By the 2008 football season the Indianapolis Colts may be playing in a state-of-the art, retractable-roof stadium now under construction in downtown Indianapolis. The $675 million facility, to be named Lucas Oil Stadium, will also be used for non-Colts events such as NCAA basketball tornament play.

Peyton wins the Manning Bowl

Relief that the much-hyped battle of the brothers was over, and pride in the way they handled it. No gloating, no giddy postgame interviews, no big scene as the two met when it was over.

“I told him I loved him,” Peyton said after the Indianapolis Colts outlasted Eli and the New York Giants 26-21 on Sunday night.

Brothers in Arms
He cursed.
It was the Manning kid. No, not Peyton. You might expect it from Peyton. We’ve all seen him yelling at the line of scrimmage, jawing at his teammates, calling his old kicker an “idiot,” letting his mouth get the better of him after the Colts’ loss to the Steelers in the AFC divisional playoffs last January.
