That makes zero sense. Peyton is Denver now, and has been for years. He lives there with his family and works with the Broncos organization. Why would he help the opposing AFC team that dumped him? I don't believe any of that stuff. The Peyton obsession is weird within the Colts fanbase.

In no particular order:

- Peyton may know him from his passing camp.
- Peyton is still involved with the childrens hospital that has his name indy.
- Peyton showed up when they stuck a huge statue in front of the house he built in Indy, Lucas Oil Stadium. He and Irsay have a good relationship.

Manning is a realist. He knew the Colts had to let him go and start over. Jim Irsay is a players owner. Is there one example of Irsay putting the screws to a player, who showed up and played hard?

Peyton didnt get kicked to the curb, he got released and allowed to find the place HE wanted to join.
