Best Tweets from Super Bowl 50

There’s a saying that not only is the Super Bowl the culmination of the NFL’s season, but it’s also “Twitter’s Super Bowl.” A time when fans and viewer come together on social media to share their hilarious takes on the big game. Looking forward to Super Bowl LI in Houston, here are some of the best tweets from Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco.

The Twitterverse began with predictions…well, somewhat.

Prediction: Panthers taking Super Bowl 50 unless the Broncos come out on top.

Let's call Super Bowl Sunday what it is:

Thanksgiving With People You Like. #SB50

But the real money came from roasting the always anticipated Super Bowl commercials.

So can you buy a puppymonkeybaby or was that a joke

The only thing keeping Peyton Manning from dabbing right now is his long history of neck injuries.

Andrew Luck Book Club

The Indianapolis Colts have been notorious for their dorky quarterbacks. This most recent announcement might trump them all.

Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was known for his studying of the game, and his quirkiness of the field. Current Colts QB Andrew Luck appears to be no different.

This isn’t news for Colts fans, as Luck has always shined away from the spotlight. It is a well known fact that Luck still has a flip phone and bikes around the city of Indianapolis, despite his career earnings and fame.

And while other quarterbacks quarrel with the front offices over contract disputes, create rumors and controversy around their social media accounts and revel in the spotlight, the young Colts QB is also making a name for himself, in a very different way.

The Andrew Luck Book Club was created in April, featuring some of Luck’s favorite books, centering around a social campaign to help promote better reading. It’s as easy as buying the book, reading it, and sharing your thoughts on social media with the hashtag #ALBookClub.

Winners & Losers: Free Agency Edition

One week into the NFL’s free agency period, and the biggest names have already found their new (or returned) home. We take a look at the early winners and losers of the 2016 NFL Free Agency period.

Winners: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars struck early in free agency, upgrading their defense by adding Super Bowl champion defensive lineman Malik Jackson and cornerback Prince Amukamara. But Jacksonville also upgraded their offense by creating a two-back field, signing running back Chris Ivory from the New York Jets to pair up with second-year RB T.J. Yeldon.

As the Jaguars chase both the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans in the AFC South, it’s clear Jacksonville has a goal to win the division now, instead of later.

Winners: Houston Texans

Another AFC South team emerges as an early free agency winner. The Houston Texans addressed their seemingly forever-need at the quarterback position by signing former Denver Broncos QB Brock Osweiler to a $72 million contract with $37 million guaranteed. The Texans also upgraded the running back position following the release of Arian Foster, by signing former Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller to a four-year, $26 million deal.

Along with the Jaguars, the Texans look to not only purchase these upgrades, but create a base of consistency within the organization at the quarterback and running back position, following a constant carousel of players at QB and the oft-sidelining of RBs.

Losers: Denver Broncos

Not often does a Super Bowl champion head into an offseason with so much uncertainty. But that is where the Denver Broncos find themselves heading into the 2016-17 regular season.

Two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Peyton Manning has ridden off into retirement. The promising backup, Brock Osweiler, bolted for the aforementioned Houston Texans. Linebacker Danny Trevathan signed with the Chicago Bears, and as previously mentioned, defensive lineman Malik Jackson left for Jacksonville. Running back C.J. Anderson’s status with the team is also in question, as the restricted free agent has reportedly received offers from both the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears.

Although trading for quarterback Mark Sanchez from the Philadelphia Eagles, it remains to be seen what Denver’s plans for the quarterback position are clearly. Rumored interest in San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick has surfaced, but Denver isn’t the only team inquiring about the quarterback’s talents.

This doesn’t necessarily spell disaster for the Broncos, as they were able to keep a large part of their talented defense in tact. But uncertainty at the quarterback position is what kills teams in a league that thrives on passing.

Check out what you missed at the 2016 Players Tailgate in San Francisco, and get ready for the 2016 regular season by looking at our Colts VIP Tailgates that happen every Sunday before home games.

Manning Memories: Part III

In Part III of Bullseye Event Group’s Manning Memories series, we take a look at Peyton Manning’s top three moments as a member of the Indianapolis Colts: breaking an “unbreakable” record, completing an epic comeback, and a world championship.

3) Single-season passing touchdowns record

In 2004 against the San Diego Chargers, Peyton Manning threw a touchdown pass over the middle to Brandon Stokely to record his 49th touchdown pass of the regular season, breaking Dan Marino’s longstanding record of 48. Relive the moment:

For those of you who want to relive all 49 touchdowns of Manning’s record breaking year, you can find that video here.

2) Super Bowl XLI victory over Chicago Bears

While most would argue that Manning’s Super Bowl XLI victory might be the greatest moment in Indianapolis Colts history, The Colt’s 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears in February of 2007 might be considered more of a 1A type option.

The Colts’ first world championship came on February 4, 2007 as the Colts defeated the NFC Champion Chicago Bears 29-17. Manning ended the game with 247 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and collected his first Super Bowl MVP trophy. Relive the Super Bowl XLI highlights by clicking here.

1) 2006 AFC Championship Game

Considered by many to be the “Super Bowl” for Indianapolis in the 2006 season, the Indianapolis Colts completed a comeback of epic proportions against their nemesis, the New England Patriots, to advance to Super Bowl XLI and their eventual first world championship.

Trailing 21-3 at half time, it seemed all but a foregone conclusion that the New England Patriots would be headed for yet another AFC Championship victory over the Colts. But in the second half, Manning and the Colts offense led an all-out attack on the Patriots defense, capping off the comeback with a Joseph Addai run at the goal line to put the Colts ahead 38-34, and the eventual victory.

Manning ended the AFC Championship with 349 yards and one touchdown, but the biggest relief of Manning’s career; finally beating the New England Patriots in a clutch performance.

It’s no surprise that with all of these great memories in Indianapolis, Manning will be heading back for a farewell press conference with the Colts sometime in the near future. The son of a basketball town was able to turn Indianapolis into a city of “football evangelists,” as he put it. And for that, we speak for all of Indianapolis when we say “thank you, Peyton,” for fourteen magical years in the circle city.

Manning Memories: Part II

Following Peyton Manning’s farewell to the NFL press conference, Bullseye reviews Manning’s top 10 moment in Indianapolis. Part II of that series counts down numbers 6-4.

6) 4th-and-2 game vs. New England Patriots

In November of 2009, the Colts and Patriots squared off once again at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was in this game that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick showed perhaps the most reverence for Peyton Manning, opting to go for it on 4th-and-2 late in the game with a small lead, as opposed to punting and giving Manning and the Colts a game-winning drive opportunity.

Brady’s pass to Kevin Faulk was caught right at the first down marker, but officials ultimately ruled Faulk short, leaving Manning with a short field for the eventual game-winning touchdown in the final minute to receiver Reggie Wayne.

5) First playoff victory

Peyton’s first playoff victory came in the 2003 wild-card matchup with…guess who, the Denver Broncos.

Manning was brilliant in the 41-10 victory over Denver, recording 377 yards and five TDs against the Broncos defense, which earned Manning his first ever perfect passer rating of 158.3.

4) Monday Night Miracle vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Whenever Colts fans think of Peyton Manning’s numerous comebacks as an Indianapolis Colt, one of the first that comes to mind is the Monday Night Miracle in Tampa Bay on head coach Tony Dungy’s birthday.
