As the Indianapolis Colts opened their first offseason minicamp on Friday, we were glad to see the starting quarterback Peyton Manning also participate in most parts of the workouts. It seems the neck problem is no longer bothering him and the leading role of Colts was ready to start a new wonderful season.
“I’m out here throwing and I’ll no longer have to get the treatment that I’ve been getting for the last four years. It’s a great relief,” Manning said Friday, assuring his fans that there is nothing to worry about his neck. “All my symptoms and issues that I’ve been dealing with for the last four years have subsided.”
Returning of Peyton lit up the hopes of Colts winning the Super Bowl XLV championship. The team lost the Super Bowl XLIV to the New Orleans Saints in February. Talking about the loss to the former team of his father, Archie Manning, Peyton said that he was grateful for father’s support and felt regretful for the loss. But he promised that he would win the new competition in 2011. He joked that his father had got ready to put on his Archie Manning jersey for celebration of son’s third Super Bowl victory.

Saints beat Colts to win Super Bowl
Four-time MVP quarterback Peyton Manning failed to earn another Super Bowl MVP title after Sunday night’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints. The title was given to the Pro Bowl quarterback in No. 9 Saints jersey, Drew Brees, who led the team to a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. The Pro Bowl quarterback was chosen Super Bowl MVP. And the Saints won three postseason games for the first time- during the previous 42 years they won two postseason games at most. This franchise first championship came 4 1/2 years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season.
The Saints scored 107 points and allowed only 59 while Manning’s mistake caused the Colts to lose their lead during the first half. A pass from Manning turned out to be Tracy Porter’s 74-yeard interception return. He tried to chase but fell awkwardly as the cornerback zipped by. The Saints began celebration while Manning walked to the sideline with deep frustration.

Colts QB Manning led a 23-15 win over Vickless Eagles
On Thursday night’s preseason game the Indianapolis Colts playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning threw two touchdown passes in three series before leaving and played a most important role in Colts win over the Eagles, something rarely happened to the Colts.
As a three-time league MVP, Manning‘s good performance was not really a surprise. He managed to finish 10 of 14 for 167 yards with two touchdowns in less than 11 minutes and proved that he has played long enough in colts jersey to get into a steady rhythm. His backup Curtis Painter also did not do bad job, finishing with 11 of 19 for 116 yards with one interception and leading the team to three field goals.
As for the Eagles, four of their five projected offensive line starters were not available for playing in the game. Starting running back Brian Westbrook did not perform well and starting fullback Leonard Weaver injured knee in the first quarter. Newly signed quarterback Michael Vick was not eligible to play in the preseason game yet. The first score came when DeSean Jackson split two defenders down the middle of the field and Donovan McNabb threw a perfect 39-yard strike for the TD to make it 14-7, but the team failed to gain another score until Adam DiMichele found Brandon Gibson for a 21-yard TD with only 26 seconds left.
