Covered the Indianapolis Colts for five years at @StampedeBlue. Now I just tweet.

I tweet a lot about Peyton Manning. It's probably easy to miss some of the tweets and threads, so I've compiled a number of them into one thread here for convenience:

Fans don’t get to yell “FIRE SALE!” and then complain about the returns.
Colts are trading from a position of weakness, with a deadline approaching. You accrue as many assets as you can, and prepare for a rebuild.

Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.
But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.

Mike Macdonald & Seattle D in last 2 games vs 2 GOAT offensive masterminds:
Sean Payton: fewest yds/play (2.9) in HC career (319 games)
Andy Reid: Only game of HC career (488 games) with 0 explosive plays (10-yd run or 20-yd rec)

Vikings blitzed Daniel Jones on 85% of his dropbacks, the highest rate for any NFL team in the past 20 seasons, per ESPN Research.

I really appreciate Tom Brady’s disdain for some of these Roughing The Passer calls
He’s an owner and one of the lead commentators.. he’s got A LOT OF WEIGHT
That’s an atrocious flag against the Packers. NFL officiating is as bad as Big 12 officiating. What a mess.

Interesting @NDFootball 2026 Schedule Update!!
As of the current @AP poll, ND has 4 teams on its schedule ranked in the Top 25:
Miami (1), BYU (8), SMU (19), and Wisconsin (25).
Just in the top 10, that is the same number of ranked teams as:
@GeorgiaFootball
@AlabamaFTBL
Just in the top 10, that is MORE than:
@CanesFootball (1)
@OhioStateFB (3)
@IUHoosiers (2)
@Utah_Football (3)
@UCLAFootball (1)
@BYUfootball (2)
Only @UKFootball has more than the Irish (5).
Perhaps the talking heads at @ESPN or on @CollegeGameDay can stop with their season-long narrative that ND doesn’t play anyone. Zero facts to support that contention, just 100% bias designed to relegate the Irish to a “2 game season”…when it clearly is not!

Challenge: Find the worst possible answer to a question.
Anthony Richardson, your submission?
#Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. says his marijuana charge is an ongoing legal matter and barely commented on it.
Does he regret the incident?
“I enjoy life. I don’t really regret a lot of things I do. I appreciate my life. I appreciate God waking me up every morning. …”
Can’t fault a guy who is coaching for his job for not wanting to turn to Anthony Richardson (he’s unpredictable and not good).
The problem is that the other option is Daniel Jones, and it’s hard to justify continuing to start him (he’s not good either).
Tough spot for Colts.
Shane Steichen on a quarterback change (courtesy of @WISHNews8):
"No, I have not thought about a quarterback change."
Why?
"Because I have a ton of faith in Daniel..."
The Packers “took the points” and still got no points. That seems relevant to the 4th down discourse.
Josh Wilson retweeted
Daniel Jones with just 2.6 yards per dropback today.
That ranks 206th among 207 qualified games this season.
Josh Wilson retweeted
Someone needs to make us a compilation of Shane Steichen saying, in so many words, "We have to be better, and that starts with me..." over and over again in his post game pressers.
#Colts
Daniel Jones had one half of a season where he was a different player than he’s been the rest of his career. The Colts bet on him regaining that form.
He most certainly has not. Giants fans will recognize this Daniel Jones.
The Colts being bad would be easier to handle if they actually had a first round pick.
Now it’s just double discouraging.
This is interesting: “Irsay-Gordon views [Jonathan] Taylor as a key part of the organization and a likely mainstay in their rebuild.”
Sources: Colts face big decisions on star players as the NFL trade deadline looms, via @RapSheet and me.
