Peyton's Place


Move over, Marino. Manning's 21-yard touchdown pass to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Brandon Stokley with 56 seconds to play broke one of the NFL's most honored records and carried the Colts into overtime, where they beat the San Diego Chargers 34-31 to lock up the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Seriously, what a game. My dad and I were at a bar downtown watching. Everyone was jumping up and down and high five-ing each other. Thank God we won the overtime coin toss.

Afterward, my dad and I attended a Colts fundraiser sponsored by Mike Vanderjagt called Kickin' It For Kids. It was a lot of fun--there was food, alcohol, a band, an auction, and tons of casino games. My dad and I played a lot of blackjack. And, I got my picture taken with some of the players (which was fun!). For obvious reasons, everyone was in good spirits. Some of the players did a nice rendition of "Brown Eyed Girl" with the band.

2 That was a GREAT game. I watched the TV report from Vandy's fundraiser and it was hilarious to see him lurk behind the reporter as he waited to be interviewed. Vandy smiled and waved at the camera. Did NOT see you in the background though. Sounds like a lot of fun.

3 Always split aces, too, Kevin.

4 You don't need to remind me twice, Ms. Lawren. In addition to being a bigtime procrastinator at work today, I used to be a dealer on a riverboat casino up north. :-) P.S. -- I'd rather get a pair of 8s than aces.
