On this site alone we have reported no less than 3 new suitors that quite possibly could be Manning's next team. Some call us speculators with a whimsical and careless approach to journalism, but those people also watch The Big Bang Theory and probably think Bill Plaschke and Stephen A. Smith are the two most talented journalists of the 21st century. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/peyton-manning-i-have-no-plans-to-retire/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/video-another-crappy-kobe-commercial-kobesystem/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/video-another-crappy-kobe-commercial-kobesystem/#comments Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:23:55 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860461 Nevermind that this promo video only flirts with humor, and never really makes any sense, I can't figure out if Kobe is just a terrible actor, or he just really lacks the self-confidence needed to carry a self-promotional commercial like LeBron or Jordan.

Since everyone knows the Jets have been at home for over a month, and wouldn't be dumb enough to be seen hanging around the Super Bowl, it looks as though Mother Nature is to blame for organizers being forced to shut down the NFL Experience in downtown Indy today.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:20:29 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860431 KMBC in Missouri is reporting that when a fire broke out in a Village of Loch Lloyd, MO home late Thursday night, Kansas City Chiefs starting QB ran to his neighbor's front door and began banging on the house to alert his neighbor of the fire.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/feed/ 6 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/cardinals-execs-meeting-with-peyton-mannings-agent/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/cardinals-execs-meeting-with-peyton-mannings-agent/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:48:38 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860420 No one has come right out and said it, but Peyton Manning has thrown his last football in a Colts jersey.
