    Jeff Saturday spent 13 of his 14 years in the NFL as center for the Indianapolis Colts, and for 12 of those years he regularly snapped the ball to Peyton Manning.

    Why not one last time for old time's sake, too?

    On Sunday during the Pro Bowl, Saturday, who plays for the NFC, played center for the AFC on one play to snap the ball to Manning for the final time before he retires.

    Saturday, who played this season with the Green Bay Packers, announced during the week that the Pro Bowl would be his final game.

    Aside from the fact that the NFL wants these players to take the game seriously yet allowed this to happen, it was a cool gesture and surely a special moment for the former longtime teammates.

    Definitely better than their infamous heated sideline clash during the Colts' 2006 run to winning the Super Bowl.
