What's the Indy Colts S'portin'??

Sometimes we never really give the players any support other then cheering for them when they make a good play. We tend to forget the really important things that they do. Yeah we love the game. I know I do, because I love excitement and the Colts had me on the edge of my seat the entire game, Sunday. Let's just say that the players have more intentions other then winning a football game. Let's see what they are doing these days and have a closer look into their purpose.

How 'bout one of the best, if not the best NFL quarterback of all time? Peyton Manning has the highest passer rating as of 2004 and is 8 time pro bowl quarterback. Not to mention, he was also the Super Bowl MVP player in Super Bowl XLI. Yes, he is a great quarterback so enough with the bragging.

Let's have a look at what he does when he isn't on the field. The PeyBack Foundation was founded in 1999. It helps with the struggling youth to promote future success. This foundation focuses on the youth in three states. Those states include Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana. The PeyBack Foundation has donated over $900,000 to youth organizations in these states since 1999. There are several other things that the foundation contributes to.
