>> this past monday night peyton manning earned his 119th victory with the indianapolis colts and quickly was proclaimed the winningest colt quarterback of all time passing the great johnny you knights' victory and peyton manning always mindful said he did not feel comfortable with comparisons with you knights but was proud to wear the same uniform as a real winner. it raised the debates versus the

nfl of today versus the nfl of you knights, butkus and brown. there is no denying peyton manning is a great player and a future hall of famer and worthy of every accolade. what is still in question is why the annapolis and baltimore colts continue to be linked. it is a disservice to both the city of annapolis and baltimore and the nfl needs to separate the two franchises once and for all. records are clearly made to be broken and not even peyton manning has come close to consecutive games and touchdown pass and if he does it will be his record alone however today we believe the mantle of the the greatest colt of all time is to be shared with an asterisk. peyton manning is the greatest colt in hoosier state but next time you go to a ravens game be sure to salute the greatest baltimore colt of all time.
