La HS Student sent home for wearing Colts jersey. He moved from Indiannapolis 3 years ago

He started to get angry with me," Frost said. "I thought I remember him saying, 'If you like Indiana so much, why don't you go back?"'

Vampran has acknowledged that he should not have said that, Martin said. He said no one sent Frost home — but no one kept him from leaving rather than changing shirts.

Larry Frost said he called the ACLU rather than the school because he was too angry.

"Louisiana would be proud of him anyway," Larry Frost said. "He wore Joseph Addai's jersey."

The Colts running back is a graduate of Louisiana State University.

His free speech rights were definately violated, but I don't think the Holder DOJ will enforce that. After the Phillis lost to the NY Yankees, I had a Yankees t-shirt that said "2009 WORLD ChAMPIONS" on it. I went to Applebee's for the free meal, I proudly wore my Yankees t-shirt and no on said a word to me about it. I was in Cherry Hill, NJ, right across the bridge from Philadelphia, lots of Phillies fans in this area, including my wife.

I just can't understand why you get tossed out of school for supporting your team. The is PC gone wild.

How do you stop Manning?

You have to hit him hard with a vicious pass rush, even if you give him some late hits and take a 15 year penalty. Sorry folks that is the reality of he NFL.

However Manning is great at recognizing the real blitzers.(Players who rush the passer who are not expected to, thus overloading the O Line who is trying to protect him.)

So you have to disguise the blitz by using a zone blitz, dropping back people he thinks are rushing into his perceived hot reads areas.( Hot reads are receivers who react immediately to a blitz in a preplanned move into an area the QB is expecting him to be)

However Manning is very good at reading zone blitzes and might disguise hot read receivers.

It is a giant cat & mouse game. Manning is the smartest QB. In addition he has a strong arm and has great accuracy. He can place a football within a few inches.

Drew Brees is also a great QB with a Head Coach who is one of the most innovated offensive coaches

How did Bill Walsh stop Dan Marino in Super bowl XIX? He went with a 4-1-6 defense. It was odd, but it worked. They also punished Marino with a fierce pass rush as Marino was confused by the coverage and held onto the ball too long.

The Giants beat the Patriots two years ago with just a superior D Line doing line stunts. Still it was so close.

Football at the highest level is a chess game executed with violence and speed. It isn't random, it is controlled violence with stealth. It goes back and forth in a complexity few realize. Individual players also rise up and have the game of their lives. The Super Bowl is one big pressure cooker for the players and coaches.

I hope we have a great one!

From all of the sport casters I've been listening to they are all predicting the Colts to win the Superbowl.

They said that something would have to happen to Manning in order to give the Saints a chance of winning.

Peyton Manning seems to be a decent human being. He conveys an "Aw Shucks" attitude which masks a highly refined work ethic. He expects those around him to ascribe to that same ethic - I read an interview with Jeff Saturday, with whom Manning has worked (minus the first year of Manning's entry into the NFL) his entire career in which he comments that no one works harder or expects those around to do the same. That, I believe is the key to the consistency of the Colts. There is the second, third, and fourth sense that knows the intended receiver will be where he is supposed to be and that others will also be in positions to do what they should do - or make adjustments so that alternate plays can be executed. That comes as a result of intense practice and trust that in and of itself is a product of that practice.
Manning has the ability to laugh at himself (his SNL bits are some of the funniest - when he is on Bob and Tom in the morning it is hilarious). The commercials he is in are a hoot - one never hears negative comments about him. He seems to be a private person off the field - one nevers hears about his wife - I read somewhere that he was brought up to treasure the closeness of family and the importance of keeping that sacred. One can see that he had a good example in his father and mother. When, during big games (like the AFC championship), the camera panned to the luxury boxes, one could see the Manning family (Eli, Cooper, Archie, as well as their wives) and the great smiles they exhibited as they animatedly talked about the pass that Manning threw for a touchdown - the pride on their faces was evident. I will admit, the reason why I root for the Colts is because Peyton Manning represents what I think all athletes should aspire to be - decent people, not imbued with their self importance, hard working , striving to be the best that they can be on any given day. Go Colts!

Yes, but is a riot in the French Quarter of New Orleans any different from the everyday mayhem that occurs there? Shootings, knifings, beatings, etc.

I get your point, abb. I was not thinking as a local. You are right, riot and mayhem is the order of the day.

A beautiful mind: Colts’ Manning

By RANDY COVITZ | THE KANSAS CITY STAR

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. | Jim Caldwell dug deep into scientific terminology to come up with a way to describe his quarterback.

Heck, nearly every adjective already has been used for Peyton Manning, who tonight will lead the Indianapolis Colts into Super Bowl XLIV against the New Orleans Saints. So why not trot out another way to depict the NFL’s only four-time MVP.

“I’m not certain I have any unusual way of describing it, but there is a term … hypermnesia, and he does have (it),” Caldwell said of a term that is the opposite of amnesia. “He has the ability to remember almost everything he sees and hears.

“He not only can take that information in, but he can also (repeat) it, and he can utilize it. You’ll find a lot of people can take in volumes of information, but their comprehension, maybe they get some, maybe they don’t. But being able to apply it when you need it, and he can do all of those things in the heat of the battle, under pressure, with the game on the line.

“That’s what makes him so very unusual.”

And so very productive.
