IF true I am not a supporter. I am afraid Manning would find it difficult to be "just" one of the owners.

And you may well be right.

It's long been rumored that Peyton wants to run a team. And it's no stretch to imagine that part of Navarro's pitch could be "And hey if you sign on, I'll put you in charge of the whole damn show!"

So while we're pondering how we feel about Manning the owner, you might also want to consider how you feel about Manning the GM.

I’d be fine with him as President/GM like Elway. He’s a smart fuging football guy.

And you can expect he'd insist on smart players. Probably coaches and front office people too.

Not hard to imagine that he'd offer Tony Dungy a place in the organization somewhere.

This is a serious play to make the NFL and other owners like his goup over Tepper.

Has a minority owner ever been an announcer?  This seems like it might be a conflict of interest. 

Not sure if serious, but Manning turned those offers down.

All the networks were pretty much prepared to shovel money at him, but he said no.

I like it as well.  Seriously.  No BS.  Great football guy obviously.  The best?

Guy was a sexual harasser (allegedly), HGH user, as well as other nefarious activity, so maybe he’ll unleash the Kraken back where he belongs in black and blue as well.

It's well past time to move on from Hardy.

I know PM isn't in the announcing game this season but that could change.  I still wonder if a partial owner would be a conflict on broadcast TV.

Two things from the article really stood out to me.

"While playing, Manning often worked out at Duke University in Durham. The city became a location of major interest in 2012, as teams were lining up to sign the then-free agent."

"The question likely will be whether Navarro offers the still-free agent executive a chance to not just be involved in owning the team but to run the show. With Manning, there’s no part-time, half-assed move. If he’s in, he’s all in. And if the offer is anything less than a chance to own equity coupled with a charge to run the franchise, it’s hard to imagine Peyton being interested."

So our potential new part owner has been involved in multiple heinous allegations yet it’s time to move on from our 29 year old all time single season sacks leader who hasn’t been replaced and would love another shot?

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
