Peyton goes to...

Washington

yeah

I honestly don't think he would want to play in Eli's division.

I'm assuming he's going to try to stay AFC so they can continue to dream of a Manning/Manning Superbowl

I'm driven by both desire and logic to say he goes to the Dolphins (along with Reggie Wayne), as it seems like the best fit for all parties.

I hope he goes to Denver or the Jets just for the roffles.

i voted washington too

my only reservation there is that maybe snyder feels burned after the mcnabb debacle and decides to put all his eggs in the RG3 basket instead

Fins and Skins are in the best financial position to grab him, but I've heard that Houston is where he most wants to go. I'm voting Other but I have no idea where that would be

houston would be... dope? what's schaub's situation like?

iirc schaub has a year left on his deal + an option? that could be totally wrong

sf

I'd love to see either SF or Houston, but I don't think either is a realistic landing spot during this offseason.

Houston or Tennessee, though the 49ers not giving it a shot would be a horrendous mistake. This would put them over the top.

Same thing with Houston, I guess. They'd have to be SB favorites.

would peyton going to the 49ers or houston make people hate him like lebron?

He was released by his own team. He didn't just "take his talents" elsewhere.

yeah and he prob won't have a tv special either, but if he goes to the 49ers and runs the table there's something 'too easy' about it right? I mean this is assuming he can even throw a football etc.

From profootballtalk:

Although there appears to be nothing imminent between the 49ers and soon-to-be free agent quarterback Alex Smith, the 49ers’ front office says that bringing back Smith is the focus of the franchise — and that signing Peyton Manning hasn’t even been discussed.

“We haven’t had Peyton in here nor are we even talking about those things internally right now,” 49ers G.M. Trent Baalke said on KNBR, via the Sacramento Bee. “Is he going to play? I don’t know. That’s for the doctors to make the decision on and for him himself.”

This clearly means the 49ers are considering making a move, yes?

COWBOYS

nah because football's even more of a team sport, the individual's responsibility is smaller vs. in basketball even for a qb, plus its not like san francisco is like historically loaded - they're a nice team with some good defensive talent but peyton's colts have fielded more effective defenses than they did last year, theyre not the 85 bears

I think the real issue in SF (as it's been for years) is salary cap. They were in the red for several seasons, and can just now breathe a little.

you'd so but comparing the colts pre and post peyton...
xp

you'd think so*

well the colts were built to run with peyton behind the wheel, it's a specially built team in a way that you dont usually see in the nfl. im not saying hes a not an important piece who improves any team he's on, just that the dynamics of the sport are such that a lebron comparison would be surfacey/glib/unearned

which wont stop hack sportswriters from making it but who cares

but peyton's colts have fielded more effective defenses than they did last year

I'll take last year's 49ers defense over any of the Colts squads, but yeah, they aren't the 85 Bears.

Yessssss

http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_20121559/broncos-will-inquire-about-peyton-manning-source-says

Please please make this happen.

I'll take last year's 49ers defense over any of the Colts squads, but yeah, they aren't the 85 Bears.

^they were pretty damn good. you dont need to be the 85 Bears to win it all. you just need to be able to cover for a horrendous qb, which is what the Niners were able to do, and it almost got them to the promised land.

Once again, that puts Peyty in the NFC East and I don't think that's gonna happen.

oh, i don't think it will happen, i just think it would be great

the 05 and 07 colts had higher defensive DVOAs than the 11 niners. of course they're very different defenses built for different purposes - the niners have a monster defensive front (probably the best in the league?) and a great run D, but when those colts defenses were playing with a lead they could pretty much tear anyone open

Does DVOA take into account the offense? The fact that the Colts offense was so dynamic meant that they were playing with a huge lead a lot, when that isn't the case for teams that have much stronger defenses than their offenses.

no, and yeah sure - that defense was built to complement a high powered offense. no argument there.

Jets inquired about Peyton, yessssss

Everything is going according to plan.

http://mlb.mlb.com/images/8/7/2/27079872/jeter_petyon_n35no2yy.jpg

he will never play again

peyton to the brownies

Redskins- Snyder likes to pay the old vets, but I can't see Shanahan giving the keys over to Peyton. Also from Peyton's point of view, he might recall that Shanahan pretty much threw McNabb under the bus just a year ago then got at the wheel and backed up.

