by Steve Painter Allow me to make one thing very clear: You can't replace Jeter. How would you? He's one of the greatest of all time. You can't just get the scouts on the phone and say, "Get me another Jeter." Impossible. Doesn't work that way.

What's next for Peyton Mannin? Photo credit Fox Sports  by Brad Barrett  After a record breaking season, a fifth MVP, and a trip to the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning could be walking out of the game. As we saw on Sunday, Manning couldn't get the job done in the 48th Super Bowl. The leagues’ best defense held one of the best offenses of all time to only eight points. To me that sounds pretty embarrassing, but to Peyton Manning, not so much.
