It’s 12:41 AM…cut me some slack.
Via Johnny O, Manning makes mincemeat

WHAT WE DON’T KNOW . . .
1. Can the Colts run? To be fair, it’s hard to find much to question about the Colts right now. But although the running game has been effective at times this season, it hasn’t been as productive as the Colts might like. On Sunday, the Colts rushed for 58 yards on 23 carries. The Titans are a quality rushing team, and thus far, Colts have rushed well enough to allow Manning to function in the play-action passing game. That’s all the Colts need from their running game, but part of the focus during the bye week likely will be focusing on this area.
Aaron Schatz, the voice of reason
Aaron Schatz: Collinsworth and Michaels say that Peyton Manning needs to win another Super Bowl to be in the conversation for best quarterback of all-time with Montana, Unitas, Marino, Elway, Favre… Um, guys? Marino never won a Super Bowl. Favre only won once. Peyton could be hit by a bus tomorrow and he would be in the conversation.
• One last note: In the book, I also pass along some of my greatest hits from past columns. Like this gem from my coverage on the day of the 1999 draft:
Indianapolis will rue the day it bypassed Ricky Williams for Edgerrin James. This is a dark day for the Colts franchise.
And that sort of peerless analysis is why I make the big bucks.
