The Colts clinched every conceivable postseason advantage with Sunday's win. They guaranteed themselves a first-round bye and the luxury of never having to leave the noise factory that is the RCA Dome during the playoffs. As usual, center Jeff Saturday reached into a small wooden cigar case and handed out Arturo Fuente mini-stogies to the other linemen. He even reached out to Manning.
"Eighteen, you want a shorty?" he asked his quarterback, choosing jersey number over first name.
"Yeah," said Manning.
Saturday tossed a cigar. Manning looked at it and cracked wise.
"Same size as your arms," he said.
"Freakin' punk," said Saturday. "Give me my cigar back."
