Deadspin: Peyton Manning

Finally, Peyton Manning's Face In Every NFL Logo

Barry Petchesky — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:35:06 EST

What happens when the famous Manningface falls into the hands of a graphic designer? Every single NFL team logo (plus some alternates) gets a makeover to incorporate Peyton Manning's rectangular head. It started at Something Awful, but the guy who created them has assembled them all in one place for your viewing pleasure/horror. Well done, David. Now can we get them with Terrell Suggs's gums?

Jack Dickey — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:59:10 EST

As you would have expected, I've been working the phones all afternoon trying to confirm Rob Lowe's bombshell report that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning will retire today. But Lowe's scoop blindsided the NFL media, so we decided against mining traditional sources for news. We went to the people who would really know—other members of the Brat Pack. More »

Peyton Manning On Ole Miss Coaching Job Rumors: "Tell Them I'm 0-10 As An Assistant For Indianapolis”

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:10:00 EST

Ole Miss fired head football coach Houston Nutt last week in the midst of his fourth season with the Rebels. He'll finish out the year in Oxford—his 2-8 squad hosts LSU this Saturday—but the search for his replacement is underway. And just a week in, it's already been suggested that Mississippi hire Peyton Manning, who's been on the sideline for Indy's 0-10 season as he recovers from neck surgery. More »

The Sunday Night Football Crew Mentioned Peyton Manning 26 Times: A Compilation

Conor Hastings — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 08:30:06 EDT

The Steelers beat the Colts on a field goal in the waning moments last night, and one would think that in such a surprisingly close game, NBC's focus would remain on the field. One would be wrong. All evening, Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels would talk about the injured Peyton Manning, take a breath, and then talk about the injured Peyton Manning some more. I counted 26 mentions of Manning in all during the broadcast: 13 for Collinsworth (of course), nine for Michaels, and four for sideline reporter Michele Tafoya. More »

I Feel Bad About Peyton Manning's Neck

Tom Scocca — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:03:17 EDT

This Can't Be Good: Peyton Manning Reportedly Had Additional Neck Surgery Today

Dom Cosentino — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:45:00 EDT

So now, the day after it was announced that Peyton Manning's streak of consecutive starts would end at 208, Chris Mortensen is reporting that Manning had "cervical neck fusion" surgery this morning. Mortensen also tweeted that the procedure has a recovery period of a minimum of two-to-three months. All of which means the Colts' troubles—to say nothing of Manning's—are much worse than anyone initially imagined. More »

Tommy Craggs — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:30:47 EDT

Rick Reilly, Aug. 30: "Peyton Manning will keep his streak alive. If you think he's going to miss a start because of a neck problem, you've been chugging paint thinner. This guy hasn't missed a start since 1994 at Tennessee. Do you know how long ago it was when Manning didn't start for the Colts? Google was two days old. Kim Kardashian was 17. Russell Crowe was skinny! If Manning doesn't start Game 1, I will come to your house and eat things that are stuck in your carpet." [ESPN; related; H/T Greg] More »

...And probably many more: "As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday's game versus Houston will likely be doubtful... As was stated at the outset, it serves no useful purpose to speculate about hypothetical outcomes."
