Twitter reaction to Peyton Manning’s departure
Wednesday has been a sad day for Indianapolis Colts fans and Peyton Manning fans in general. Early in the day, Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay came together one last time to publicly cut ties in an official press conference which was aired all over ESPN and the NFL Network. Bits and pieces of the conference will undoubtedly be replayed all week on SportsCenter, but for now here are a few tweets recapping the emotional goodbye.

I would love for Peyton Manning to say, just for fun, "I'm taking my talents to South Beach."

Watching the Peyton Manning coverage it's hard to believe he's not going to be a Colt. Sad day in Indy!
