Sports Headlines: Peyton Manning, Rafael Nadal And More

Manning or Collins, Colts not sure yet
Peyton Manning has started every single regular season game for the Colts since he was selected as number one overall back at the 1998 draft (a total of 227 games, which includes the playoffs), but today the team is going to decide if the 4-time MVP is able to play the first regular season game on Sunday, or if Kerry Collins will be running the offense. Manning lost all of the preseason, and has been practicing on a limited basis since August 29, which is why it is not clear what the plans of the franchise are concerning the starting quarterback position.

Nadal vanishes during press conference
Even though you might think some athletes posses super human powers, the reality is that they all have their flaws and sometimes they are even victims of cramps! And this is exactly what happened to Rafael Nadal during the press conference he held after his third round victory at the US Open, as the Spaniard started to feel bad and suddenly ended up in the floor as he could not take the pain. But this is not unusual for tennis players, as stars like Andy Roddick considers cramps as something normal by saying “Not to put a dampener on the story, which I know you guys think is really big, but people cramp after matches when you’re cold. It’s just something that happens.” He finished.

Peyton signs with Saints until 2015
Soon after the Saints hired Sean Peyton back in 2006, the new coach went on to recruiting Drew Brees, and together they have given the city of New Orleans its best sporting glories, and that is probably the reason why the franchise decided to extend Peyton’s contract until 2015, “Our goal is to continue to build a tradition of winning here in New Orleans and Sean represents that tradition,” said team owner Tom Benson about the renewal.

Sabathia is the main man at the Yankees
There is no doubt that everything is going great for the Yankees, as NY’s beloved baseball team is now leading the Al East division, and much of their success has come thanks to CC Sabathia, the pitcher that just won his nineteenth game of the season, allowing him to match the record of Dave Stewart, who won the same number games three seasons in a row at the late eighties.
