“It’s garbage from the first day it came out and still garbage today”, he said. They just don’t exist anymore.
After the Denver Broncos wrapped up practice on Thursday leading up to their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in SuperBowl 50, quarterback Peyton Manning spoke with the media about multiple things, including an National Football League investigation based on an Al-Jazeera America report that linked Manning, among others, to use of Human Growth Hormone, as well as speculation on Peyton Manning retiring following SuperBowl 50.
Everyone hopes that the game will be as competitive and exciting as they’re anticipating it to be, and the Broncos and Panthers are surely going to compete to their fullest. “We are on to Carolina”. “I know he’s enjoying the playoffs and enjoying this opportunity with his football team”. Even though he’s got some age on him, he’s ‘The Sheriff.’ If I even get the ball from him, if he throws an interception or something and the guy allows me to be there for it, I’m probably going to bow to him.
“Maybe our panthers at the N.C. Zoo can offer some tips on taking down a papier-mache bronco or two before Super Bowl Sunday”, said Pat Simmons, director of the N.C. Zoo. “I’m rooting for him, but shoot, I want that ring”.
Manning was also asked about the differences between pocket passers like himself and mobile quarterbacks like Carolina’s Cam Newton. The report said Manning’s wife, Ashely, received shipments of HGH in 2011, the same year Manning was recovering from a series of neck surgeries. “Be careful with the labels….”
“DeMarcus said he’d need to take some time to think about it and weigh in”, Manning said.
Kubiak said he trusts his players and will leave it up to the captains to decide when the guys should go to bed. That didn’t get a lot of good reviews. “DeMarcus said he was going to have to take some time to think about that and weigh in”. “Maybe there’s a panel to go on”.

Manning joked that he threw out a 9 p.m. curfew, but that suggestion didn’t sit well with teammates.
