The Manning brothers have become two of the best quarterbacks in the game and yet, they don’t have anyone to throw the football to this year.

You read it, Peyton and Eli Manning have quite a dilemma coming to the 2009 NFL football season. Both of these guys lost their primary receivers and without that playmaker to throw the football to, they better learn some pointers from Peterson and start running for TDs.

However, if there’s anyone in the league who can win games without a decent wide receiver, a Manning can. And as far as both Peyton Manning and Eli Manning are concerned, the 2009 season will definitely bring both of these guys new challenges but I expect both of them to persevere.

And since Peyton Manning is the older brother, we’ll start with him. The Indianapolis Colts will be missing some very familiar faces for the 2009 NFL season. The most glaring of which is the departure of premiere wide receiver Marvin Harrison.

However, as unfortunate as the absence of Marvin Harrison will be on the Colts’ playbook, many probably saw this one coming as early as last season and even the season before that. You see, Harrison has struggled to stay on the field with health issues the last few years. And although he was able to come back from it time and time again, he was simply never the same guy the Colts knew to be.

Fortunately for the Colts, they still have guys like…

It’s shocking really how one of the premiere wide receivers in the game still doesn’t have a team to play for.

Now former Indianapolis Colts wideout Marvin Harrison, now a free agent, said he has no plans to retire and that he wants to play in the 2009 NFL football season, according to his agent, Tom Condon.

Condon said the problematic knee that has limited some of the speed and overall effectiveness we usually see from Marvin Harrison hasn’t been an issue either. Harrison, who is now 37, was released by the Indianapolis Colts after the 2008 season, in large part for salary-cap relief. Harrison, who didn’t agree to a restructured contract, was scheduled to count more than $13 million against the Colts’ 2009 cap.

”I played in 15 games last year and a playoff game, and I intend to play again this season,” Marvin Harrison said in an interview.

Marvin Harrison and Indianapolis parting ways in the offseason ended Harrison’s 13-year run with the Colts, with whom he established himself as one of the top receivers in NFL history and built up likely Hall of Fame credentials that include 1,102 receptions for 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns.

Last season, Harrison had just 60 catches for 636 yards and five touchdowns, the lowest full single season totals of his career. That’s after he missed 11 games in 2007 because of a knee injury, catching just 20 passes and scoring one touchdown.

There hasn’t been much interest in Harrison at this point, but Condon said he expects his client to sign with a team soon before the season begins.

Harrison was selected by the Colts with the 19th selection in…

Probably because of the recession. Hee-hee…

Indianapolis’ second most popular football star (next to Peyton Manning of course…) is parting ways with the Colts, creating a lot of buzz in the process even before the 2009-10 NFL football season kicks off.

Yes, Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison has been having his problems with the Colts front office lately after team executives asked the veteran to take a pay cut. For a guy who has been one of the Colts’ most identifiable players, who ranks second in the league in career receptions and holds all of Indianapolis’ major career and season receiving records, it was understandable why the veteran isn’t too fond of the situation.

Understandably still, Marvin Harrison has already asked the Indianapolis Colts for his release even before the team decided to part ways with the star. What was the reason for the team to ask their premiere receiver to take a pay cut? Read on.

Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian told reporters Sunday at the NFL annual scouting combine that the team was trying to…

How about that huh?

The brand new 2008-09 NFL football season is almost here and somewhere in Philly, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has began to reminisce what would’ve it been if he and Terrell Owens got along.

You read it, apparently, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb misses former teammate Terrell Owens, saying that is T.O. stayed in Philly instead of leaving for Dallas, ”it could’ve been great.”

”It could’ve been great,” Donovan McNabb said. ”What did we have, 30 TDs? You don’t see that type of combination very often. That’s like Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. We would’ve been up there.”

You really can’t blame McNabb for thinking the way he does right now. He spent most of the last two seasons in the injury list while former teammate Terrell Owens came THAT close from reaching the Super Bowl again with the Dallas Cowboys.

McNabb knows too that Owens finally have a quarterback he can trust and listens to in Tony Romo. And while the Cowboys are slowly becoming the team to beat in the NFC, McNabb’s Eagles are slowly falling to the pits of obscurity after every season.

For what it’s worth, McNabb says he’s…

These guys want to become the dominant force of NFL football again and forget the mess that transpired in Super Bowl XLII in Glendale.

With the 2008 NFL football season only a hiccup away, teams from the AFC have begun their road in recapturing the title ”dominant conference” after losing it when the Giants shocked the then undefeated Patriots to become Super Bowl XLII champions.

Of course, there’s no team more eager in recapturing that dominance than the New England Patriots. After finishing the regular season undefeated to reach the Super Bowl only to lose to New York, the Patriots will be out for blood this year.

Randy Moss is on board, Tom Brady is still there and they still have their coach Bill Belichick, who will win games for you by any means necessary. Besides, these guys have unfinished business with history and I won’t be surprised if they flirt with perfection again.

Also a team to look out in the AFC is the Indianapolis Colts. Extremely talented and well-coached, the Colts should still be serious contenders for the Super Bowl title.

