Manning Quandry

by lovingmma25 on Jan 12, 2012 3:15 PM CST

Dear CSC friends,

I made a bet with a friend of mine that Peyton Manning would get traded as part of the new GM's plans for the Colts. He believes the Colts will keep Manning and rebuild. If I lose the bet I have to wear a Manning jersey and post a picture of me wearing said jersey on this site & Facebook with a statement that I believe that Manning is the greatest quarterback ever even better than my beloved Drew Brees. I cannot think of a comeback for my friend, shall he lose the bet. Can you help me out?

Not really....since I think you'll lose the bet.

Someone needs to pick up the option on the third piece of the bet….which is say Manning gets either let go or retires due to his nerve never coming back like they had hoped.

-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.

Disagree

The Washington Mannings will take the NFC East next year! (Playoffs get decided in the offseason, right?)

I picked traded or let go. He picked Colt for life. If he retires then the bet is off.

If he retires

he’s technically a Colt for life. Loophole win!

Of course they do

Playoffs get decided in the offseason, right?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present the Lombardi Trophy for XLVI to the Philadelphia Eagles.

13.

In '62, Green Bay's 7th Championship season, the Packers took a 10-0 record into Detroit on Thanksgiving, and lost. In '11 they took a 10-0 record into Detroit on Thanksgiving, and got it right this time.

In '07, the Packers hosted a playoff game against a Giants team that they had defeated during the regular season, and lost. In '11 they host a playoff game against a Giants team that they had defeated during the regular season, and, again, we’re gonna get it right this time!"

Have your friend

Take a picture of him flossing his crack with his Manning Jersey and post it here and wherever else making the comment that a Manning Jersey is not even good enough to wipe Drew’s butt with.

I like Hamburgers!
Uh oh...better put an Asterisk on it.

Have him buried

(hopefully a long long time from now) in a Brees jersey. Show him we take this chit serious!

Have him don a Brees jersey and yell out at work everyday for a week at 2pm, “WHO DAT!!!!”

Depending on where he works that might get him fired!

I’d say keep it along the same lines: If you win, he wears a Brees jersey and posts picture of himself wearing jersey with a statement that Brees is the greatest QB ever. I know, boring…but at least it would be fair.

and he has to be holding 2 replicas of the Lombardi...

because that’s as many as Drew will have at the end of the year, and twice as many as Manning will likely ever get.

by Jimbo03 on Jan 13, 2012 7:27 AM CST up reply actions

Hmmmm.

Borrow someone’s child and take the shot of him holding the baby above his head while wearing the Brees jersey. That’ll hurt a Colts fan’s feelings.

If the Jets had any sense, they'd trade for Manning

Tom Moore is already there and Sanchez is a big baby. I don’t care if some of his teammates feel like taking up for him…I’ve heard it from anonymous quotes, teammates putting their names to quotes, and analysts (who usually have sources).

Plus if they trade him, they could get some draft picks to help rebuild the team around Luck.

Good bet I think they trade Manning for the picks if they are smart

And plenty of teams would give up alot for Peyton
If you win tell him to wear a Andrew Luck Jersy and post a pic on the Colts site with a sign that says

Peyton who

That should be worse then anything you could do I could see an imediate banning

Manning will play next year for the Colts as starter.

The only way he won’t play is if he cannot play because of too much risk of reinjury. If that’s the case, he retires. He will not go elsewhere, he’d rather retire.

I never make a bet I can't payoff...

And I would never pay that one.

Drew Brees....MVS Most Valuable Saint! Who Dat!!!

He should have to wear a pink Brees jersey with a mascara birthmark on his upper right cheek, while performing the “when I say 1, you say 2” chant in the middle of a bunch of preschoolers, and post it on YouTube.

Do the preschoolers have to go out on the playground afterwards and beat the crap out of the other preschool classes in kickball? Or just post a higher Time of Posession on the monkey bars?

This isn't about rules, it's about manners. Now there's no rule that says that I cant come over here and fart on your entree. But I don't do it. Why? Because it's not good manners.
