Colts final season in Indy?INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy wanted to reflect on their opening-day victory and focus on their next game.\nInstead, football took a back seat Monday to rumors that the Colts could be playing their final season in Indianapolis -- even as they prepare for their home opener Sunday against Miami.\n"I'm sure a lot of the rookies have no idea what anyone's talking about," said Manning, the Colts' two-time Pro Bowl quarterback. "I read the papers like everyone. I hope it doesn't become a distraction."\nThe Colts and city officials both denied a report from ESPN's Chris Mortensen, who said during Sunday's "NFL Countdown" show that the Colts were close to leaving Indianapolis because of their financial situation.\nTeam officials have said the Colts rank in the bottom third of the league in revenue, and that they are seeking ways to improve their lot. One possibility is building a new stadium.\nThe Colts already have conducted a study to determine how much fans would pay and what kind of stadium they would like. The team has not released those results.
