As the Indianapolis Colts opened their first offseason minicamp on Friday, we were glad to see the starting quarterback Peyton Manning also participate in most parts of the workouts. It seems the neck problem is no longer bothering him and the leading role of Colts was ready to start a new wonderful season.
“I’m out here throwing and I’ll no longer have to get the treatment that I’ve been getting for the last four years. It’s a great relief,” Manning said Friday, assuring his fans that there is nothing to worry about his neck. “All my symptoms and issues that I’ve been dealing with for the last four years have subsided.”
Returning of Peyton lit up the hopes of Colts winning the Super Bowl XLV championship. The team lost the Super Bowl XLIV to the New Orleans Saints in February. Talking about the loss to the former team of his father, Archie Manning, Peyton said that he was grateful for father’s support and felt regretful for the loss. But he promised that he would win the new competition in 2011. He joked that his father had got ready to put on his Archie Manning jersey for celebration of son’s third Super Bowl victory.

Saints beat Colts to win Super Bowl
Four-time MVP quarterback Peyton Manning failed to earn another Super Bowl MVP title after Sunday night’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints. The title was given to the Pro Bowl quarterback in No. 9 Saints jersey, Drew Brees, who led the team to a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. The Pro Bowl quarterback was chosen Super Bowl MVP. And the Saints won three postseason games for the first time- during the previous 42 years they won two postseason games at most. This franchise first championship came 4 1/2 years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season.
The Saints scored 107 points and allowed only 59 while Manning’s mistake caused the Colts to lose their lead during the first half. A pass from Manning turned out to be Tracy Porter’s 74-yeard interception return. He tried to chase but fell awkwardly as the cornerback zipped by. The Saints began celebration while Manning walked to the sideline with deep frustration.