Seahawks- I think this seems possible in just the fact the owner has a gazillion dollars. Even with the Niners, I'd say the NFC west is generally not a strong division. Pete Carroll always seems like a flake to me, but he might just be Ok with turning over the keys to a guy like Manning.

Jets- I can't see Manning wanting to go anywhere near that grease fire.

Dolphins- It seems to make sense for the history and locale, but the current ownership and management is not the same guys that ran the club under Robbie and they seem kind of dense. Miami has some talent, so it seems they might be able to make the next step if Manning is ready to go. NFL would love to have those 2 games each with the Pats and Jets, that is for sure. I'd think with their team's make up and where they are at now, it probably would make sense to go after Matt Flynn as they are a somewhat young club.

Chiefs- Is this even being discussed? KC might not have been as bad as it got last year, but they don't seem to be ready for primetime and I think that Manning wants to play to win now.

(Texans)- This is a new one. I see Manning would like it as they are a club built to win it all with a killer RB and WR (if healthy), a solid defense and a head coach that has been credited as being pretty progressive offensive mind. Peyty would also get a shot to completely decimate the Colts a couple of times a year for a few season extracting revenge in blood. Schaub has been good when healthy, bad thing is that he can't stay healthy. Houston has Mario Williams out there to deal with as a free agent. So they go after Peyty even if they cut Schaub they probably can't bring back Williams. I say possible, but I don't know much about the Texans' situation to say for sure.

(Niners)- I think it would take some brass balls and a cold disposition to toss out Smith after him and the clubs huge turnaround including one of the more epic playoff wins in franchise history (upsetting the Saints), even with the bleh game and loss in the NFC championship. You know Harbaugh got tossed to the curb when the Colts drafted Peyton. Who knows how that fits into the whole logic of things. It would be a weird turn of events for Ex-Colt Qb/Stanford Head Coach Harbaugh to coach Ex-Colt Manning who was replaced by ex-Stanford Qb Andrew Luck. It's a small world after all.

I kind of feel for Andrew Luck going into Indy. I hope the Colts picked their GM and head coach well along with having some good offensive coaches - being the #1 in the draft AND both replacing a legendary player at QB starting as a rookie could be a recipe for disaster even if the guy has huge talent.

The Colts o-line has gotten old too, the guys that were good are all gone (or maybe going with Saturday).

Cardinals should be in the mix

i was hoping that luck wore 18 at stanford, but it was 12

(Texans)- This is a new one. I see Manning would like it as they are a club built to win it all with a killer RB and WR (if healthy), a solid defense and a head coach that has been credited as being pretty progressive offensive mind. Peyty would also get a shot to completely decimate the Colts a couple of times a year for a few season extracting revenge in blood. Schaub has been good when healthy, bad thing is that he can't stay healthy. Houston has Mario Williams out there to deal with as a free agent. So they go after Peyty even if they cut Schaub they probably can't bring back Williams. I say possible, but I don't know much about the Texans' situation to say for sure.

Mario is as good as gone anyway

read today that the Fins have had 18 starting QBs in the 13 years sine Marino retired.

18 that have started at least one game or 18 dubbed 'no. 1 starting qb'?

hmmm I assume just 18 different people who have started

obviously there have been other dudes who started a few games due to injuries, but i *think* there have been just 11 'starting qbs' for the steelers in my lifetime. there's been a fair bit of half-assedness:

terry bradshaw
cliff stoudt
david woodley
mark malone
bubby brister
neil o'donnell
kordell stewart
mike tomczak
kent graham
tommy maddox
ben roethlisberger

the other day I suddenly remembered the year of Tommy Maddox

it is a weird thing, being an nfl quarterback. i mean, looking at that list i have fond feelings for bradshaw, malone and maddox -- the latter two only because they were hopelessly overmatched but game. and ben of course has his own issues.

when cliff stoudt later played for the usfl's birmingham stallions, ppl went to their game against the pittsburgh maulers just to boo him.

it's pretty awesome when one makes an *era*, though, like peyton or brady or marino.

