Peyton Manning to help Colts from booth

Peyton Manning will return to the Colts in the press box Sunday when they face the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, hoping to help them to their their first win of the season.

Manning, speaking to The Indianapolis Star, said he will sit next to quarterbacks coach Ron Turner at Lucas Oil Field and be involved in the locker-room routine before the game and at halftime.

It will serve as a welcome change for Manning, more than two weeks after neck surgery that has sidelined him for at least two months and kept him away from the Colts' first two games.

"I walked around for a while angry, in a bad mood. ... 'Woe is me,' " Manning told the newspaper Friday. "I've gotten over that. It doesn't do any good."

This has to be killing Manning ... he's a great competitor. I wish he was playing. I know we stand a better chance of winning if he's not playing, but if we're a good team, we have to win even if he was playing.

he is just getting used to the other side of the glass. his career well soon be coming to an end

Yeah, age is starting to catch up to him. Even without the injury, he's not the same QB he was even a few years ago. I hated when we had to face him over the years, but as a football fan, it's been a pleasure watching him play.


We're writing his obituary ... he could still go on to win a few more Super Bowls.
