COLTS OFF OF THE LOMBARDI HUNT

The expression, "INDIANAPOLIS 2006 WORLD CHAMPIONS" is but a distant memory, and the Indianapolis Colts hoisting another Super Bowl trophy is not something likely to occur anytime soon.

Yup, the Indianapolis Colts have officially fallen off of the list of potential Lombardi candidates with the imminent departure of "future hall-of-famer" and "4-time league MVP" (hurts to say that, huh?) Peyton Manning.  They will obviously be floundering around for the foreseeable future, even if they are about to haul in Andrew Luck with the first overall pick in the draft.  Assuming they grab Luck, and there isn't a compelling reason why they wouldn't, It would be hilarious (if not amusing) if Luck becomes the next big bust like Ryan Leaf or a half dozen other 'sure things' that have gone before him.


Oh and just one more thing.  Whatever team acquires the goose-necked Manning, chances are they aren't going to get a sniff of a championship either.
