I can't believe how Manning is getting treated.

Hope he goes on to win a Superbowl.

Peyton Manning

is handling this much better than Brett Favre did his quandary, I hope the MSM retards (sorry to dis you brethren but we true journalists do not lie) take that into consideration. The Colts don’t want him anymore, but I think he has some great football left in him. If the Dolphins want him, go get him, at least New England’s reign of terror will be over

So long as there are two things on this Earth, New England's reign will never be over.

1. Bill Belichick
2. Cameras

I think you are very wrong.....

….what was Belichick’s record without Brady? It was well under .500. Let’s wait to see what he can do after Brady retires before we anoint him. Remember how everybody considered Shanahan the “Mastermind”, and then Elway retired. Shanny has done nothing since.

Joke butcher.

We are gathered here today to celebrate the short memory of grind_core’s joke that was so heinously taken down by bonaire ;)

Grind_core? I haven't seen him on here in awhile.....

…..I feel like I am missing something here. I think I’m late to this party.

It's me, haha figured most knew by now.
You mean like that awful season of 11-5 with Cassel at the helm?

Sorry Belicheat made Brady, not the other way around.

Hmm, that is an intriguing point.

It makes me wonder about that, too. I’m sure if they could have let Cassel know the defense’s signals just as easily. No wonder they didn’t skip a beat.

What? Because Cassel had one good year?

Do you remember when Elway was out for a couple of games and Sharpe famously said "we are handing Brister the keys to the Ferrari and all we ask is he doesn’t wreck it. Brister won those games by wide margins. That Broncos team was clicking on all cylinders, just like that Pats team was during Cassels run (granted Brister didn’t play as many games). Does that mean Shanahan made Elway? Maybe Bellicheat is that great, but until he does it in the post- Brady era, I’m reserving judgement.

We all know

TD made Shanahan.

And that o-line and zone blocking scheme made TD

its really a chicken or the egg question

Irsay completely restructured his Franchise just so Manning wouldn't want to comeback.

then he could justify cutting him and drafting Luck. It’s sick to me. Manning may be the best QB ever. He’s certainly one of the most intelligent.

I hope he retires and joins the Broncos coaching staff.

I

You and me both.

I bet the players see it, too. And I mean potential free agents. Jim Irsay, you’re doing it wrong.

I love McGahee's comeback to that Raven fan. Epic with a side of awesome!
It was good Zac

but he didn’t really stick up for Tebow enough in my book. No biggie. It was a good one line zinger.

He ended the idiots quip, that was enough.

Tim Tebow will have to answer all those critiques with his play on the field…

Have fun watching the Pro Bowl guys

if that’s your thing, only one game comprising the 2011 season matters that is left and it’s not tonight. I will watch Commissioner Goodell’s 60 Minutes interview though, call me crazy but I actually respect the guy. He sure gets lots of flack for giving us 10 years of labor peace and advocating for HGH testing, which may soon come to pass, what an a-hole…

I will.

I never miss a chance to watch my Broncos.

I too Brad appreciate what the NFL has done, but I'm still pissed that they drug their feet after the SuperBowl with the labor negotiations...

I think that they had plenty of time to get a lot of the heavy issues out of the way and come to an agreement before OTAs were set to start. Taking it right up to the last minute hurt every team that was going through head coaching and staff changes. The 2 teams playing for the crown already had their meat and potatoes ready to serve…

that is true

but Brady’s getting old and the Giants never make the postseason 2 years in a row it seems. Philly will be the team in 2012 everyone thought they’d be in 2011

Hee really deliver de punch line!
No wonder Willis McGahee is so quick to find and get through the holes...He has a very sharp mind and is quick to make decisions.

As McGahee was wired for sound signing autographs during a practice session and Ravens fan directed a shot at Tim Tebow…

McGahee was a good sport, but didn’t hesitate to fire back.

"That’s not nice," he told the fan. "That’s like saying if you had a better kicker, you’d have won."
Imagine the look on the fan's face after.

hahahahaha