I know Peyton probably has a different selection criteria than fans do, but I would LOVE him to pick Miami just so he and Brady can be in the same division AND whip the Jets four times a season between them.

DOLPHINS PLS

Damon Huard
Jay Fiedler
Ray Lucas
Brian Griese
A.J. Feeley
Gus Frerotte
Sage Rosenfels
Daunte Culpepper
Joey Harrington
Trent Green
Cleo Lemon
John Beck
Chad Pennington
Chad Henne
Tyler Thigpen
Matt Moore

those are the only ones I can think of off the dome

Mulling it over some more, I think that Texans job seems like way too good a setup for Manning to let pass. You say that Schaub has one year left after this one on his contract, that means they might not have to eat to much to cut him, as the bonus was paid a few years back. Mario Williams is a free agent and he was a big #1 pick guy, so that is off their books. If the finances are there for Houston, I think that is going to be the place.

It's way too tempting to actually walk into a club that is a winner, especially one with such a top shelf WR and RB in Johnson and Foster. Kubiak is also a lower key offensive minded guy who worked with Elway, so I don't think it would be a big ego battle thing with the head coach and QB. Add in they had a rookie QB with some skills and some experience, so they kind of got the injury and long term future setup (possibly).

I think that is money and it makes way, way more sense than any other deal out there.

Beyond that, if they can get Manning signed before the draft- Houston has a pretty good chip to trade with Schaub.

xps

man that is something

at least matt moore has a bright future as a pitcher with the rays

rip gus frerotte, against whom i played baseball/basketball in high school, but will forever be known for giving himself a concussion by headbutting a stadium wall

Jay Fiedler - actually maybe the most decent of the lot. He was real mobile, but that is one reason he couldn't stay healthy, as he took a pounding.

Brian Griese - He just never had "it" to get over his dad, going playing where he played, wasn't going to work out.

A.J. Feeley - I guess you can hang his success on Andy Reid, as he looked pretty competent (as most of his backups did) playing for the Eagles.

Gus Frerotte & Sage Rosenfels - both of those dudes at times looked like they might have had the chops to be a good QB, then they would do something horrifically stupid and just fall apart.

Daunte Culpepper - damaged goods. Dude had an arm at one point.

Joey Harrington - Hey, he wasn't the first great college QB to not transfer into the big time.

Trent Green - good QB and was at IU when I was there, but he was old and busted up by the time he got to Miami (which lasted what like 2 starts until he got clocked and got the concussion that ended his career). Green getting hurt and Warner getting the nod with the Rams is probably one of the bigger "What If's" in recent NFL history.

Chad Pennington - the guy had a HOF football brain and a CFL arm. He really wasn't the same after the first big shoulder surgery.

Jay really was the most successful of the bunch, but he also inherited one of the best defensive units they've had since the turn of the century for a few years. it was more than that though...he wasn't a great athlete and he turned the ball over way too much, but he has a series of memorable moments like that crazy come-from-behind win against the Broncos...with a broken thumb. Still say Miami wins the division and/or gets a bye in 2002 if he doesn't go down and Lucas flushes it away.

Trent Green, I felt so horrible for him. Basically Ted Ginn's fault for trying to change direction on a WR handoff play, forcing Trent to attempt to block a defender who laid him out. seeing him unconscious those few moments was just hella sad.

Humorously, Miami's offense was actually putting up a lot of points with him as a starter.

david woodley - He was a decent QB if all you had to do was hand off the ball. Hey it worked enough to get the Dolphins to a Superbowl.

mark malone - He could run, but the throwing thing was kind of dicey.

bubby brister - Decent at times and it is sad that the days of QBs being named Bubby or Billy Joe probably is at an end.

neil o'donnell - Decent at points, but like the Steelers conservative offense, not a guy that could go toe to toe in a big passing game with someone really good.

kordell stewart - He was kick ass as SLASH and if they left him at that the story might have ended up different. It might have been different if the Steelers special teams would have quit giving up TDs in the playoffs. He got a lot of crap, but in the end it was a team that ran first and second that could be outmatched if it ran into a team with a big passing game.

