Blah.

Seems Clem may rediscover his flask of scotch over these off season acquisitions. While were mentioning old broken down receivers, why not give plax a go? There's plenty of night clubs in Sf!!

I'm surprised you don't like the idea of Manning, especially in light of your unhappiness with Alex Smith.

Excuse me???

You are disgusted with replacing Alex Smith with Peyton Manning????
ANDY, we need an ID check on whoever posted this. We've been hacked.
I just hope Clem is ok. That's why I will never get one of those thumb swipe laptops.

Peyton Manning from 5 years ago maybe, but this dude is one Ray Lewis sack away from paralysis. At best, the team who signs PM is looking for a one year miracle, someone to save a coach or GM's job, not a guy to add to the formidable mix in place for the future.

I agree with Clem. This is ridiculous. And the $ PM wants is laughable. I'm losing tons of respect for him. Dude can't even throw and he wants to hogtie how many teams out there because of his legacy? Lunacy ....

Hey, so am I.

1) You forget about the Mayan calendar.
2) You are talking like a Patriot fan. Remember that Lions fans make secret death pacts with their friends to take the urn with their ashes to the first Lions Superbowl, if any are still living and the Sun hasn't nova'd or the universe die from heat death.

I agree with Clem. This is ridiculous. And the $ PM wants is laughable.

uh huh.

Because you have to save that cap space for Alex?

PM goes to Denver, because that is the only way Elway can ship Tebow out of town and still walk the streets without looking for little red dots.

Peyton Manning's neck can withstand a hit. The Doctor said he would let his own son play. The problem was nerve regeneration.

I'm really curious to see which Peyton Manning we get. A guy who's rested, fit and throwing well? Or a guy whose skills are seriously on the decline?

As for the free agent drama, yeah, it's not looking good. I always had a sneaky suspicion that money was a bigger deal than people initially believed. However, just like I don't blame Mario Williams, I also don't blame Manning. It's a profession and it's his last payday. They don't play the game for free, nor should they.

Except that all accounts from the teams he's worked out for (Niners on Tuesday, Broncos on Friday, Titans today) are that he looks strong and has plenty of arm strength.

He's going to Tennessee. It's a done deal, and this was the clincher:

Seriously, if someone in Indy, say Cracker Barrel, had offered him pancakes don't you think he would have stayed? Darn cheap Hoosiers

No one is holding a gun to these people's heads forcing them to play the waiting game with Manning (well, I think the people of Tennessee may actually be holding a gun to Bud Adams's head, but that's the exception). The fact that they are all googly-eyed over a 36-year-old man whose recovery status is iffy and who has at most a few years left if he is completely healthy is a testament to the general insanity of some owners and to the abilities and reputation of Peyton Manning.
