Peyton Manning knows that for the Colts to get back to being themselves, he needs to play. cheap jerseys . After missing the entire season because of neck surgery, the Colts franchise quarterback acknowledged Sunday he has one goal. "Ive got to get healthy for me, for the team. Im under contract with the Colts. Thats my job is to get healthy for them," he told reporters after Sundays season-ending 19-13 loss at Jacksonville. "Its been hard not being able to help on the field this year." Manning had neck surgery Sept. 8, the third and most invasive procedure hed had in 19 months. Doctors fused two of Mannings vertebrae together, hoping that would fix a damaged nerve that caused weakness in Mannings throwing arm. With Manning, many expected the Colts to be a Super Bowl contender again. Without him, Indianapolis went through three different quarterbacks, lost its first 13 games and wound up with the No. 1 overall pick in Aprils draft -- the first time theyve had that selection since 1998 when they chose Manning over Ryan Leaf. Now they head into an off-season unlike any other in the Manning era. The Colts (2-14) finished with fewer than three wins for only the second time since moving to Indianapolis in 1984, and fans have been calling for the ouster of team vice chairman Bill Polian, general manager Chris Polian and coach Jim Caldwell. Manning is content to let team owner Jim Irsay make those decisions so he can continue working out, and Irsay wasnt dropping hints about his plans Sunday. "We wanted to win the game but we didnt," Irsay said. "Its Sunday afternoon at 4:15. Thats where we stand and obviously we wanted to come in and get a win. (Maurice) Jones-Drew is a great player and youve got to give him credit, but we wanted to finish with three (wins) in a row. Beyond that I dont have anything else to say right now on anything." The bigger questions involve Manning. Indys franchise quarterback didnt begin throwing to teammates until mid-December. Bill Polian, who watched the throwing session, and running back Joseph Addai, who caught some of the passes, both gave Manning good reviews. Two doctors who have performed fusions on athletes but did not treat Manning recently told The Associated Press that if the fusion was firmly healed, Manning should return to his usually high level of play next season. Dr. Robert Watkins, Mannings surgeon, issued a statement Dec. 1 saying the fusion had achieved "firm fixation." Irsay also must pay a US$28 million bonus to Manning in early March, risk losing him as a free agent or rework the $90-million, five-year deal the two sides signed in July. If Manning is healthy, Irsay has said Manning will remain a Colt -- regardless of the cost. Where is Manning in the rehab process? Bill Polian has said Manning will fail Mondays exit physical, a move that would actually help the Colts because Manning could continue working out at the team facility. Manning cautioned that nobody should read too much into the physical. "I could pass it," Manning said. "Im not sure how all that works. I think part of it is just paperwork. Thats all new to me. Theres a lot of things Ive learned this year. All thats been kind of new to me. Not rehabbing at the facility this off-season was certainly tough. You go to a place rehabbing and the lady next to you is getting her bunions worked on, asking if she should draft (Dallas) Clark on her fantasy team. Hard to rehab and deal with that." But all of those questions will go away if Manning can just get back to playing football. "Ive tried to be here. Ive encouraged guys. I try to give an idea here and there, but the best way for me to help over the years is by playing," Manning said. "Thats what I want, to get back, to be able to play on the field. Thats where my priority is." ------ Associated Press Sports Writer Mark Long in Jacksonville, Fla., contributed to this report. cheap jerseys from china . This is Lillys third trip this season to the DL, which is retroactive to June 5. He has made only five starts, going 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA. He missed the first 19 games while recovering from left shoulder surgery, and also was sidelined for 17 games from April 30 to May 20 with a strain in his right rib cage. cheap jerseys from china . "I see a hockey player who has moxie, who has the ability to step up into the play when needed, he has the ability to play strong defensively, he skates strong, he loves the game," said Oiler assistant coach Steve Smith, who has seen virtually every one of the 34 games Schultz played this season with the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League. http://www.salechinajerseys.com/ . Which version of the team will show up? The Canucks hope it will be the squad that dominated the NHL-leading Chicago Blackhawks recently and not the one that often lurched through a lockout-shortened, 48-game regular season. cheap jerseys . One day after being released by the Calgary Stampeders, the veteran receiver, who has been battling injuries, will visit with Argonauts team doctors on Monday. wholesale nfl jerseys .Y. -- While Jon Bon Jovi is interested in becoming an NFL owner one day, hes not currently pursuing the Buffalo Bills, the New Jersey rockers publicist told The Associated Press on Monday.Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos continued towards his potential return on Friday, taking part in practice drills with light contact. While the 23-year-olds progress had some teammates saying he was looking pretty good, Stamkos offered a more tempered approach to his return. "I dont feel where I need to be in order to play a game yet, but its getting there," he told reporters after practice at the Bell Centre in Montreal. "Its nice to hear that the guys are saying that. Today I was in the corners a little more and getting bumped around (but) by no means was it full contact." Stamkos fractured the tibia in his right leg in a Nov. 11 game against the Boston Bruins and underwent surgery the following day. He returned to practice earlier than expected, leading each days progress to be closely monitored by Lightning fans as well as Canadians. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman named Stamkos to Canadas 25-man roster for the coming Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, but with Canadas first game just two weeks away, the clock is ticking on his hopes to be healthy in time. "You just have to listen to your body," Stamkos said. "Were talking a lot about the Olympics and my goal is to try to be ready for those Games, but your body doesnt lie. If youre doing certainn movements and you feel pain then thats an indicator that maybe its not quite ready. NFL Jerseys Deals. . "It is tough mentally as well, going in there knowing that youre a little hesitant in certain areas. Ive said that before that thats what you dont want so you just try to overcome that as you progress and you take more contact in practice and hopefully that goes away." Stamkos scored 14 goals and 23 points in 17 for the Lightning this season prior to his injury. However, opportunities to get into game action before the Olympics are dwindling for the sniper. The Lightning have four games remaining before the NHL goes on break for the Games with the teams final game coming Feb. 8 against the Detroit Red Wings. While the Brampton, Ontario native wouldnt commit to a timeline, he acknowledged his progress thus far and expressed hope for it to continue over the next two weeks. "It has gotten better," he said. "Theres less and less pain every time I get on the ice but there is still a little discomfort. "Im hoping in the next week and a half, two weeks, that that feels a lot better and I can do certain movements without having that pain or at least with some pain thats manageable. Right now its still a little sharp in certain areas so thats what Im trying to improve." ' ' '
