What is it with Hall of Fame quarterbacks in the NFL? It seems that they hardly ever get to end their careers how they'd like, even if they have been some of the most popular and proficient players in the most popular league in America for over a decade. Peyton Manning's release from the Colts today is just another in the long line of QB's who have unceremoniously left the teams that they have called home thier whole career. Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana, Brett Favre all found new teams. Troy Aikman suffered injury and couldn't continue. And hell, even Drew Brees is struggling to get a contract from the Saints. It will be interesting to see where Peyton ends up. My money is on Dan Snyder's money in Washington.
