Yeah, after they win a Super Bowl. He certainly hadn't done it any time previously. Do you guys sit around watching wire service reports looking to invent ways to fluff Manning?

Plenty of guys have restructured their deals over the years. Steve Young did it almost every year he played under the salary cap system. Troy Aikman did it multiple times. Tom Brady simply took less money on the front end of his deal. To hear you people tell it, if it's good in the NFL, Manning must have come up with it.

Didn't Favre do this, too a couple years ago? It was some big name.

Actualy Peyton also did this when they resigned Harrison to a long term contract. It isn't just because they won the SB.

Not to add to the love fest, but I think last year Manning offered to restructure his contract so that they could retain Edgerrin James.

I guess Peyton will never do anything to get a "that was sorta cool" from you, right? Good thing he doesn't require your approval to move on to next year...

for me, i think it's about time. that huge contract when it was signed, you just knew that at some point it was going to eat up cap space. no way he could keep that kind of deal and the colts be able to sign quality players and keep them for any length of time.

Yes, he will. When he retires and disappears from the national stage, I'll think that is exceptionally cool.

What makes you despise Peyton so much hat??

I don't despise him. I generally could care less if he disappeared from the planet tomorrow. On the other hand, the clueless UT fans who mindlessly worship the guy and act as if he invented UT football do irritate me.
