The Jim Irsay vs. Peyton Manning Train Wreck

PrintThis whole Peyton Manning vs. Jim Irsay thing is becoming really fascinating. It is mind-boggling that he thinks he is going to win a PR battle with Peyton Manning. As you well know, I hate Peyton Manning with all of my being, but even I can see the significance of what he means to the Colts and the city of Indianapolis. There is nothing Irsay can say that is going to change the affection that the people of that city have for Peyton.
I did find it funny that a report came out yesterday that Peyton has been cleared to play football even though he cannot actually throw a football. Obviously the point there was that the neck has fused, but it is hard to say how much closer he is to actually being able to play football because the nerves in his arm are still not regenerated.
I also find it hilarious that Irsay then felt the need to tweet that his doctors have not yet cleared Peyton to play. It would be in Jim Irsay's best interest to just to come to a decision on Peyton Manning and not say anything else until that is done. He can do nothing but hurt himself with anything he says until then.

Not to mention that the team knew Peyton was hurt when they signed him to this contract that they are now going to have to cut him over
Anyone who is still hanging onto the notion the Titans screwed McNair over should really watch this.
This is the best example of how to screw over the best player your team has ever had that I have seen.

What a weird turn of events to two players that were so directly involved with each other
almost a decade later.

Screw over? I don't understand.
They paid him millions of dollars when they knew he had a serious health problem. If they cut him, he can make some more millions with another team if the nerves recover.
If that’s getting screwed, go ahead, bend me over.

I should rephrase
By screwed over, I meant “treating the best player you have ever had and the guy who made your team as popular as it is like dogshit.”
I was referencing the continuing notion that pops up around here that McNair got “screwed over” by the Titans.
I agree though, if getting screwed over means your great-great-great-great grandkids will never have to work, then sign me up to!

"treating the best player you have ever had and the guy who made your team as popular as it is like dogshit."
Yeah, in the sense of Irsay’s behavior, I buy this. Irsay is becoming the new Jerry Jones—with about 2/3 the IQ.
Also, I always thought what the Titans did with McNair was a smart move. It might have looked cold, but it’s always smart to get rid of a great player a year early instead of a year late. The only thing I didn’t like was locking him out of the facility in such a public way. That could have been handled a lot better, ISTM.

And we can really blame Floyd Reese for the McNair thing right?

This may be the best example of a player....BUT....
This is the best example of how to screw over the best player your team has ever had that I have seen.
The best example period was how the Cowboys handled Tom Landry.

I'm really, really hoping all of this sours some of the east TN people on the Colts.
I’m so freaking sick of seeing Colts crap.

I'm not so sure.
Having talked to a lot of my friends who are Peyton fans first, Colts fans second, it’s kind of a tough situation for them. I think they know Peyton is almost done, too, and they’ve gotten used to the NFL, so they have some hard decisions.
A lot of them have a 2nd favorite team already that they plan to jump to—the Giants for a plurality. A few of the people who really grew loyal to the Colts will stick around. I’m sure many will stop watching the NFL entirely.
Either way about it, less Colts is better.

The Titans will unfortunately always be second-fiddlle to UT/college football in general in East TN.
I’ve got family near the NC border, they aren’t die-hard UT fans BUT they are diehard college fans and are big Cowboys fans simply because Jason Witten is from their town and went to the local high school (so in that sense, they are UT fans as well…). It’s crazy how people develop loyalties to players, maybe growing up a Titans fan first and foremost just has me thinking differently.

I picked the Titans as my favorite team because of players
I live in southwest Virginia, so technically the Panthers or the Skins are the most “local” team, but I didn’t like their players as much as I liked Eddie and Steve. Plus they had just moved to TN and changed their logo, so they had a newness factor to them that appealed to 1998 me.
Go Titans! Go Magic!
Same for more, the players got me hooked and I just stayed.
Local teams for me were the Bears and Packers and if you want to reach, some Colts and Rams.

I think I worded that poorly.
Of course I love certain players on the Titans, but I’m a fan of the team first and foremost. If Finnegan does leave I’m not all of a sudden going to become a fan of whatever team he goes to. I guess I just never got that concept of being a fan of the player first.

I can somewhat understand it and relate.
Like you, I’m first and foremost a Titans fan. I forever will be a Titans team fan no matter what. That said, I am a Brady fan. Not a Pats fan.
The Force is with you, young SkyLocker, but you are not a Jedi... yet!
Yeah, and with good reason.
There are people who have been cheering for the Vols in Knoxville for 30, 40, 50 years. Literally. The Titans are the relative new kid in town.
I’m just really sick of the Colts following around here, haha.

Yeah, I can completely understand the UT following.
What I will NEVER understand is the loyalty and near-obsession with Manning and all the “Colts” fans who are only following the team cause Manning is/was the QB. Once he is gone, I bet a good number go back to just watching UT on Saturdays.

"I did find it funny that a report came out yesterday that Peyton has been cleared to play football even though he cannot actually throw a football."
He has been throwing the ball to his receivers, such as Gonzalez and White.

Throwing to receivers
Nothing in the report talks about WHAT he was throwing, or how effective/productive those throws were. I’ve seen pictures of Manning throwing a Nerf type ball. And if he’s throwing ducks rather than lasers, that’s not helpful either.
TN Sports fan in Hoosier Country....
He is THROWING none the less
His throwing obviously isn’t where it needs to be yet, otherwise this wouldn’t even be a conversation.

Peyton won’t be coming back…not with the Colts…or anyone else for that matter. When you get his type of injury, as far as the NFL is concerned…you’re done son. All the more reason why I wanted my son to play baseball.
