Jeff Saturday is a man's man... Eli Manning likes the idea of Peyton in NY... Peyton likes Indianapolis... and the Colts are "kidding themselves"...

FROM THE SADDLE (official team news)

An ode to the the man, the myth, the blogger hatin' legend -- Jeff Saturday.
New GM Ryan Grigson has kept in touch with his college roots.

GREEN APPLES AND ROAD APPLES (media analysis)

Ryan Grigson has faced challenges before. What about 2-14 challenges?
If Caldwell is to actually be retained, Jim Irsay and the Colts "are kidding themselves."
"It would be fun," Eli Manning said regarding the possibility of Peyton Manning joining the Jets.
The Colts abrupt fall from grace: In pictures and headlines.

Mike Chappell tells Colts fans about a "feeling" that they likely didn't want to hear.
"Peyton kind of likes his Indy roots," says Archie Manning. No kiddin', Arch?!
Vikings are interested in Colts secondary coach, Alan Williams, according to Jason La Canfora.
Adam Schefter talks about Peyton Manning's future. Yeah...

APPLE PIE (SB Nation goodies)

We could see Eli Manning v. Tom Brady in the house that Peyton built. Ugh. Go Giants.

We could be seeing a lot more of this face. *slams head on table*

I hope you prove the doubters wrong Jimmy C…

Mark Olson - January 17, 2012 reply

this is not Albert Einstein rocket science

FIRE a bad head coach!!!!

OBGYNOSUPREME - January 17, 2012 reply

Ironic

Mentioning Einstein and Caldwell in the same post.

One is a master of time and space, and the other is Jim Caldwell.

Guy LeDouche - January 17, 2012 reply

You could have killed with that last line

If I were against JC, I would have put:

One is a master of time and space, and the other is a complete waste of time and space

Mark Olson - January 17, 2012 reply

Hahaha

I like that. Of course, IF you were against JC.

Guy LeDouche - January 17, 2012 reply

Thought of another ending

…the other mismanages time and takes up too much space

Mark Olson - January 17, 2012 reply

How is retaining Caldwell moving in a new direction? FIRE HIM, JIMMY!!!

ColtsGM9001 - January 17, 2012 reply

It isn't

Firing Bill Polian is a new direction. Polian was clearly the head of this franchise the last 13 years. The head just got chopped off.

Mark Olson - January 17, 2012 reply

So what are we left with?

…a chicken running around aimlessly (as in Jim Caldwell)?

Ayrshire - January 17, 2012 reply

Or a man who was once restricted

is now a man empowered to do what he was originally meant to do. It definitely could go the way of the ‘chicken running around aimlessly’, but from what I hear ppl around the league say about Caldwell, he has the right stuff to be a great coach…

Mark Olson - January 17, 2012 reply

I seriously doubt that, from what I've seen.

I just wish there was a way to revoke his time-out calling privileges.

Ayrshire - January 17, 2012 reply

I hope Vikings hire Alan Williams

Ty46 - January 17, 2012 reply

The only reason Caldwell is staying.

Is because Peyton Manning will be the starting QB of the Colts next year.

VERNON HOWELL - January 17, 2012 via Android app reply

Then I rather have Manning leave if that’s the case because we’ll be going nowhere with Dead Eyes as the coach. Coaching matters in this league especially the postseason.
