Where does Peyton Manning land...Miami, Arizona, somewhere else?

Reportedly, Manning will visit Tennessee. His decision will therefore not coincide with the beginning of free agency.

I have to say, if you ever find yourself feeling good about about your fellow man, read the comments in Pro Football Talk. The negative stuff people consistently come up with makes the Peyton Manning take-down that's going on here look like a pep rally.

Part of the blame goes to Florio and his snarky style. He sets the tone. But goodness, the bile some folks spew in those comments is really discouraging.

I gave up on other forums. The noise to signal ratio is not worth it.

I found a good one for Chelsea. The mods are very good at eliminating the trolls. Banning people reduces traffic but it makes for a more pleasant experience.

Comments to online articles are a different matter. Horrible.

Of course, GMs are notorious liars, so who knows?

It looks like they are back in the hunt...good grief Charlie Brown...I hope this comes to fruition. Peyton with a broken neck, in a wheel chair and blowing through a straw to make audibles at the line of scrimmage could probably lead a more effective offense than Alex Smith.

I think these things:

Manning seems to have recovered his arm strength. We have the Stokely and the 49ers comments as evidence. That's encouraging. I'd love to see a capable manning squeeze out a few more years.

The leaks are not coming from Manning. There's no consistency to the timing of them, which suggests they're coming from the individual teams. For example, we only learned about the 49ers session a day later, whereas the Denver visit was known well ahead of time.

Manning in Arizona would have been fun. I'm sorry that's off the table.

Manning in SF would be scary... if they can get him a wideout. Moss ain't it, except for jump balls. I wonder if Manning can whip Crabtree into something?

All the finalists are outdoors grass teams. Per his critics, Manning should suck. I'm looking forward to this.

I truly do not know what SF is thinking with Moss; if they want a past-his-prime wideout why not go for Ochocinco instead? At least his love of the limelight is usually harmless and even occasionally entertaining. Moss....no.
I still love the idea of Manning in SF (despite my enduring bitterness and resentment toward them), though I fully expect the state of Tennessee to offer to make Peyton governor--or maybe even king-- before it's all said and done.

It's my fault, not theirs, but there's something so anonymous about Tennessee that I'd rather he didn't play there.

PM makes mediocre WRs VG.

Agree.

Between Randy "I play when I wanna play" Moss and Parrish "She was asking for it" Cox I'm pretty much disgusted with the 49ers FA signings. May as well add Wheelchair Manning to make the season a total mockery. Hell, why not bail Rae Carruth out of jail and put him at WR while they're at it?

Blah.
