Today, a reminiscent Jim Irsay and a grateful but hopeful towards the future Peyton Manning, split what from has been a dominant decade and a half of football for the Indianapolis Colts this afternoon in a press conference where both owner and quarterback seemed to get a little choked up.
While many sports analysts saw the sad ending of a legendary era, I saw Step One completed in the #Pray4Pey campaign, a campaign (started on Twitter) that I have designed to help bring the living legend quarterback to the Kansas City Chiefs. And while Manning said "nothing lasts forever," I tend to disagree. Lombardi trophies last forever, and that's exactly what a healthy (or 75% healthy) Peyton Manning can bring to the already rising Chiefs.
As Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star said to ESPN today, Manning would be that final piece to "put them over the top." Sam Mellinger, also of the Kansas City Star, said that the Chiefs "must do everything to get Manning."
While it's ultimately Manning's decision, Step One has now officially been complete. Step Two - Peyton meets with the Chiefs - should be right around the corner.
