While the announcement was not a surprise, it is still a sad day for Colts fans that Peyton is no longer a Colt. I didn’t watch the press conference, but the video clips I have seen show that it was handled well.
It will be tough to see Manning in a different jersey, but it is significant that no one will wear #18 again for the Colts. Will be interesting to watch how the Colts move on from here and where Peyton ends up.
Thoughts from a Hoosier Fan in the Buckeye Land 
Almost as sad as when I went through job elimination at Med Pro after 28 years – almost!
ok…maybe not. Think that Peyton probably has a few more endorsements than you did at the time…maybe.