mike tomczak - (search for Bears quarterbacks)

tommy maddox - The guy was a bust that came back out and had one nice season. That's a nice story there even though he didn't do much else after that.

neil o'donnell

he wasn't really required to go toe-to-toe with anyone as much as to not throw the ball to larry brown

My feeling is that no matter how good you are in the NFL, becoming "GREAT" is a whole heck of alot of being in the right place ad the right time. Trent Green is kind of an illustration of that, as he had a few really fine seasons as a starter and if things go different...hey you never know.

oh, totally

Many NFL fans just won't acknowledge that fact though.

RICH GANNON

Ricky Williams gets drafted by the Colts instead of the Saints.

Dan Marino goes to the Steelers instead of Dolphins.

lol the steelers (like nearly everyone else) passed on marino

Doug Flutie distracted by flasher in stands, gets sacked instead of throwing hail mary, never starts for Bills

that dolphins list reminds me of that bears list of tragicomedy i posted awhile back:

bears fans might look around and prefer other qbs but honestly, we've got jay cutler. this is who we had between mcmahon and cutler:

Doug Flutie
Jim Harbaugh
Kyle Orton
Kordell Stewart
Brian Griese
Chris Chandler
Rex Grossman
Craig Krenzel
Erik Kramer
Mike Tomczak
Jonathan Quinn
Chad Hutchinson
Henry Burris
Jim Miller
Cade McNown
Peter Tom Willis
Will Furrer
Steve Walsh
Dave Kreig
Rick Mirer
Steve Stenstrom
Moses Moreno
Shane Matthews
Steve Fuller

yeah honestly when everyone on twitter today was all THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL during peyton's press conference i was like "uh y'all are getting peyton manning jr, please call me when you sit thru jay fiedler, aj feely and fat daunte culpepper"

incredible fortune is basically smiling on indy right now tbh.

it annoys me that teams don't lose on purpose for draft picks more often

like who cares if you have 1 win or 4 wins

they didn't really 'earn' andrew luck

wau there are 10 dudes on that bears list i haven't even heard of

Steve Fuller- decent backup QB, won a playoff game and if hadn't gotten hurt after Jimmy Mac in 86, they might have had another shot at the Superbowl.

Mike Tomczak- much maligned, but really better than many of these clowns that followed. He hung around the NFL for a long time.
Doug Flutie- First start was a playoff game against the 49ers as a rookie. The Bears gave up on him after that embarrassment and in hind sight was mistake, as Flutie did eventually prove he could play in the NFL.

Jim Harbaugh- Harbaugh was kind of a scapegoat as he became the starter as the great Bears teams were in apogee with Payton gone and that good offensive line starting to fall apart. Ditka really screwed him big time pulling that yanking stunt in Minnesota and the fans turned on him big time. In hindsight, he was WAY freakin better than most of these bozos and could have been a solid for a lot longer. His scrambling ability bailed out a their O-line a bunch. The only game I ever saw in person was the Vikings versus the Bears like the weekend that Jordan retired for the first time (so probably 92?) and they sacked him like 7 times and hit him a dozen more. The line was so porous and yet every Bear fan listening to talk radio driving out talked about how much Harbaugh was to blame for the loss, which was complete insanity.

Peter Tom Willis- He was hyped up for about a half a year after he was drafted, I think because of the three name thing and because he had that Jesse Palmer thing that he kind of looked like a QB. He was also one of many Florida State QBs that put up huge numbers in college and not do squat in the pros.

Will Furrer- Don't even remember the dude.

Erik Kramer- He actually was pretty decent when healthy. He had one good season with the Bears.

Steve Walsh- See Peter Tom Willis and insert Miami of Florida where it says Florida State.

Dave Kreig- This guy was a pretty good QB for a long time, not heralded as he played in Seattle. He played for the Bears late in his career and had a few decent games on very middling Bears clubs. I think he was there in the Wannstadt 7-9 into infinity years.

Rick Mirer- The guy had a decent rookie year at Seattle then turned to suck. The Bears cannot help but get rooked on Notre Dame guys, but hey Mirer kept getting a job for ten years or more.

