“I like the system, obviously, having played in it and knowing that you can win world championships with it”.

There’s been an Ohio State-Michigan storyline in the NFL Playoffs, too.
That toughness has been on display all season.
The idea of Manning, who at 39 is set to become the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl, winning a title in what could be the last game of his career remains intact with the symmetry of his boss and former Denver quarterback John Elway.
College football reporters miss having Roby to interview, but he’s clearly still as personable as ever. “I think it’s something that you see in our team’s play and attitude”.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning says he does not know if older brother Peyton plans to retire after the Super Bowl, but Eli hopes Peyton “can go out on top”.
Super Bowl 50 is upon us, and the odds on favorites heading into the game are the Carolina Panthers, led by all-universe quarterback Cam Newton. And maybe there are some people out there who are concerned with who he is, which I think is awful. Manning, then with the Colts, was rehabbing from neck surgeries.
The Broncos also changed their offensive identity this season with the hiring of coach Gary Kubiak, who installed a better ground game and a plan for Manning to share snaps with Brock Osweiler in practice. Manning joined the Broncos in 2012 and was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year after throwing for 4,659 yards with 37 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
For all his greatness the one knock against Manning is that he has not always been at his best when the spotlight shines its brightest.
Danny Cox knows a little something about the National Football League, whether it means letting you know what penalty will come from the flag just thrown on the field or quickly spouting off who the Chicago Bears drafted in the first round of the 1987 draft (Jim Harbaugh). “I have a lot of respect for that guy….” “I’m rooting for him, but shoot, I want that ring”.

With a full 10 days, and at least three more media sessions left for Manning until the Super Bowl, it’s certain this won’t be the last of the questions he faces on the topic, as he prepares for what could be his last game. But as an aging broadcaster has said many times over the decades, that’s why they play the games.
