Starting over: an Indianapolis Colts Franchise
 
Manning in accident, ruins leg



Indianapolis, IN -- Just 2 weeks before the training camp begins, the Indianapolis Colts have received the worst news in Franchise history: Peyton Manning will likely never play again. He was in a car accident this morning driving to the team's facility. Manning's injuries are not life threatening, but the accident snapped his tibia and tore his ACL, in addition to a broken clavicle. These injuries are severe enough that Manning will likely never play again.

The Colts are in a state of shock at this point in time, and have yet to release a statement on the situation. The only reaction from the organization concerning the leagues only 4-time MVP was Bob Irsay's tweet: Peyton in bad accident. On the way to the hospital. Praying for the best.

Stay tuned for more from Indianapolis.

Wayne, Clark, among 5 requesting trade



Indianapolis, IN -- Just a day after losing Peyton Manning for the season and probably his career, the Colts coach Jim Caldwell announced trade demands by 5 high profile Colts: Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Gary Brackett, and Joesph Addai. The players told Caldwell that "they love being Colts, but didn't think they could do it without Peyton. We certainly understand what they are going through and will attempt to grant their wishes. Bill [Polian] and I are going to be talking to several teams about potential trades later this evening."

This is certainly bad news for the Colts, who can only hope to get quality compensation for these great players. Clark, Wayne, and Freeney have 11 Pro Bowls between them. Freeney has the 2nd most sacks (84.0) in the NFL since being drafted in 2003. Brackett has been a defensive captain since 2006. While losing any one of these players would be a huge blow to the Colts, losing them all would be catastrophic.

I like how this is going, bringing a great team down with Manning and his stars gone

Great idea. Can't wait to see the new QB of the Colts.
