1. Team execs reportedly seeking Manning's successor

From the A.P., 9-12-11

INDIANAPOLIS -- Bill Polian already is looking for the next Peyton Manning.

The Colts vice chairman told radio listeners Monday night that while the team expects Manning to return from neck surgery this season or next and to play at least several more years in Indianapolis, he's already contemplating who could be the star quarterback's heir.

"Peyton's at the age now where he recognizes and we recognize that his career is in the homestretch," Polian said during his weekly radio show.

"While we fully expect he'll be back and we fully expect he'll be with us next year, it is time that we give the quarterback position some serious consideration. We do that every year. The question is what pick do you use on a quarterback and how do you structure the contract and that sort of thing."

2. Colts over/under was 10 season wins

I managed to grab a half bet on the under last week, splitting it with a friend. He found one joint that was still taking bets when the news broke on Manning, that he might be out longer than expected.

I feel a little bit like a traitor because I bet the Colts over on that prop for years in Manning's heyday.
