He was drafted by a team, payed max money to stay and had the entire team built around him. He didn't choose to play for the Colts because they're in Indianapolis/they left Baltimore/whatever. He was drafted. Hating him because he plays there is asinine.

It's more than that. I won't rehash it all again now, it's a tired story that's been all over the boards for years. Short version - he feels entitled to commemorate John Unitas in some personal kind of way, like they're both part of the history of the same team or something. Worst move was the attempted black hightops. Assinine.

this cant be real

This is the first I've heard that he has wanted to wear #19. Is that something you just made up?

Of course not.

Where I did apply a bit of license, though, was that I don't know for a fact that Kosar's number is actually retired in Cleveland. I just assumed it was, and anyway the idea illustrated the point I was trying to make.

Looks like tortugagrande and cremesicle won't get their way. How someone can root against this man is beyond me. I just wish the 49ers were a possibility so VD could be an all pro for the next 5 years and get a ring or 4.

Exacly. I really hope that cremesickle post is the dumbest one I read all weekend.

i hope luck is a huge failure

Peyton should roll out of Indy in a mayflower van.

Please have him go to a team on the Colts' schedule next season. [Understatement]Oh man that would be a media circus.[/oftheyear] I can already hear NBC pre-emptively flexing the shit out of that game.

And Miami is playing @Indy next season. Flexed.

Peyton would be a nice #3 option in Detroit. Maybe he can teach Ol Dirty Stafford a few things.

i bet the skins give him 900 million dollars
