When that silly woman was asking him if he was coming back, I half expected him to say, “Are you crazy? Did you even see me out there? It was all I could do to stand up and throw as many completions as I did interceptions.”
I wish he’d given more credit to the defense instead of just the generic, it was the whole team remark.
Because the defense totally won that game for Denver.
he will retire, he can say it after savoring the win.
I sat up straight the minute I read your comment.
Peyton is going to retire. He just didn’t want to steal the spotlight from the rest of the team.
Just wasn’t the right time to announce it.
Exactly. Don't wind up looking pathetic like Johnny U. did with the Chargers.
I think the networks are falling all over each other to sign Peyton as an analyst.
Peyton was more concerned about getting that Budweiser plug in, because I’m sure they paid him a lot of money for it.
No kidding. When my regular walking schedule is interrupted, if just for a day or two, I feel it the next day after a walk. I call it "needing 50 paces to become ambulatory." After that, I'm ok.
I'll be 62 in three months. I need to step it up, as I will celebrate my birthday with a 16 mile walk along my favorite trail (Campion Trail in Irving).
I think that was Otto who wore 00. I think he said “In a second” when asked if he would do it all again.
I’m not a Broncos fan but Peyton got his start here in Indy and he did Right by us. I was sorry to see him go, but given his injuries and subsequent surgery, I understood the business decision iIrsay had to make.
I’m glad he won and would like to see him go out on top.
Classy guy.
There is a rumor floating around that he will sign a ceremonial contract with Indianapolis and retire a Colt. Would be kind of cool, I suppose.
Irsay doesn’t deserve Manning to be Colt. He broke all those records as a Bronco. Elway was willing to build a team around him. Irsay not so much.
Irsay built a team around him for over a decade. After the neck surgery season Irsay was also smart enough to know it was time for a change, they needed to build for the future. Meanwhile Denver was in disarray and took a shot, and Elway didn’t really build a team around him until they got killed in the SB. But Elway probably isn’t going to keep Manning if he decides to stay, they need to build for the future, most of that defense is hitting free agency, and the team has better things to spend $19 million on than a QB who hands the ball off 2/3 of the time.
Actually, Peyton and Brett were tied before the game. Now Peyton has 1 game up on him.
It could have been Otto. And, I believe your quote is correct. So much pain, yet he would do it again, in a second.
Re you 16 mile walk - good for you. One of my friends gave me a block of wood for Christmas complete with instructions: Place on floor and walk around all four sides. Then you can say you walked around the block.
At age 76 it suits me fine and was the perfect gift. Orthopod keeps talking about knee replacements which I refuse. Going out with what God sent me in with.
The SuperBowl Half-time show was a tribute to Black Power, however, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panthers, who succeeded about as well as the Carolina Panthers. Beyonce’s fake cartridge belt may have contained a few actual cartridges, minus their primers. The large X that the 50 black women in paramilitary uniforms and black berets formed, of course, honored Malcolm X, the racist white-hater. Was the conventional US media silent on this? Then go read the British press!
