That's what I read in the TimesPic this morning. Much as I
hate the Indy Dolts, that was high class on Manning's part.

No, they wanted to give him 100 Million over 5 years. The 90M contract is the lesser amount.

Bet his agent was unhappy.

Still think its a tad much. If he was serius about wanting to win why not 70 mil?
