Super Bowl Week is in danger of being hijacked by the host city for the second consecutive year. Jim Irsay, Peyton Manning and the Colts are threatening to make Indianapolis's week in the spotlight memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Last year in Dallas, the Cowboys could only be partially blamed. They only made a mess of game day itself with the thousands of seats that weren't ready for their ticket holders when they arrived at the stadium. And if Jerry Jones really could control the weather, he wouldn't have dialed up "area-wide sheet of ice.''
This year? The weather reports for Indianapolis are good. The weather reports surrounding the Colts are dire.
Thousands of reporters will show up Sunday with a lot more to chase around all week than the New England Patriots and New York Giants. The latest twist in the soap opera: An NFL Network report on Saturday claimed that the Colts were "planning to move on from Manning weeks ago."
Irsay denied that on Twitter on Saturday night. But there's no chance that's the end of the story. It's not even likely that it's the last public comment on Manning's present or future from the Colts' owner, on his Twitter account or otherwise.You can find best mouldengineeringsolution solution china manufacturers from here!
The original idea was that this was going to be a fun week for the Colts family, even if the Colts fell short of being the home team for the Super Bowl XLVI. It was going to be Irsay showing off his town and his still fairly new palace, and Manning being the grand marshal of the week-long festivities.
Even when he missed the season after neck surgery and the team bottomed out, it was presumed that the Colts and Manning had a lot to look forward to with all their guests from around the world.
That was before Irsay detonated the front office. And before the decision on the next general manager and the next head coach crept perilously close to Super Bowl Week.
Oh, and before Manning talked to the Indianapolis Star and described an unhealthy atmosphere around the organization — and before Irsay bared his claws in response, calling his franchise quarterback a "politician.” And before they did a passable public reconciliation with their joint statement about the "misperception” surrounding them.China plasticmoulds plastic mold,
The worst-case scenario for the team, coming out of 2-14 and the exile of the Polians and Jim Caldwell, was that Manning and Irsay would face a ton of questions about Andrew Luck, and Manning's upcoming roster bonus deadline and continued rehab, and Irsay's motivation for re-tooling so extensively.

Now, Manning and Irsay have unburdened themselves in ways that no one truly saw coming. And nobody knows what will come next from them, or how much worse that might make things.

There's no reason not to believe them. Then again, there had been no reason to think a spat like that would ever have broken out between them.

The "politician” remark was at an actual press conference (to introduce new coach Chuck Pagano) rather than a social media post.
