Report: Teams Are Already Lining Up To Bring Peyton Manning Into The Front Office
Peyton Manning has such a comical litany of injuries that it’s amazing he was playing NFL football into 2015. He has a surgically taped-up neck, a problem with his throwing shoulder, maybe-maybe-not broken ribs, a partially torn plantar fascia (apparently, this is worse than a full tear), not to men...
Peyton Manning Needs To Sit
Peyton Manning is racking up injuries almost as fast as interceptions. (Almost.) Two weeks ago, it was his right, throwing shoulder. Last week it was his right foot, the one he’s clearly struggling to push off of and floating weak, underthrown balls. Before yesterday’s terrible 29-13 loss to Kansas ...
The Broncos Defense Is So Good, Even Zombie Peyton Manning Can Win With It
It took the Denver Broncos offense 27 consecutive drives to score a touchdown. That’s the longest streak in the NFL this season, a record far more suited to the diarrheal Detroit Lions or an offensively inept team like the Texans. Certainly not a 6-0 team with the NFL’s all-time leading touchdown pa...
Can The Broncos Figure Out How To Use Peyton Manning?
No battle plan survives contact with the enemy. On paper, it made all the sense in the world for Gary Kubiak to reimagine the Broncos offense, emphasizing the run more, and lining up his quarterback in different positions to keep opponents off-balance. In practice, Peyton Manning doesn’t like taking...
Peyton Manning Is A Rickety Old Man
You knew that already, just from watching his throws float and flutter and seeing it take him nearly the whole of the play clock to pick himself up off the turf. But here’s the lede on ESPN The Magazine’s Peyton Manning feature. Try to read it without wincing:...
Peyton Manning Dropped Some Dad Burns On The Denver Media
Peyton Manning made a surprise appearance on the Denver Broncos’ injury report. The injury, apparently in his back, isn’t anything major, but it was still something Manning anticipated the media would want to question him about. He decided to head off these concerns with some jokes that your dad wil...
Peyton Manning Still Can't Feel His Fingertips
The bad news is that Peyton Manning has no feeling in the fingertips on his throwing hand. The good(?) news is that he hasn’t had feeling in those fingertips for four years now....
What's Going On With The Broncos And Peyton Manning?
So Peyton Manning has dropped off a bit, and at age 39 probably isn’t going to turn that around. But he’s still Peyton Manning, who singlehandedly makes the Broncos a playoff contender and who tons of crappy teams would love to have. Denver may or may not have made an attempt to move him this offsea...
Letterman Guests: "Top Ten Things I've Always Wanted To Say To Dave"
David Letterman’s final Top Ten list featured some of the late night host’s most legendary guests each announcing “something they’ve always wanted to say to Dave.” Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Barbara Walters, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Peyton Manning, Tina Fey, and ...

What Was Wrong With Peyton Manning?
Everyone who watched the Broncos lose to the Colts yesterday could see that something wasn't right with Peyton Manning. He spent the first half air-mailing wobbly deep balls and the second half firing short, non-lethal passes while generally looking like an overmatched old guy. So what the hell was ...
What Do The Broncos Do Now?
Peyton Manning did not look right today. Maybe it was his vague thigh injury, surgically repaired neck, or some other ailment, but his throws were inaccurate and rough. Manning barely completed half of his passes, finishing 26 of 46 with one touchdown and 211 passing yards. The Colts go to the AFC c...
Steve Young Compares Peyton Manning To Obama, Or Something
I think Steve Young is trying to say that for Denver to beat Cincinnati tonight Peyton Manning needs to play well—which, duh—but did he need to use some garbled metaphor about Manning, Obama, and dictatorship to do it? Or is he trying to sneak some political commentary about Obama—go search Twitter ...
Credit The Bills' Defense, Because Their Offense Sucks So Hard
The Bills pulled off an upset of sorts yesterday at home, beating the 10-win Packers, 21-13. Buffalo now has its first eight-win season since 2004; the defense should be largely thanked for that....
What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods. The quarterback's comments after Washington's pratfall against Tampa Bay—in which he more or less said football is a team effort—gave everyone the opportunity to take a swing at the already-half-broken piñata. Here's one more bad ta...
The Broncos Had Themselves A Really Bad Day
The following things happened to the Denver Broncos today:...
Stay There, Brock Osweiler; Peyton's Got This
Even in a rout, Peyton Manning's reluctant to lose reps. The old man wants to play; you have to be quicker than that, Brock Osweiler....
Chart: All Of Peyton Manning's Pick-Sixes, By Defender And Distance
Hey, remember that cool chart from last week, visualizing all of Peyton Manning's regular season touchdowns? Well, it missed a few. In belated honor of Peyton's record-setting career throwing touchdowns, here are all the touchdowns he's thrown to the other team. ...
