Peyton Manning released a statement today after the Colts made it official he will not play Week 1: “To say I am disappointed in not being able to play is an understatement,†it read. “The best part about football is being out there on the field playing with my teammates. It will be tough not to be out there playing for the organization and our fans. “I simply am not healthy enough to play, and I am doing everything I can to get my health back. The team will do fine without me, and I know for sure that I will miss them much more than they will miss me.†Source: theredzone.org
Wow, a freaking statement. It's the first time you're not going to start an NFL game not a deceleration of war. Why in the hell does a statement need to be made?
If he hadn't, the media would have been after him to talk about.."how does it feel.. " You know, that stupid question they ask everyone when the answer is obvious!! Also, He did have a good streak going that is now over. Maybe that is why. :sarcasm1:
