It's sad to see the end of Peyton Manning's 208 consecutive starts streak—the last time someone else started for the Colts, Bill Clinton was still in office, and the nation had yet to find out who Monica Lewinsky was. But if the streak has to end, then at least it means that Rick Reilly will have to come over to your house and eat things stuck in your carpet.
The Best Thing About Peyton Manning Not Playing In Week 1
↵From ESPN last week:
↵↵Peyton Manning will keep his streak alive. If you think he’s going to miss a start because of a neck problem, you’ve been chugging paint thinner. This guy hasn’t missed a start since 1994 at Tennessee. Do you know how long ago it was when Manning didn’t start for the Colts? Google was two days old. Kim Kardashian was 17. Russell Crowe was skinny! If Manning doesn’t start Game 1, I will come to your house and eat things that are stuck in your carpet.
↵↵Every cloud has a silver lining, you guys.
