Yes I do. According to Harbaugh Kelly said he wasn’t tough enough so he hunted him down and cheap shotted him and said “now who’s not tough”. When replaying what Kelly accually said, “he is going to have to play tougher if the the colts don’t get a better OL”. The implacation was they needed OL help. And Jim Kelly always conducted himself was class, unlike Harbaugh who is a classless peice of TRASH.

Many things point to this but I will start and finish with the fact he started a fight and as per witinesses sucker punched Jim Kelly becasuse he didn’t like something he had said. Jim Kelly has more class in his little finger than harbug has in his body!

Manning fan his whole career.And i say he should of retired and coached Luck to be the best he could be.He chose the money.He has plenty of money,but when you get a chance to get more like any other athlete,you just do it.I dont blame him for wanting money.We all want money.He will find out this year that he is done,collect his 20 million,take a year or 2 off and become a coach.WTG Peyton.Get yours you earned it.And at the same time Stick it to HorseMouth Elway.Cant ask for anything better than that now can we?

Really, san diego couldn’t even win they division with tebow at the helm weather along Peyton manning. Things just got harder for them and they’re gonna be wishing they took advantage last year in the weakest division but now, its gotten better and I think rivers is regressing and not to mention they lost their top receiver. This is how the division gonna pan out,
1 Denver
2 San diego
3 Kansas city
4 Oakland

If a healthy Marino couldnt contend for a SUPERBOWL in his mid to late 30s with a marginally talented squad. A Injury prone Peyton won’t either. He needed to go to a championship contender with a strong running game like Montana did…. not a team like the Donkies who gave up close to 50 points 5 different times last year.

Peyton going to Denver is the biggest insignificant story in NFL history.

What’s surprising to me (and maybe it shouldn’t be) is why Manning didn’t offer the Colts a contract like this one. From a PR standpoint, it seems like it would have been really difficult for the team to turn that down publicly. I guess BOTH sides really wanted a “divorce”?

Who says Peyton didn’t offer to restructure his contract in Indy? Everything Irsay did prior to the Peyton press conference indicated he wanted to clean house and start over with Luck. We’ll never know if that was even an option.

Let’s see, Peyton is 36 years old. In the NFL today, that is called a “miracle.” If he can still throw a ball well enough for a receiver to catch, I say pay the damn man.

I’m sure the Broncos can work with whatever weaknesses he may have because of his neck injury. We already saw how they were able to do some magic with Tim Tebow. And we all know Peyton is another Universe when it comes to being a QB compare to Tim Tebow.

Also @ armoderate,

Unlike Tim, Peyton has a real resume that he can stand on and demand to get paid. What does Tim Tebow have? A rabid fan-base who is so delusional, they feel he’s just as good as Peyton and a media who sees him as great material to create a circus like atmosphere everywhere he goes.

Tim Tebow is still convincing America that his “potential” will one day turn him into the greatest QB ever and should be a starting QB even if he didn’t earn it. Peyton has already convinced America that he can do his job.

I don’t see the problem.

Manning just wanted to get paid and Elway is dumb enough to pay a QB who not only had repeated neck surgeries but knee as well.

FATHER TIME is cruel… Manning has paid the troll toll and has won his MVP’s.

Now he’s one squashing from Richard Seymour or Tamba Hali from being a Theismann sideline ornament.

I wonder if the contract specifically says neck. I also wonder how low the disk issue is in Manning neck. the c-5-t-1 nerves control the arms so it is actually possible that he could re-injure the area but not hurt his neck if T-1 or T-2 goes the Broncos could be screwed because at that point it is his back.

Yeah, greedy Peyton because he’s the only player in the NFL that wants to get paid and gets paid when hurt. I’m sure Tom Brady donated his millions to third world countries when he was hurt for a season (NOT) and you know, every other player that DIDN’T START 207 CONSECUTIVE GAMES FOR 14 YEARS WITHOUT INJURY. You do realize Peyton isn’t stealing this money from small children in a third world country and it would go to other rich NFL players if he didn’t sign right?

As a former resident of Indy for 20 years and seeing what Manning did for Irsay’s rep. the Colts, and the city in general I could argue Irsay should’ve paid that money times 10 lol.

If, during the 2013 season, Manning suffers another injury to his neck, the Broncos will be off the hook for the $20 million in 2014.

