Shocking Tag

Today marks the beginning of a new era in the NFL.  Number 18 for the Colts will no longer be future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning.

Guess Roger Goodell and the people in the NFL scheduling department have to find a new team that the Patriots will magically play every year.

Calling this an emotional time for Peyton, the Manning family, the Colts organization, and Colts fans would be a colossal understatement.  It is too difficult to truly state how much value Peyton has to the Colts and the city of Indianapolis.  Not only is he a great QB but he has continually showed that he is just as great off the field.  Not to mention it is hard to find a personality so magnetic to go along with his skills on the football field.  Manning marketability is hard to come by and is comparable to the endorsement giants that are Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.
