Jim Irsay has spoken to Peyton Manning and the owner is "upbeat" over the communication he has had with the quarterback. "We've talked a lot this month, probably more than most Februarys, and it's probably not what most people think we talk about," Irsay said. "Very recently, we got into a debate about will Tiger Woods win more majors than Jack Nicklaus or not." Earlier in the week Irsay said he was leaving the door open for Manning to remain with the Colts and that he planned to meet with him within the next week. "Peyton and I have talked and said that certainly by that date or sooner, we'd like to just come to something that makes sense for both of us," Irsay said. "It's a difficult thing, because sometimes circumstances are thrown at you. You take your hands out of the deck that you're dealt and you deal with them."
