		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Skylar Diggins could be a supermodel. Actually, she could be a lot of things.

Choosing to go another direction, Manning&#8217;s longtime employer, the Indianapolis Colts, chose to let their two-time MVP quarterback go. Essentially, Manning entered 2012 with a [...]]]></description>
