The city of Indianapolis, Indian has a great deal to offer visitors as well as residents and regional populations. Just one of these, though definitely one of the most nationally recognized and respected is its National Football League team the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have been a point of pride for Indianapolis from 1984, after a complicated and conflictive move from Baltimore. Tourists who visit the city and stay in one of the Indianapolis luxury hotels may not be Colts fans, though they most likely have a strong respect for the team and perhaps also a fascination.

The team has seen its ups and downs since arriving in Indianapolis and has also produced stars and worked with some of the sports’ great players. Peyton Manning is just one of these, though he is definitely a significant one. Manning was born in New Orleans in 1976 and first gained a high recognition in college while playing for the Tennessee Volunteers. He was picked up by the Colts in the first round of the 1998 draft and has played for this team since then. It was beyond doubt one of the wisest or luckiest moves the Colts have made as Peyton Manning is often considered by valid sources to be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to have played.

Manning has achieved numerous distinctions and honors during his career and stands out among others in many of his statistics. Some of the records he holds include maintaining consecutive seasons with over four thousand yards in passing and also has the greatest number of seasons with consecutively passing over four thousand yards.
