    Colts vice chairman Bill Polian and general manager Chris Polian are out in Indianapolis, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. The Colts (2-14) finished with fewer than three wins for only the second time since moving to Indianapolis in 1984, and fans have been calling for the ouster of the Polians and coach Jim Caldwell. Franchise quarterback Peyton Manning missed the entire season because of neck surgery. With Manning, many expected the Colts to be a Super Bowl contender again with the possibility that the championship game would be a home game as Indianapolis is hosting the game in February. Without him, Indianapolis went through three different quarterbacks, lost its first 13 games and wound up with the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft -- the first time they've had that selection since 1998 when they chose Manning over Ryan Leaf.

    I must admit this is not at all what I expected but it looks like Peyton is done in Indy.

    Don't think it necessarily means Peyton is gone...but I didn't expect this. There are quite a few teams out there salivating at the chance at adding these two to their front office...

    Now San Diego can fire Smith and bring in Polian.
