring up his vacated wins before they can talk about his legacy. You can't just forget that he had to vacate a good amount of victories in his career. I won't take anything away from the play of Kentucky because they have played really well all season and played as a team. Those players deserve it even though i would have liked to see Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor win the Championship. Both of these teams had an amazing year and congrats to both of them. Even though if UNC wouldn't have lost Kendall Marshall and would have beat Kansas their would have been a different outcome to this Championship. I'm just saying lol!! Lets watch this girl's game tonight hopefully it will be as exciting and won't be a blow out.

Women's final four

All four number one seeds advance to the final four for only the second time in Women's college basketball history. All the stars of Women's college basketball are set to showcase what they have for everyone to see in Sunday's final four match ups. Uconn has advanced which is no surprise to anyone since they are always there. The only difference is Uconn doesn't have one clear star like they usually do. Bria Hartley and Tiffany Hayes are becoming big names for Uconn but their isn't a Maya Moore or a Diana Taurasi leading the way. Uconn is still looking for their clear cut leader but do they need one because this team is playing well together. They will be meeting Skylar Diggins and the Fighting Irish in Sunday's match up for the fourth time this season. Notre Dame beat Uconn twice during the season but Uconn beat them their last meeting for the Big East title. This will be an exciting game to watch. The target has been on Notre Dame's back all season since they went to the National Championship game last year. This year they are hoping to have a different outcome and win the Championship. They have to get past Uconn first and that is going to take everything they have to do it. As for the other final four match up we have Brittney Griner facing off against the Ogwumike sisters. If your going to watch a women's college basketball game this is definitely the one to watch. Here you have two of the best in Brittney Griner and Nnemkadi Ogwumike or as people call her Nneka. The Baylor Bears are undefeated this season because they are led by this 6'8" phenom Brittney Griner and she is only a junior. Stanford has made it to the final four for the fifth straight season. Are they going to be able to pull off the upset against Baylor and get to the National Championship? These two final four games are going to be exciting to watch. Can Baylor go undefeated the whole season? Griner has to be careful in this game and stay out of foul trouble because they will need her the whole game if they plan on stopping the Ogwumike sisters. If you want to see what the stars of Women's college basketball are made of you should watch these two final four games on Sunday. The girl's you have been hearing about all year have made it to the final four and all of them want the National Championship game. The question is who wants it more? All four of these coaches are outstanding. You have Geno Auriemma coaching Uconn whose resume speaks for itself. Muffet McGraw, the Fighting Irish head coach is no stranger to the big games and took her team to the National Championship game last year. Lets not forget she knows how to play and beat Auriemma. Then you have Kim Mulkey leading the undefeated Baylor Bears against Tara VanDerveer and the Stanford Cardinals, who have made the final four the last five years. All these coaches know what it takes to win big games and will find adjustments for the stars of the other teams. Expect close games that go down to the final second. Talk about excitement! Tune in on Sunday and see what these girls are made of and if they are worth all the publicity they get.

March Madness

I can write about March madness now because the team I picked to win the whole thing lost on Sunday to Kansas. North Carolina was playing without their point guard Kendall Marshall who got hurt against Creighton. I'm upset they lost but if the younger players do not leave for the NBA they will be real good next season. As for the final four I believe Kansas has a good chance to win the whole thing. Thomas Robinson is a real good player. Kansas has a lot of different elements to their game. Ohio State will keep the game close against Kansas but I think Kansas has an advantage because they don't rely on one player. Kentucky and Louisville will be an interesting game. Everyone likes Kentucky and says they are the best team but do not count out Rick Pitino. He has been coaching for years and knows what he is doing. Pitno knows how to win games. May the better coach win that game. This is going to be an exciting final four. Anyone can win these games so it will be fun to watch and see who wants it more. The tournament has been surprising with Duke loosing in the first round to Lehigh and Missouri loosing to Norfolk State. Two number two seeds going out in the first round of the tournament has never happened before. The West region had a four seed and a seven seed playing in the elite eight. I love March Madness because everyone is giving their all to survive another day. You are getting the best out of these players because everyone wants to win the Championship. The final four games will be very exciting and emotional. Anything can happen and with both teams giving everything they have you never know what to expect. Go Kansas! North Carolina will be back next year!

Tebow and sean payton

Tim Tebow is a Jet and everyone is excited about this. The only way this makes any sense is if they make him play another position besides quarterback because he can not throw the ball and will not last running the ball all the time. The NFL already tired to help Tebow with his throw but it did not last long because he went right back to the way he used to throw the ball in college. The Jets just extended Mark Sanchez's contract and are saying he is and will be their starting quarterback. Do you really think there won't be a competition during training camp for the starting quarterback position? Tebow is not the answer but I'm not sure Mark Sanchez is the answer either. Sanchez has not had great seasons with the Jets and still makes dumb mistakes. Besides Peyton Manning is in the AFC so the Broncos will be the top team and don't forget that Tom Brady and the Patriots are in the same division. New Orleans is all messed up everyone that is supposed to run the team is suspended. They lost their coach for a whole year. Would Sean Payton be suspended for a whole year if he would have just told the truth to begin with instead of trying to covering up? Sorry everyone should know by now the truth will always come out, you can not cover up anything. Giving people incentives to take out players on another team is wrong. Football is a rough sport to begin with and then you go and give more money to players for trying to hurt someone. Getting hit hard is a part of football; that's what football is and what makes it great. Bounty programs just make the sport look bad and take away from how great football is. The coaches got what they deserved on this one and there goes the Saint's season.

Peyton has found a home

Peyton Manning has made a decision. All the Manning talk and speculation is over. I believe he has chosen a place where he has the best chance of winning. The Denver Broncos are a hot team right now and have everything he needs to get to the super bowl. They might need to add or draft another receiving threat to compliment Eric Decker but this might be a perfect fit. He gets to play for John Elway and has John Fox as a coach. They have a dominate defense and if Willis McGahee stays healthy he can have a big year. Last season the Broncos went to the playoffs and beat Pittsburgh with Tim Tebow as their quarterback. Imagine the possibilities with Manning running the show. All the free agents are going to be lining up to be apart of this team now.  The only downfall is that he is leaving the comforts of a dome. He has been in a dome his entire professional career. He is not really used to huge climate changes. Denver is above sea level and they get significant amounts of snow come winter. Obviously Manning is not concerned with the weather and feels he can play any where because if weather was an issue he would have never picked Denver as his new home. Add Peyton Manning to any roster and that team becomes a main contender in the playoffs. I'm excited to see how this works out. Manning has played every game of his professional career and took a year off. I believe he is going to come back and have the best year of his career the AFC better watch out. Peyton Manning's back.

NFL free agency

The NFL is getting shaken up with all this free agency signing. We all know where Peyton Manning ends up is going to be the biggest headline of free agency but there are a lot of other changes going on. Mario Williams signed with Buffalo leaving the Texans with a hole to fill on their defense. The Texans were a solid team last year and probably would have went further in the playoffs last season if Matt Schuab didn't get hurt. So will this hurt the Texans loosing their number one draft pick? What about Randy Moss coming back into the NFL? He joined the 49ers this week. This could be a good thing if Randy Moss actually wants to play. We all know he only gives his all when he wants to. This will also boost Alex Smith's confidence because he now has another threat down the field. Did the Dolphins blow their chance of getting Peyton Manning by trading a player that would have been a good bargaining chip? Brandon Marshall is now a Bear this could be a great fit for him. He is reuniting with his former quarterback Jay Cutler. The Bears needed another wide receiver threat to make their offense more powerful. Megatron gets a 132 million dollar deal it's good to see Detriot knows they need him. He deserves it he is an amazing athlete. Drew Brees lost his left guard Carl Nicks to free agency but the Saints signed the Pro bowl Baltimore guard Ben Grubbs. Is this going to change anything for Drew Brees? He is used to Carl Nicks always being there. Can he go out there and trust a new guard to protect him? The Cowboys are making moves in free agency also.  They signed Kyle Orton as a backup to Tony Romo. But this has potential to lead to a fight in training camp for the starting position. The Cowboys also released Terrence Newman which i believe is a good thing he wasn't as fast as he used to be and was getting old. They signed Brodney Pool to a one year deal to play strong safety. This might add some speed to their secondary. The Eagles decided to stick with DeShawn Jackson for another five years. I hope they don't regret this move and can get his attitude under control. The Giants let go of Brandon Jacobs. He was getting a lot of money to mostly be a third down back. Giants will always find a way to make their team work. People come and go for the Giants all the time but they are still always competitors in the NFC East. Peyton Hillis found himself a new home in the Kansas City Chiefs. He will complement Jamaal Charles. It's good to have another strong back especially with what happened to Charles last season. The Jaguars are trying to fix their team by adding Chad Henne to back up Blaine Gabbert and Laurent Robinson as a down field threat. Maybe this will help open up the field for them so Maurice Jones-Drew can do his thing. So my question is why isn't Carolina making moves? They need to help Cam Newton out he needs a defense so they can win. Cam is a monster but he can not do it all alone he needs help. The scores would never be as close as they were this season if he had a defense to back him up.

Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. The way he was cut from the franchise he helped build up is unbelievable. Jim Irsay said it was not about money but if it was not about money Peyton Manning would have never been cut. Manning is the reason they were able to get a new stadium, have nationally televised games, able to host the Superbowl and why they have such a large fan base. How do you cut someone that started every single game for you for 10 years straight? His future might not be certain but one thing you can count on is that Peyton Manning wants to play so he will do everything he can to come back and play. You can not count on a rookie quarterback that has never experienced playing in the NFL to come in and be the leader of your team. Indianapolis will regret releasing Peyton Manning. They should have kept him so he could work with Andrew Luck. Who is better than Peyton Manning to work under? The way he was released was a disgrace he deserved every penny of that 28 million he was due to get on March 8th because of everything he has done for that franchise. Peyton Manning will play in the NFL again it's just up to him to find the perfect fit. I would not mind seeing him play for the Denver Broncos or the Arizona Cardinals with Larry Fitzgerald. Personally I have always wanted to see Fitzgerald and Manning together. I believe Manning will come back and still be amazing. I can't wait to see him back on the field it's just a matter of him finding his perfect fit. He is highly intelligent when it comes to football so where ever he ends up he will have success and Indy will just have to sit back and watch Manning's success.