Is that a Neck-Bounty? Pretty big incentive to make it look like an accident…just sayin’…

manning never would have stayed with the Colts. He lied and stole $24 million from the team and Irsay knows the Swamp Boy is done. He’s in it for the money, going with Denver because they guaranteed him the most. He’s a thief and be lied about his surgeries, tarnishing what he’s done during his career.

Denver is hoping for the 2004 Manning but they’re getting the 2012 manning. Greedy Swamp Boy. Those who blindly sniff his jock can give me a thumbs down. You idiots know who you are.

Elway playing “Wheel of Fortune”

(I think I can get that $10,000 bonus on this spin)

“John your spin.”

Tickkkkkkkkkkkk tick tick tick

Wamp wamp wamp… Bankruptcy!

Hard to win a championship when you tie up all the cash in one player. The queen is good on a chess board, but you still need a knight or two for a solid attack.

Colts fan here…..Still shocked Manning took the retired #18 from a dementia patient…..Very dirty move by someone I always considered a classy player. He went to Denver to take 20 million dollars as a retirement pay.. I am glad the colts let him go.. He is don-4 neck~! sururies in 1 year….Nuff said!

Hey Elway smart move trading Brandon Lyold away last year. Hey Peyton watch the game film from the first 5 games last yr of Kyle Orton on his back the whole time getting crushed, and that was with all the running backs and brandon lyold at the time. Now you have a great qb and no brandon lyold. Everyone said well PManning is smarter than tebow and want take a sack or a hit, he’ll quickly throw it away…well even if he’s rushed that throws off his timing and your going third down and out and not moving the ball. so whats the point. oh oh they signed caldwell…who the FFFF is caldwell and who cares…you need like a mike wallace type. lol so peyton throwing the ball with no time is no different than tebow holding the ball too long and trying to make a play and not being afraid to take a hit.

I hope Manning stays healthy, but i still dont see the broncos fixing the oline or lack of offensive playmakers. again kyle orton is a pretty decent QB, he’s better than people give him credit for and look how far that got him last year in the first 5 games

And the hate for Peyton continues. Its a shame to see one of the top 5 qb’s of all time have to be called greedy. The guy has a passion for the game let him be. I hope he wins at least one to see how much more hate everyone else throws him

I know your just dying to get something on Tebow as a “sinner”, but frankly I really don’t see much of a contradiction. The Broncos were working with Tebow’s agent. Do we know how Tebow’s agent communicated with the Broncos or to Tebow during this process? And do you really think Tebow was in a position, like Manning, to dictate where he was going to go. Tebow answered it most accurately. The Broncos had him under contract and were legally and ultimately the decider on what team he would play for. Perhaps Tebow knew of other team offers that were interested through Tebow’s agent and that the Broncos turned them down. Do I think Elway personally talked to Tebow and said ” which team do you want to go to Timmy”. Not. Elway’s track record throughout this process was to keep Tebow out of the loop until Manning’s contract was signed. Just as he or Fox didn’t sit down with Tebow and tell him that Orton was going into camp as the starter last year. Elway may have asked his agent which team Tebow wanted to go to, but I’m doubting it. That’s just not done in the NFL. In January, Elway stated Tebow would be the starter at the beginning of camp. Does anyone really beleive Elway had faith in Tebow even though he made statements indicating he did?

I’m still hedging my bets on San Diego over Denver and it has nothing to do with bitterness. I didn’t want Peyton anyway, I thought he was a bad fit for the 49ers. He is also immobile and far from clutch. We can get a better post season win ratio out of Alex Smith for a third of the price

————————————-
Alex Smith career post season wins – 2
Peyton Manning carrer post season wins – more than 2

Peyton Manning 18 mil a year
Alex Smith – 9 mil a year
When checking your math. 18/9 = 2. Me thinks that is more than 1/3 the price.

The Raiders? Win the division? They couldn’t even do it last year, when it was handed to them. No, my fine fellow, the Raiders will be playing for 2013 draft picks next year. There. Did I just break that down enough for you?

Based on their great trade for Carson Palmer, they probably will be playing for 2014 picks. Oakland will be lucky finishing anything better than fourth in the division.

There is also a clause that if Manning becomes injured, he has to stand on the sideline, and use his fivehead as a billboard, with the words “Bring back Tebow” wrote on it.
