Don't get used to it Canton ready for next Manning exhibit
It's only a matter of time before Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is honored with another exhibit at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
His No. 18 jersey is already on display in recognition of his third career game with a perfect 158.3 passer rating in 2003. Still to come is an exhibit to showcase the football Manning threw to Brandon Stokley on Dec. 26 to set the NFL single-season touchdown pass record at 49.
That next exhibit, however, will be temporary. When the Colts' new stadium is built, the ball will be put on display there.
"It will eventually be in the Colts museum," said Joe Horrigan, Pro Football Hall of Fame vice president of communications and exhibits. Horrigan said the football that tied Dan Marino's old record of 48 will stay in Canton.

Room to improve Sorry, Katz
Whoever said women can't play football never saw a team play against the Indianapolis SaberKatz.
Making every offense in the National Women's Football Association look like Peyton Manning and the Colts, the team went 0-8 this year. And it wasn't a pretty 0-8. With losses ranging from 46-0 to 102-0, the SaberKatz were outscored 444-0.
Indiana's other NWFA team, the Indiana Thunder, also failed to win a game, but only allowed 75 points. However, the Thunder played just one game, forfeiting the rest of the season.