Steve Stenstrom & Moses Moreno- Don't remember, I didn't watch as much football for a couple of years as I used to have to work a bunch of Sundays at a restaurant.

Shane Matthews- See Steve Walsh, insert Florida in place of 'The U'.

Cade McNown- Flush that #1 down the toilet. He looked cool throwing from the left side though.

Jim Miller- One of my favorites, as the dude was a total meatball. His press conference after he got busted for steroids was hilarious. He was decent, but couldn't stay healthy after having the one OK year.

Chris Chandler- Chandler was a decent QB that could never stay healthy. When he could play, he did alright and put up some results like in Atlanta. The guy played in the NFL forever and ended up with the Bears at the end of his career.

Henry Burris- This dude was terrible. He was one of the worse ones, even more so then Krenzel. That season the Bears went through everyone and a bucket playing QB and I don't think that Burris guy could of started at Illinois, let alone the Bears. Burris started either a Monday night or Sunday night game and it was one of the most freaking ugly games a QB could have.

Kordell Stewart- The guy had some talent and maybe if just left as a 'slash' player, he might have had more success. He took the brunt of the Steelers long time failures in the playoffs, some much deserved. It wasn't a terrible idea giving him a shot, but I think the failure seemed to kind of break him a bit. When he first started though, he was an exciting player for a season or two.

Rex Grossman- In the end, see Shane Matthews but give him a bunch more starts.

Jonathan Quinn- Another guy that got a shot in lost season. He didn't have much.

Craig Krenzel- Dude gave it the old college try, but he just didn't have the chops. I kind of liked the guy, but he didn't have much of an arm.

Chad Hutchinson- This is a backup that got hyped, a signing for the Bears a bit like Steve Walsh, who started as a backup with the Cowboys. He had some big ass teeth.

Kyle Orton- I like the guy and there have been some decent QBs to come out of Purdue, so I hope for the best.

Brian Griese- Dude was following Elway, his dad is a Hall of Fame QB and he ended up a QB for the Bears -- i.e. he was screwed from jump street.

― earlnash, Tuesday, December 2, 2008 9:17 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Jeff Blake is one of my favorite of the more obscure Bears QBs. That dude had a cannon of the arm and a couple of decent years with the Bengals. If he would have ended up with a better club early in his career, things might have been different.

Vince Evans- The guy had a really good arm and started a bit before Jimmy Mac. He hung around the NFL for a long time afterwards.

Bob Avellini- The dude would run for more yards than pass some games. Payton always got more running the ball for more yards than Avellini would thrown.

Mike Phipps - Dude was a big time first round draft bust that ended up with the Bears for a while before Jimmy Mac.

ain't kidding about hutchinson

http://www.oddjack.com/hutch.jpg

the funny thing about Griese was I was posting on/writing columns for this (lol uber-conservative) Dolphins fan site in 2003, and fans were so clamoring for him to start to the point where his ultimately effective debut against the (then horrible) Chargers had people using the words "Marino-esque" to describe him.

Even after he was stinking the building up, people still wanted to believe he was the savior until finally Fiedler won his job back and actually got them (momentarily) back on track.

also the name "Ray Lucas" when spoken aloud causes me to black out for ten minutes and I usually wake up with blood on my hands (never mine)

also lol I remember "Grossman fever" w/ Bears fans

I hope Peyton retires.

think he should go to kc or minnesota

On those Bears and Dolphins lists, Fieldler, Miller and Kramer were all pretty good.

If John Elway somehow signs Peyton Manning that would be a total James T. Kirk Kobayashi Maru solution to the whole Tim Tebow situation.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

lol, the two most likely teams at this point aren't even included by name in the poll options. Oh football!

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/titans-life-contract-offer-manning-may-way-gain-162337118.html

really feeling more and more like titans are a good look, now wondering whether or not he's going to break in half.

niners mane

i hope not

49ers just signed Manning ... ham.

