A month before the NFL season, Irsay led us all to believe that Manning was fine, and although his week 1 status was in doubt, his star QB fully expected to take the field. What is the significance of this hearsay bologna?

Fact is, I was the bigshot who decided to silence the naysayers, and spend a whopping $32 of fake money to draft Manning as my fantasy football quarterback. I was jacked up. Ensuing the pick, you can hear me say things like ”Steal!” and “what great value.” I argued with friends that a great like Manning would play no matter what.

As a side note, a $32 buy on Peyton Manning would be excellent value if he takes the field. Michael Vick doubled that price, and Manning went along the lines of an average NFL QB price. So of course I was on my high horse.

Here I sit with a record of 0-3. I am in 14th place out of 14 teams. The boo birds wake me up every morning. My co-owner did not want to draft Manning, and I overruled him. He is pissed. To say the least, my organization is in shambles.

My problem lies with Jim Irsay. He is like your shady college girlfriend, keeping you interested while she holds off bad news. Jim is using Twitter no less as his source of manipulation. Check out these tweets:

“I didn’t say Peyton out 4season FOR SURE,keeping him on ActiveRoster n taking it month by month/Outside chance of return n December possible” (9/26)

“Peyton ain’t ridin’ in on no white horse! Are guys r ready,but is The 12th man? I’m challenging The 12th Man’s manhood! R u tough enough?” (9/18)
