Sports - Peyton Manning contract

I like to watch football, and I cheer on the Colts because I am a Hoosier through and through, but I'm not a huge sports fan. Mostly just football and volleyball. Peyton Manning's contract is up after this year, and there is no doubt in my mind he would leave the Colts, but everyone seems to want to know what's going to happen. How much is he going to make?!? My answer: who cares? Seriously, Peyton is definitely more focused on other things, like winning the Superbowl. Here's a quote from Peyton talking about how he will not discuss his contract:

“For one thing, it keeps another thing from clouding your mind. It’s served me pretty well. I don’t see much reason to abort that now. I’m under contract. I’m in a good frame of mind mentally. I’m excited about this team. It will work out. I don’t get into the numbers or see how that has any affect on me. I’ve got too much football to deal with.”

Peyton is such a class act. He seriously has to be one of the most down-to-earth football players out there. And that is why I love him. Not to mention his rocket, golden quarterback arm. Peyton is looking to the future. So what, they lost to the-team-that-must-not-be-named (as my brothers call them these days). It's in the past, and the Colts are looking up. Imagine what they could do with a full healthy team!?! If I were any other coach in the NFL, especially a defensive coordinator, I would be shaking in my boots. Yeah, the Colts are coming for you.
