Brady, as some recall, basically called out Manning in private emails a few months ago.

November 22: Osweiler gets his first start against the Chicago Bears and throws for 250 yards in a 17-15 win.
Anderson treated Eli Manning for plantar fascia in 2009, providing a plan that kept the NY Giants quarterback on the field.
“There’s nobody that has more respect for Peyton than me outside of probably his parents and his brothers. Everyone deals with injuries at different times, and it’s unfortunate it’s this week”. So in that sense, Osweiler gives the Broncos a better chance to win. “Whether that’s on the field, press box, I don’t know”, Kubiak said.
Six games remain for the Denver Broncos going into next week; they have a record of 8-2, and have a three game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in their division.
“It’s been an interesting year”.
As for the other side of the ball, McCourty said there isn’t any extra pressure for the defense to perform now that the offense is depleted. Good that Christian was out there. He completed 20 of 27 passes against the Chicago Bears in week 11, which computes to a near 75% completion percentage. The move cost Oakland .5 million due to Ponder’s agreed-upon signing bonus.
It obviously feels good to have a playing job.
“I grew up a Broncos fan, a John Elway fan”.
After being drafted #12 overall in 2011, Ponder played in just 38 of a total 64 games for Minnesota over the next four years. “Again, I’m excited to be here”. “Honestly, I’ve been grabbed and had to go sign these papers and get a physical and do all that stuff, so I haven’t had a time to talk to him much, but I did get to say hi”.
The quarterback will likely wear a walking cast for the next week or two to help the healing, according to the NFL.
“It’s encouraging”, Kubiak said. “He’s doing everything he can to come back”.
“I know they’ve been causing a lot of chaos for quarterbacks; they’ve been getting to quarterbacks”, Osweiler said.
Both Merilatt and Whiteley are in absolute agreement that Manning reversed the fortunes of a franchise that had struggled for years, save for finding lightning in a bottle for one year in the form of Tim Tebow. They’re just going to do the same thing they do every week. “He was in meetings today”. “He’s talking me through all of his past experiences against the Patriots”. “He was out here at practice helping me out, asking me questions”. Peyton has been a great teammate. “It’s a great brain to pick”.
Apparently, he also had a run-in with the Sheriff himself – Peyton Manning – as he arrived at team headquarters.
