http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl/09000d5d82682f23/Irsay-offers-peek-into-Manning-s-future?module=HP11_cp Really detailed interview and actually about the situation unlike the ESPN thing He went way further in to it than an owner normally would in such a delicate situation. Sounds like a guy who's getting ready to rebuild his franchise. It's about 9 minutes long. Worth the watch.
What I sense is what Marshall Faulk alluded to and then brought to the forefront , look for a movement back / restructuring for a fee. Cap space , serious question on whether Peyton plays this year if at all , what Peyton wants ... he can force the issue money wise or if as all say he / they want him in Indy , then he will structure a new deal as I hear it. Buy time with money .
I just can't help noticing how much better Irsay is in front of the camera than Ross. Can you imagine if Ross had to talk about a quarterbacks health/contract for 9+ minutes? "Er...uh...fanvision...uh...[fumbles with mic]...um...Joe Philbin's wife...um...[fumbles with mic]...funny story...um...fanvision."
Can you read one innocent jab at Ross or Ireland without overreacting? It's getting really old man. The man doesn't handle himself well in front of a camera.
Technically I'm only posting the "garbage" on the comments that show up in my news feed. Not like I'm going out of my way to harass you about your Saban and Ireland man love on your actual wall. That would be rude.
