A BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK EXCLUSIVE....SPORTS SHORTS TAKE 12

At what point do you say a CAREER has been a VERY GOOD ONE and due to HELATH Concerns I have to do what's right for MY Family and I moving forward.

COLTS' QB Peyton MANNING is officially at the CROOS RAODS and it is only fitting the MAN who built LUCAS OIL FIELD with Coach Tony DUNGY and gave the INDY Football Fans that Promise of every year COMPETING for the LOMBARDI might have to call it quits.

The PERFECT SCENARIO would have been for #18 from ROCKY TOP by way of New Orleans HS Isadore NEWMAN would to be playing in SUPER BOWL 46 in LUCAS OIL in front of WHAT he and Coach Tony DUNGY built in NAPtown.....a COLTS DYNASTY.

Instead now with things falling all around the FOUNDATION of what was built and the Architect of that FOUNDATION GONE in COLTS President Bill POLIAN...Peyton finds himself looking in the MIRROR of what he wants to do moving forward. Who knows if we will ever hear how bad his NECK INJURY was but Peyton seeing him from a far the BLUEDUDE knows something not quite right.

Now within the last 24 Hours it has been reported that COLTS Owner Jim IRSAY wants to meet with MANNING about his future and it is serious talk considering #18 is due to make a whopping $28 MIllion Roster Bonus for being on the COLTS Roster in MARCH 2012.

Now with the COLTS almost certain they will take STANFORD's QB Andrew LUCK at #1 the COLTS are NOT going to pay LUCK n #18 that kind of money where they tie their hands up to help the OVERALL ROSTER in the GRAND SCHEME of things.

Remember Peyton's DAD Archie saying about a month ago that PEYTON and LUCK on the SAME ROSTER wouldn't be a VERY Good Idea and then ARCHIE reneged on that reversing that thought. Well POLIAN and his SON getting the AX lets you know that IRSAY felt threatened that he is NOT in CONTROL of his organization and he has stepped in in a BIG WAY to let all the COLTS NATION and #18 know everything still comes through him as long as I have the CHECK BOOK.

Bad News out of the OK CITY Corral...back-up POINT GUARD Eric MAYNOR of VCU RAMS Fame is out for the SEASON with a reported TORN Anterior Cruciate LIGAMENT (ACL TEAR) and now all that FIREPOWER the THUNDER has onn the 2nd Unit will have to go through another MAESTRO as MAYNOR was the PERFECT 2nd Unit POINT and 1st UNIT Back-Up to lead the THUNDER.

Did anyone see the ORANGE BOWL and if you DID there is a rule to follow...NEVER BEAT an OPPONENT completely DOWN because one it doesn't look good on your COACHING PHILOSOPHY and Two the SHOE may be on the OTHER FOOT one day.

The MOUNTAINEERS are as talented as anyone but to put 73 up on ACC Power CLEMSON in a BOWL GAME is useless and further let's me know that the LSU TIGERS should have went for blood vs the MOUNTAINEERS in MORGANTOWN earlier in the year. It lets me know the TRAIN of thought around not ONLY MORGANTOWN but COLLEGE FOOTBALL.....BEAT your OPPONENT to death because that's the WAY you get more POINTS for the FINAL POLL....THANKS BCS and VOTERS for creating that part of COLLEGE FOOTBALL that is so for ANNOYING it is not even funny.

One thing about the TIM TEBOW saga that I find truly interesting.....his former COACH URBAN MEYER believed in him 110% and then Former BRONCOS Coach Josh McDANIEL believed in TEBOW so much he drafted him in the 1st ROUND. So the BLUEDUDE wants to know what do you feel about URBAN MEYER Sticking up for his boy and Josh McDANIELS since he got run out of town it seems in 1980 for PICKING TEBOW and not looking good his 1st SEASON?...Someone tell the BLUEDUDE please.......