Yeah, I have to think the Niners stealth action could pay dividends. Also, there have been reports that Alex Smith is shopping for a new agent, since he shares Tom Condon with Peyton. I guarantee you Condon will more "fairly" represent Peyton than Alex Smith because of the potential payday.

yeah that prob makes sense from smith's prospective

peyton going to SF would make some sense, i guess -- awful division, great defense, one of the best coaches in the NFL... i guess he assumes he can overcome the terrible WR core

Moss + Manningham is a marked improvement over last year. They may force Crabtree to play better.

wait, did they actually sign manningham? i thought he was in negotiations w/ the rams?

oh i see... weird, dunno how i missed that

also vernon davis is amazing

ya i think vernon + peyton could be ridiculous

Alex Smith reportedly talking contract with Miami after today's visit.

polyphonic, is alex smith good? plz advise

y'know I could live with acquiring Alex Smith if he didn't have the Keystone Kops to throw to

polyphonic, is alex smith good? plz advise

why would you ask me, i am the least knowledgeable!

but anyway, I think that if you give him a good pocket he can run the west coast very effectively, but isn't very adept at working under pressure or throwing the deep ball. I'd rather just stick with Matt Moore for cheap and keep building. Overall I think he's in that mix of the 15-25th best quarterbacks ... he can win if he has the guys around him but he isn't a difference maker on his own.

yeah, that's about what i thought

I understand why the fins got rid of marshall but like are they even going to replace him?

i have a feeling they'll draft blackmon or floyd

or else they're looking at one of the worst WR groups in nfl history

I have been really impressed with Reggie McKenzie so far. Dude is just like ... you know what? This team is garbage. Let's cut everyone.

I think the Dolphins would be wise to do the same thing. They're up against the cap without much to show for it.

Now that the Seahawks have assembled the backup quarterbacks of Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Philip Rivers they are ready for success.

Miami's defense actually has the potential to be pretty great though

Niners looking to sign Mike Wallace. Wallace, Manningham, Moss, Vernon Davis. Yeah, what a shitty receiving core that would be.

do they have like $750m in cap room? cuz i'm pretty sure that's what it would take to sign both manning and wallace

iirc Niners do have some wiggly cap space to work with.

also, if they bring in Wallace, surely they'll dump Crabtree.

broncos win!

http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/Tim_Tebow_Tebowing_Overtime_Broncos_Win_Steelers.jpg

#TRADETEBOW

so...colin kaepernick is SF qb?

that would be hilarious

alex smith may feel mega butthurt, but if the niners come back and offer him more money than the dolphins he'd be pretty stupid not to just go back there. and i'd bet that he would.

so, jax seem to be the only place right now that will shell out for tebow, but i am sure there will be a surprise guest at that party. but maybe denver will try to keep him? that's a great learning opportunity wasted on a qb who plays like tebow tho.

v interesting denver!

Peyty, why u braek hart?

on balance, i am glad PM went to a team i didn't like already. you can have too many nfl beefs.

yay I get to like the Broncos again

goddammit

whats being said abt whether peyton can still like play football

the contract will prob be more revealing than anything people say

ugh

double ugh

now where does tebowmania go??

miami?

lol if any team wants tebow as their quarterback

Tebowmania goes to the CFL

Tim Tebow is from Jacksonville. Tim Tebow will help the Jaguars with their not-sellling-out-games problem. Tim Tebow will start and Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne will warm the bench.

i was sort of hoping he would go to san fran but the resulting #tradetebow mania is too delicious to pass up

Peyton was thinking of all of us

yeah Tebow to JAX seems all but official right now

can't wait, hope he can still play

tebow playing himself into irrelevance in jacksonville would be hilarious

if the dolphins trade for him i'm moving to new orleans and copping a custom vilma jersey with 10K as the number

So the Fins stick it out with Matt Moore and then try to get Blackmon in the draft, yes?

Also, Stephen Ross/Jeff Ireland may have finally surpassed Dan Snyder in NFL front office lols.

xp: Larry Blackmon, I hope

what a great day

wow. the broncos.

I'm assuming he's going to try to stay AFC so they can continue to dream of a Manning/Manning Superbowl

I would like to point out that I was OTM in this thread

Here's Philip Rivers' reaction to the news!

http://www.pyromaniac.com/teams/images/san-diego-chargers/philip-rivers-mouthface2.png

that Rivers pic still makes me nauseous even now

rivers endorsing rick santorum makes him the least likable athlete in sports, right?

