Why Does Andy Reid Still Have a Job?
The Indianapolis Colts announced the firing of head coach Jim Caldwell yesterday in light of a 2-14 record, minus the talents of Peyton Manning, who has been out all season due to neck surgery.

Wow. Never mind suggesting what an emotionally draining season 2011 has been for the Indianapolis Colts. The last two days have been taxing enough.
