"Peyton Manning’s streak of 160 straight starts doesn’t appear in serious danger after minor knee surgery.
But the superstar quarterback’s medical problems — an infected bursa sac in his left knee — only adds to the long injury list the Indianapolis Colts will face when they open training camp July 25.
Not only will Manning be unavailable, but so will defensive end Dwight Freeney, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and safety Bob Sanders, the NFL’s defensive player of the year last season."
Now how much is a pre-season ticket to see the Colts again?

I don't get why people would pay to see the inside of a building, unless times are so tough they figure that's the only way they will EVER be inside Lucas Stadium. I read an article in the STAR on Monday about the average family being priced out of Pro Games.
I know I have to wait until someone GIVES me tickets to see a game.....groceries and bills get in the way of my fun dang it!

Probably the only reason some are going is for the elephant ears & deep-fried twinkies.

As Sarah Fisher says:

Hoosiers like it deep fried and cooked outside!

And for those who are worried about the QB situation,
Jim Sorgi was a Big 10 quarterback drafted in the 6th round to backup a #1 overall draft pick.
There is another QB who fits that same description.

Close, Tom Brady.
Both Sorgi and Brady were Big 10 QBs. Sorgi was at Wisconsin and Brady at Michigan.
Both were drafted in the 6th round Sorgi at #193 in 2004 and Brady at 199 in 2000.
Both were brought in as back-ups to former #1 overall picks, Sorgi to back-up Manning and Brady to back-up Drew Bledsoe.

Brady went to Notre Dame, which is not a Big 10 school.
He was also a first round pick, chosen 22nd overall.
He is currently backing up Derek Anderson who was a 6th round pick, selected 213 overall in 2005.
Sorry :(

OK guys on the PUP AKA Physically unable to preform list Cotls Vs. Pats
Guys on the PUP list
Colts-5*<Pats-7
-Colts-WR-Marvin Harrison*(Cleared by Tony Dungy to practice), OLB-TyJuan Haggler, DE-Dwight Freeney, S-Bob Sanders, & QB-Peyton Manning.
-Pats-DE-Jarvis Green, TE-Benjamen Watson, LB-Mike Vrable, CB-Ellis Hobbs, T-Nick Kazur, G-Stephen Neil, & one more O-linemen who got in trouble with pain killers.
Time to heal
Colts>Pats
Colts guys on the PUP list are expected to be back for the season opener, while most of the guys on the Pats PUP list are expected to miss the beginning of the season since they got injured in Super Bowl 42 as apposed to the Colts guys who all aside from Hagler were injured in the div. round of the playoffs or earlier. So lets see here that's like what 3 or 4 (at the least) more weeks the Colts guys on the PUP list have had to heal then the Pats guys.

Well, personally I think the AFC East is a very underated Div. Rmember this season that entire div. aside from New England (who lost the most in free agency) made the biggest splash in free agency.+ the NFC West is very simular, lots of underated teams. Now personally I think San Diego has an easier schedule. They are in arguably the eaiest div. in the AFC. And some how their div managed to slide the second easiest div in the AFC (AFC East) and the easiest div in football (NFC South) on to their schedule. And the Chargers managed to host New England and Indy at home. And get this they also get the Jets at home, Buffalo on the road on Oct. 19th or 20th, and Denver on the road in September. Then the only game against a good NFC team (New Orleans) the Chargers play was supposed to be at New Orleand, but the NFL decided to more that game to Lundon. Then after that game the Chargers have a by week then play Kansas City at home. Then the only other 2 cold weather games the Chargers have to play are Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh in Nov. and Kanasas City at Kansas City in Dec. And on top of all that the Chargers open their season hosting the Carolina Panthers.
Now I wanna know how the 2 teams playing in last seaon's AFC conferance title game managed to land the 2 easiest schedules in the NFL. But also keep in mind that for the most part everyone else has diemed New England's schedule as the easiest in the NFL and since 2002 of all the teams who have had the easiest schedule only 1 has made the play offs and the same goes for all the teams who have gone to the super bowl and lost.

I am honestly surprised that the New England game is here. The Colts have a really tough schedule this year, I think the only schedule that's tougher might be Pittsburgh.
First of all, the AFC South IS the toughest division. Jax will be really good this year, and I expect Houston to be a serious contender.
I'm not so sure about your comments on the AFC East.
Miami is a joke. Maybe Tuna can turn it around in a couple of years, but they will be lucky to ger 5 wins this year.
The Jets might be interesting to watch as they did make a lot of off-season moves, but until they get a solid QB they will be no match for the Fatriots.
Buffalo, well, they're Buffalo. Unpredictable at best. They have a lot of pieces necessary for a playoff run, but whether or not they can put them together remains to be seen.
