I'm hopeful this transition gives the Colts a chance to build, with strength and a commitment to excellence. Our best to you in the New Year.Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-26437431788726101632012-01-02T20:41:41.238-08:002012-01-02T20:41:41.238-08:00Tom: Although I certainly am not a good judge of ...Tom: Although I certainly am not a good judge of what makes a successful N.F.L. football team, it became apparent this year that there were significant problems in the front office that were trickling down (actually cascading) onto the field of play. As in baseball and radio (except for a few rare examples), good managers have a shelf life. There are times when change has to come. Although I have always believed and tried to fully embrace the practice of the values and virtures of continuity and loyalty, at my ripe age of 61, I realize now that nothing, absolutely nothing is forever. Your advice to Jim Irsay about transitioning Peyton Manning into a player-coach is a common-sense idea, one that should be fully explored as I believe that even the Mannings (Archie and Peyton) now realize that the years ahead for Peyton will be more fragile as he ages into legendary status. There will be good opportunities for the Polians where they can start with a clean slate. I think Jim Irsay made a very gutsy decision.

As for Wine--yes of course. There was even talk of bringing wine to the point of departure, so it would be there waiting for us at the end of the walk.
