We all knew this was coming.

Shouldn't be any news.

You're okay. That thread was before he was "officially" put down as a no show for the opener. That thread was for IR.... I don't think he's on IR.

Given the desperate situation, I just hope they don't try any freakish remedys like using cadaver body parts replacement and animating him via lightening power.

I can just visualize the Colts fans storming the stadium via torchlight...

Nobody would notice any difference.

I can only pray that Manning is actually on the sidelines, so we can get some Manning Face.

I wonder which meltdown is greater at this moment: The Colts fan boards, or the Vegas odds makers phone lines?
