POSTED 10:20 p.m. EDT; UPDATED 11:04 a.m. EDT, June 20, 2007PEYTON GETS PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT AT RING PARTY?
Multiple sources tell us that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was permitted to bring his parents to the team's Super Bowl ring ceremony -- and that no other players were afforded the same luxury.
We'd consider the move to be startling evidence of a double standard in Indy, if we weren't already convinced that such a standard exists. And has been there for a while now.
Still, there are rumblings that this specific inequity didn't sit well with some Colts players. Though we don't expect it to be an issue on the field in 2007, it's definitely something worth noting during the ssssslow time of the offseason.
