Peyton Manning was earning about $15.8 million in 2010. In 2011, he was already earning $18.96 million playing for the Indianapolis Colts. In 2011, Peyton Manning is considered the third highest paid quarterback in the NFL. The Colt executives believe that he would still be able to play at the level he played in 2010 for four more years. In this case, He will be earning $22.75 million in 2012, $27.26 million in 2013 and $32.7 million in 2014.

Critics believed that Manning is in a win-win situation here but he may put his health on the line by playing rigorously for four more years as if he did not get older. In considering his 12-year contract with the Colts, he did not miss a single football game in his contract.

If Manning demands a higher salary, for instance $30 million, he will be fully justified because considering the franchise scenario, he will be earning about $39.24 million in 2015 and another $47 million in 2016. Manning, who will be 40 at that time was still worth all of the money and salary the Colt's will be giving him. By this time, he has earned $180 million in 6 years. With all his cash laying around, Peyton has plenty to spend on his hobby - motorcycles. He has many of them, and with projected earnings, he will have no problem to pay for the motorcycle parts as well...

The catcher receives the ball hit by the batter and returns to the pitcher. If the batter hits the ball and the other team is successful in grabbing the ball before it touches the ground then the batter is deemed out. When the batter runs for the run in between the bases and the pitcher or his team players tags the batter or the base then also he is deemed out. The batter scores successfully by moving around all the bases and reaching home plate without getting out.
