I have always had a soft spot for cheer bear:

Well ....

#1- this is a Colts/Peyton Manning thread. NOT a RGIII thread.
#2- I respect the fact people will talk about their preferences.

All I'm saying is I'm just sooo sick of the RGIII fans all over his jock. It's a slobber fest that is making me sick. I could imagine someone finding out what type, brand, color of underwear he wears and everyone would be saying how they went out and already have his brand. Cause you know .... RGIII's brand is the most confortable and makes you work better and faster. ...

thats all.

Thats where I'm at with RGIII now. I know he will be good and I'll be happy if the team gets him ... I guess. But I'm so tired of hearing how he's "the it". he's the knight in shinning armor. He's gunna make us winners. He has no flaws. He's the BEST. :vomit:

Please let us know who is saying that.

Their not. But do you understand when something starts irritating you enough that your just tired of it? reading the posts from some people here would lead you to believe he's our savior. When flaws are brought up there is no discussion it's simply over looked and not discussed so we don't have to think about them.

Ok it's probably just me. At this point I'm almost hoping we get him to so the jock fest can stop. I just hope he doesn't severely let the fans down by not living up to their expectations.

Unless he's hurt, there's no reason he shouldn't be ready to play right away.

Absolutely. I'm not sold on RGIII and don't see how anyone could be...but if it comes to mortgaging the future to get him then at least put him under center.

I'm just saying I don't see a reason why RGIII wouldn't be ready. He's extremely bright and talented. I just think it would be a disappointment if he's not ready to play right off the bat.

Agree...RG3/Rex is probably fine.

I agree. I would be shocked if RGIII werent out-performing Rex in every way by a wide margin by the end of the pre-season.

I hope the trade is announced Tuesday.

I looked at the menu and their prices were not sky high. I say Ruth Chris or The Palm is more then that place. He most have had a bunch of folks in his party.

Yeah no sympathy for the waiter here. You got a great tip, be happy, respect his privacy, and if you decided to tell your friends about that one time Peyton Manning gave you a huge tip, then so be it. But posting the receipt online? You deserve everything you get.

At least Manning didn't get caught using the wrong card.

That waiter deserved to be fired. Peyton is a private citizen like the rest of us, no matter how much he makes. No one needs to know how much he spends, tips or see the receipts from his purchases. That waiter could be probably prosecuted on top of the firing if Peyton really wanted to, he's opening Manning up to identity theft if anyone would be stupid enough to try it with someone so-well known.

If the customer was an elected official and taxpayers were paying for the deal, we may have different story, but Peyton makes his own money.
