Peyton Manning was here, and we weren't even ready


We'll level with you, it can be rough being a Colts fan in LA. The Colts aren't like the Patriots, the Bears, the Steelers or the Giants. We have no place out here where we can gather with fellow Horse fans and rejoice in their victory (well, 75 percent of the time). Hell, the only time last year we were rooting alongside more than just the girlfriend at a bar was when we were cheering on the Patriots against the Chargers. Yes, we felt dirty and no, we don't want to discuss it. Although, if that guy with the thunderbolt shaved into his head is reading this, we totally jinxed you, you saucy bitch.

That's why it disheartens us to read that Peyton Manning was in LA yesterday filming a commercial and he made time - or asked for, what's the difference? - to work out with USC QB John David Booty and his receivers. What, no time for us? Come on, P! He even gave Booty some tips on his footwork and throwing motion. Is it going to make Booty a top-10 pick? Not likely, we see Booty as more of a Brady Quinn than a Carson Palmer. He doesn't seem to have that "it" quality that great college QBs who become solid pros do. But the help can't hurt. And we thought Joey Harrington was going to be the next Joe Montana so what the fuck do we know?

We know this: Manning thinks he has the two best receivers in the NFL. We tend to agree with him, but we wouldn't kick Steve Smith or Chad Johnson outta bed for crossing goallines.
