The Giants quarterback said he did not know about Peyton’s future plans despite widespread conjecture that he might retire after the Super Bowl, but admitted it has been a trying season for his brother.

What’s whispered into Bill Belichick’s ear stays in Bill Belichick’s ear. “So, it sure has been a pleasure”, Manning told Belichick.
The Denver Broncos (14-4) defeated the New England Patriots, 20-18, in the AFC Championship game in which their defense contained Tom Brady. You never know how even someone as gifted as Newton will perform on the biggest stage of his life.
For Super Bowl 50, Newton is given an over/under of 240.5 passing yards, with the over a 1.8000 favorite. “They don’t exist anymore”, he joked. So, no confirmation on that whatsoever…. “We are on to Carolina”.
Panthers’ coach Ron Rivera certainly seems confident that linebacker Thomas Davis is going to be able to play in the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos.
The five-time MVP’s spokesman Ari Fleischer said Manning “welcomes” the investigation.
“He left the room and I sat there in amazement”, Capers said.
Last year, the Broncos gave up against the Colts, and John Elway made a promise to build a team that would go out “kicking and screaming”; now, we have a team that doesn’t understand how to lose.
So the question remains, can Manning lead his team to victory one last time? As long as he’s not playing against the Bucs, I’m good with him winning a bunch of stuff.
“We liked Kerry, but we didn’t feel like it was a fair return”, Polian said.
Aikman, a Hall of Famer, said Newton has also shown he can handle pressure during his career.
Manning knows the next game of his career will be the most important of his career – his legacy game.
Peyton Manning +350: If the Broncos win, it won’t be because of Manning’s play, but likely for the defense dominating.
Although Manning had no problems discussing the HGH story, there was one subject that Manning preferred not to address Thursday. You belong in this league and (you’re) one hell of a player.

Only now Wilson starts the last two Super Bowl games, and here comes Cam, like him or not. “That’s P Freaking M, the guy you’ve been idolizing”. I kept saying, ‘I hope that’s not true. I’m proud to call New England my home and to have the privledge (sic) of playing for your team. Asked what his role was in that plan, Manning said, “Set the curfew, basically”. “I still stand by what I said then…” “That didn’t get a lot of positive views”.
