After the Indianapolis Colts announced today that 14-year veteran Peyton Manning would be released, Gov. Mitch Daniels issued the following statement:
Peyton is as great a citizen as he is a quarterback. He's contributed in ways people can see, like his children's hospital, but he has also done so many things that he insists no one know about. There have been countless times that he has called me when we've had some kind of need and said, 'Governor, I want to help,' and he'll do everything but associate his name with it. We are going to miss seeing number 18 under center for the Colts, but I am happy to hear he will continue to call Indianapolis his home. It's not a happy day.