Oh no, did he do that?

oh he most certainly did

;_;

Anyway, how much will Denver be willing to drop on Mike Wallace now?

there are plenty of people who have done worse than endorse a terrible Presidential candidate, it's just that hardly anyone in the US knows who they are

I mean, look at Michaël Llodra, the racist French tennis player:

After his first round victory over Ernests Gulbis at the 2012 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, during which Llodra was overheard by fans and journalists making racist and sexist comments to a female Gulbis fan, Llodra was fined $2500 by the ATP for his behaviour. [9] He later admitted making the comments in interviews with French media and complained that the fine was too high. Llodra did not make matters better for himself during an interview with a reporter from the Chinese news Web site SINA.com, in which the Frenchman claimed he attempted to apologize for his remarks. “My words were not aimed at China,” Llodra began. "I love Chinese — I can totally make love with a Chinese girl,” he added, before being cut off by the A.T.P. official monitoring the interview. The journalist, who took offense at the remark, said that he did not find Llodra’s apology sincere. This was not the first incident in which charges of racism have been leveled at Llodra. He denied his comments were racist during his 2011 French Open first round defeat at the hands of Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis, comparing the atmosphere on court to that of a north African souk while veteran Moroccan umpire Mohammed El Jennati was in the chair.

there are multiple players in the NFL that have killed people while DUI... and i still somehow am not sure if that's worse than voting for rick santorum

pretty sure the Fins should just stick with Matt Moore right now. he hasn't been great but I don't see him at that TJax/Orton level of "we need to replace this guy right now"

The upside would be watching Rivers play poorly this fall after Obama wins (just in time for the post-season!).

Matt Moore is a fine starter who may not win a game in the clutch, but he won't lose it for you like Chad Henne has done.

ha

i can't believe peyton is doing this to me never thought i'd see the day i'd root for the broncos

its cool u wont really have to his head is scheduled to fall off sometime in the preseason #insidertip

:(

i wonder if peyton will start looking like a horse in the grand elway tradition

he could play equine, i think

he could get his teeth capped

I liked it better when the AFC West was a division of semi-average/uneven teams all with a 50/50 chance of beating each other

this likely will upset the natural order of things and I WILL NOT HAVE IT

fuck

stupid broncos

You know if Al Davis was alive they'd have offered Peyton $200M

rip

LOL I didn't say WE wouldn't take him

rivers endorsing rick santorum makes him the least likable athlete in sports, right?

figures

thank you Philip Rivers for giving me tangible justification to hate you further

Maybe Rivers is just into fecal froth.

Peyton at QB, with McGahee and Tebow in split-back sets. Imagine it!

no

y'know, if they could convince Tebow to give up on his dream to be a lifelong NFL qb, he could really have some success in Denver in schemes like the one poly mentioned.

wow i didn't know that about river, fuck that guy

man i just hate the goddamn broncos. always have. i just can't root for them, even now. why didnt peyton consult me before signing

His ability as a qb remains to be seen, but I would've steered him towards coaching and/or tv if it were up to me.

he shoulda gone to the titans!

fuckin a; he's a legend up in them thar hills
woulda been a titan for life
TITAN 4 LIF

I think the thing with Tebow in Denver is that Manning would have to be willing to leave the field perhaps on some plays.

If Denver kept Tim Tebow made him the 3rd string QB, sometime H-Back and then just used him at QB like Florida did that first National Championship season (short yardage, red zone running sets), he would be awesome. The guy is a beast of a fullback running the ball.

You never know what might be going on in the background. It could be they offer him to stay and that job or it could be straight trade him out. Thing is other than j-ville, who really is going to want him?

his forehead really does raise the helmet like six inches taller than it should be, that's accurate

Here is a shot of Peyton at the Espys a couple years back. I kind of wish he kept the stache.

Denver is unretiring #18 for Peyton with Frank Tripucka's blessing.

Also, Stephen Ross/Jeff Ireland may have finally surpassed Dan Snyder in NFL front office lols.
