Indianapolis Colts quaterback Peyton Manning was named the NFL MVP on Friday for the third time in his Hall-of-Fame bound career.   Manning led the Colts to wins in their last nine games of the regular season.

“It’s been the most rewarding regular season that I’ve been a part of in my 11 years, and I have to believe a lot of the other players and even coaches might feel the same way.”