With Peyton Manning at the helm and Tony Dungy in the sidelines, this team can beat anybody and just might have enough to challenge the Patriots for a perfect regular season record. But first, they will have to figure out how to keep their…

Yes, injuries are plaguing one of the best teams in football.

While we count down the remaining days left before the 2008-09 NFL football season kicks off, the Colts are on dangerous grounds these days with three of their main stars injured.

Bob Sanders has an injured shoulder, Marvin Harrison has an injured knee, Dwight Freeney’s Lisfranc and probably the biggest of them all, Peyton Manning has an infected bursa sac.

With all these injuries, you’ve got to wonder, can these guys keep up with their AFC rivals, New England Patriots, and climb back on top of the mountain like they did a year ago?

Being the competitors that they are, the Indianapolis Colts are not giving up on hope just yet, after all, the brand new season is yet to start. In fact, they are coming into the season with a whole lot of confidence, claiming that they may have put together one of their most talented rosters in franchise history.

You have to wonder how in the hell can these guys claim that with their leader Peyton Manning out at least a month. STILL, Colts team president Bill Polian likes his team’s chances this season. It is up to…

Just when you think the Patriots are the ones being hated the most after their ’spying cameras scandal’ last season, this happened.

For all ya’ll who didn’t know, Indianapolis Colts star Marvin Harrison was recently linked to a shooting near his car wash and garage. Reports say Harrison was neither charged nor is under investigation by the authorities. After this one, he should be.

With still more than a few months more before the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season begins, Marvin Harrison found himself making headlines already although this is the kind of news nobody would like to be in.

Turns out that six of the bullet casings found from the shooting came from the gun owned by… you guessed it, Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver Marvin Harrison.

This is after the police returned to the scene of the crime to examine the bullet holes in two residences after new information was given to the authorities by an alleged third victim of the shooting incident. Chances are, it won’t be Peyton Manning.

Marvin Harrison and his people still claim the Colts wideout was not present during the said shooting, claiming that Harrison’s gun was not involved. Luckily for this guy, the police still has no clue of any…

I was THIS close from coming up with a ”was there a worse NBA team than the ‘07 Miami Heat” bit…

But I figured, I still have more than enough time to do that in the NBA’s 82-game season. As far as the 2007-08 NFL football season is concerned, they only have 17 weeks, so I’ll try to berate these retards as much as I can.

Yes, DISMAL has been the very word to describe the pathetic Miami Dolphins. These guys ALMOST went through a full season WINLESS after their 1972 counterparts went on to become the first undefeated team in the NFL.

So who were worse? Better yet, who was the worst?

Back in 1980, the New Orleans Saints posted a dismal 1-15 record that came from a deranged 0-14 start. Although these guys had decent seasons with Archie Manning and Wes Chandler running the team, they opened up their 1980 campaign losing 14 STRAIGHT GAMES. Jeez…

Luckily, they played an equally pathetic team then, the 3-12 New York Jets. Jets running back Bruce Harper committed a crucial gaffe by running around in pursuit of…

It has been seven weeks of NFL football folks and we still have two teams yet to taste defeat on that football field.

Yep, the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, two rivals from the AFC, are still undefeated and are still on that road to match the mark set by the 1972 Miami Dolphins, that being finishing a single season PERFECT. And as the 2007-08 NFL football season heads for Week 7, you can bet your ass we’ll be watching these two teams and wait who’ll blink first.

The New England Patriots, the heavy favorites to win it all this season, ironically have the now pathetic Miami Dolphins on Sunday as they try to keep their bid to match the mark set by these Dolphins’ 1972 counterparts alive.

This year’s version of the Miami Dolphins is ridiculously pathetic. Let me get that one out first. While the ‘72 Dolphins went for a season undefeated, these Dolphins are going through a season winless. Hee hee… They are currently hobbling at a humiliating 0-6 stand, letting them become only one of two teams yet to taste a win this year. The St. Louis Rams being the other one.

Expect the New England Patriots to bitch-slap the Miami Dolphins -13.5 at home.

On Sunday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers visit INVESCO Field to play the Denver Broncos. After a disappointing season following their Super Bowl win, this year’s…

Week 3, and surprisingly, the Houston Texas are STILL perfect.

Yep, amidst all the key match-ups in Week 3 of the 2007-08 NFL football season, the game between probably the most surprising team in the NFL, that being the Houston Texans, and the defending Super Bowl XLI champions, Indianapolis Colts, could very well be the most intriguing.

You see, both the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts are currently the co-leaders of the AFC South. Yeah sure, Colts leading the division is no surprise, but what’s shocking is the fact that the Houston Texans, all of a sudden, became the Colts’ biggest adversaries if you will, in the division.

The Houston Texans virtually ran through their rivals after two weeks of football. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs and the Carolina Panthers by an average of two touchdowns.

Yes, they have all the momentum heading to their epic encounter with the defending Super Bowl champs.

However, with the Indianapolis Colts heading for Texas to face these Texans, perhaps the biggest key in this game is the absence of Houston’s premiere wideout, Andre Johnson. Johnson already had a trio of touchdowns for the Texans after…
