    i would like to see peyton in denver. with a good defense they would be good immediately. peyton doesnt even give a damn if he has good receivers, he throws TD after TD anyways.

    Is no one really going to mention Big Jim's Boobie Bungalow?

    Probably the most amusing name for a titty bar I've ever heard.

    Broncos and Manning are very interested in each other...

    He got a high-profile welcome in Denver.
    According to The Denver Post, the Broncos
    sent a plane to pick up Manning in South
    Florida, where he has a condo. He had
    traveled there after an emotional news
    conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday,
    when he said goodbye to the team that
    drafted him No. 1 overall in 1998 and he led
    to the 2007 Super Bowl championship.
    The plane then stopped in Stillwater, Okla.,
    where Broncos vice president of football
    operations and Hall of Fame quarterback
    John Elway, coach John Fox and general
    manager Brian Xanders were watching
    Oklahoma State's pro day. The Broncos
    management met up with Manning, and
    everyone flew back to Denver.
    ESPNews carried live coverage of the flight
    arriving at an airport in Denver, then also
    followed Manning's car ride to Broncos
    headquarters. And while Manning met with
    Elway & Co. inside the building, a blue
    helicopter hovered overhead.

    Manning spent nearly six hours at the
    Denver Broncos' facility on Friday

    Kurt Warner thinks Miami is in the lead:

    Warner, now an analyst for the NFL Network, does not see the Cardinals as favorites in the Manning sweepstakes.

    "I think Miami still has the upper hand," he said. "I don't necessarily know why I think that. I just think since day one they've made it known 'We want him to be our guy and we'll do whatever we have to do to get him.' I think if you're a guy in that situation, at that stage of your career, that's what you want to hear. You want to go somewhere where they're saying 'We're going to roll out the red carpet. Whatever you need we're willing to make those moves, bring a receiver with you, sign you to whatever kind of deal you want.'"

    Peyton has supposedly expressed a desire to remain in the AFC. If that's true, do you see Miami as the leading candidate with the Patriots, Jets, & Bills in their division, or the Broncos with the Raiders, Chiefs, & Chargers in theirs?

    I thought I read that the Cardinals are now out of it. I though Wash and Miami all along. Now that Wash is out, I think still Miami and maybe Denver. Tebow is the greatest quarterback of our generation and his GM and Coach can't even see it.




    That should wake this thread up.:lol:

    this is from article by LA Times sports writer posted one hour ago:

    according to ESPN 's Adam Schefter,
    Manning does not plan to meet with any
    other teams (besides Denver and Arizona) -- and that includes the
    Dolphins , who want him badly.

    My sources say Denver is in the lead,
    and they say that John Elway will do
    whatever he can to land him

    ....

    Arizona is very much in the mix, of
    course, because Manning would have
    All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald and a
    roster with real potential, would be
    playing in a dome and living in a warm-
    weather city, and would be in what has
    been a very winnable division.

    ...

    But remember, these situations can
    change quickly and dramatically, and
    Manning could wind up going in a
    different direction. That's what
    happened when Brett Favre, who looked
    to be heading to Tampa Bay, chose the
    Jets instead. Or last year, when the
    Eagles surprisingly intercepted Nnamdi
    Asomugha .
    How quickly could the Manning
    decision come down? He'd like to make
    the choice as soon as possible, because
    with free agency starting (tomorrow) he wants the
    ability to help reshape a roster. Also,
    he's been in the same offensive system
    his entire career. He wants to get started
    ASAP getting to know the personnel
    around him, and getting comfortable
    with a new team (although he'll have a
    huge imprint on his new team's offense,
    wherever he goes.)

    I think I was mistaking the Chiefs for the Cardinals. The chiefs are out of it. Should be interesting to see what happens.
