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?

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
