Colts fans, get ready to feel all warm and fuzzy about Bill Belichick. Peyton Manning says Belichick called him before the Super Bowl to offer encouragement.

Two days before the Super Bowl, Manning received what he called a sincere, well-wish voice mail from Belichick.

"When a head coach from another team, a team we've had a lot of issue with, to take the time to call, I truly appreciated it," Manning said.

Belichick added of Manning, "I've always had a lot of affection for him, other than when we compete against him." I wasn't really expecting to hear the word "affection" coming from Bill Belichick, but it's a statement that shows class.
