Farbeyonddriven Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 [b] ndy radio host says Peyton needs another neck procedure[/b] Posted by Mike Florio on September 4, 2011, 9:15 PM EDT [img]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/peytongetty-e1315185310200.jpg?w=242[/img] Getty Images Here’s one that we considered holding until we could get confirmation. But the emails are flowing in like chocolates on a conveyor belt, and the only way to turn the machine off is to post an item on what could be a stunning development in the saga of Colts quarterback [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1493/peyton-manning"]Peyton Manning[/url]. Radio host John Michael Vincent of ESPN 1070 in Indianapolis says via Twitter, citing multiple unnamed sources, that Manning [url="https://twitter.com/#%21/JMV1070/status/110501625562533888"]needs another procedure on his neck[/url], and that Manning is out indefinitely. Manning has had two neck surgeries in the last two years, and there have been concerns regarding his recovery and rehabilitation. The team’s recent decision to sign Kerry Collins raised eyebrows. Since then, Manning has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he lately has seemed upbeat when discussing the situation with the media. Also, the decision to keep only two other quarterbacks. Says John Michael Vincent, who goes by his initials on the air, of his report: “I’m not trying to be a newsbreaker. Never cared for that. I thought you would like to know. Seems to be solid. [url="https://twitter.com/#%21/JMV1070/status/110505712110682112"]If I’m wrong U can torch me[/url].” The Colts have been silent so far, but owner Jim Irsay has made an indirect reference on Twitter to the classic astronaut SOS: “Houston, we have a problem.” Instead of typing those words, Irsay has [url="http://twitter.com/#%21/JimIrsay/status/110504722141679616"]opted for the lesser-known follow up[/url]. “Excuse me, sir, I think this will be our finest hour.” If JMV is accurate, Colts fans will have a hard time agreeing with that. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/04/indy-radio-host-says-peyton-needs-another-neck-procedure/#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farbeyonddriven Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I can see the bandwagon jumpers right now! When they "beat" us in preseason I had people saying "Sorry about your team, man", and "What happened to your team"? Clueless. Part of me hopes this is true, though he is a good guy. They will suck hardcore without Peyton, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farbeyonddriven Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 [b] Colts will address Manning’s status for opener by noon[/b] Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 5, 2011, 9:26 AM EDT [img]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/p-manning-b-polian.jpg?w=149[/img] AP The Colts are well known for burying injury information, but they know they can’t just ignore all the questions about [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1493/peyton-manning"]Peyton Manning[/url]. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Colts plan to address Manning’s [url="http://twitter.com/#%21/AdamSchefter/status/110701625269686272"]status for the season opener[/url] by noon ET Monday. Schefter [url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/04/mort-no-new-procedure-on-peytons-neck-as-of-now/"]echoed Chris Mortensen’s report[/url] from Sunday night that there are no plans for Manning to undergo more surgery. (Schefter left off the “as of now.”) This isn’t the only news the Colts will break Monday. Owner Jim Irsay said vice Chairman Bill Polian [url="http://twitter.com/#%21/JimIrsay/status/110569612793487360"]would have a statement[/url] about new replay assistant Jim Tressel’s status. Florio reported on air Saturday that the NFL [url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/03/nfl-will-review-jim-tressels-status-with-colts/"]would review Tressel’s status[/url] with the team. Tressel’s hire was made without approval by the league, which goes against protocol. The last time we saw Polian at a press conference, he was helping to announce Manning’s monster contract extension. This one won’t have the same celebratory vibe.

JC Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I wish they would wait. I have a FF draft tomorrow night and I'd love to get Peyton in like the 6th and watch him come back and dominates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't wish anything bad on Peyton but don't feel a bit sorry for those spoiled ass rotten Colts fans. They need to to be knocked down a notch or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Peyton is done, ...stick a fork in him. Even if he forces himself to come back he'll never be the same. I have the exact same problem as him including the nerves acting up and I had the associated muscle spasms in the back that are really intense (so much so that at times I only got 3-4 hours of sleep a night on heavy painkillers). Occasionally, my arms go numb or tingle and at times I lose strength in one or the other and its been over 6 years since the accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I sadly think Jeb may be right about this injury threatening Peyton's career, and that's got to be crushing for him. That dude is football through and through. I think if surgery was actually going to help, it would have done so the first time... I wonder what a guy like Peyton, who can't play right now, thinks of Carson's choice not to play. I bet he'd give his left nut (to Shaelynn?) and sign with the Bengals to be an injury free player again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The only difference between his injury and mine is that I opted not to have the surgery. There is at best a 50/50 chance at fixing the problem with surgery with the best surgeon. I don't like those odds. Surgery involves fusing the vertebrae and less mobility that comes with it. Minor surgery can be for just cleanup but even that can cause scar tissue that can irritate the nerve. As I said, ...he's living my story now, ...he's done!

The surgery scared the crap out of him so he tries to diet, exercise wisely, and get the odd cortisone shot when things get really bad. He had to sell a car a few years ago because the general vehicle vibration was just right and caused his arm to go numb... A friend's husband has a bad disk too, but he opted for a disk replacement surgery in Germany he can't get here. Haven't heard how it went though.

JC Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Out "awhile" according to ESPN. Sounds like Carson circa 2008. Stick a fork in the Colts. They're done this year.

CTBengalsFan Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Woot no Manning when we play them Just put him on IR already, it makes no sense to rush this type of injury. Give him what will be over a year to recover, make sure he's 100%. If you can do that, he still has 3-5 good years in him left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
