He’s right on the money. I’ve been saying this exact thing for a year now.
More and more, you sense the fight with the owners has radicalized Manning, or at least stiffened his union resolve. When the owners are refusing to open their books, when they’re fighting tooth and nail for another billion dollars off the top of total revenues, players like Manning should be in no mood to play nicey-nice with management.
It wouldn’t make a difference.
The Colts already win 12 games virtually every season, despite that giant millstone of Manning’s contract hanging around their necks. Suddenly, Manning is going to take $5 million a year less and start winning those playoff games? Another $5 million gets you, um . . . not much.
He was also named a top 10 columnist. The truth is that other than his awful Manning piece a few weeks ago, he’s had a solid year.
