Re: Irsay showing his true colors
They had no business giving Manning giving him the contract that they gave him. I don't blame Manning for wanting the money, but this is a part of what comes with that. It is as though Manning finally realized, after 14 years, that he was not the owner of the Colts. It started with that timeout Caldwell called against the Jets, and its been going down the hill since.

The nerves in Manning’s arm are not healing as quickly as hoped and, worse, don’t appear to be progressing at enough of a rate to indicate that he will play again, according to two sources with knowledge of Manning’s rehabilitation from neck surgery.

Irsay has been spouting hot gas all this time about Manning. He should be ashamed of himself, but apparently ha no shame. Look at his statements today in the press.
Re: Irsay showing his true colors
Dan Marino said that he had this surgery and that his arm was never the same from it. Ed Reed would have to have a similar surgery for his nerve impingement, but has been holding off on getting it for this reason. If he has the surgery, he can live a good life, but not a good football life. Manning chose to have the surgery.
