Peyton Manning is a Bronco. This day is his.
One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time will now strap it up in the Mile High City after a year that has been nothing but trouble. He was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch his team; his city fall to indelible lows. He withered, with his mind as sharp as ever, getting replaced by someone who had yet to take a snap in a professional game.
Manning deserves this day all to himself. It’s a pen and paper, and a chance finally to play football.
The ex-Colt said everything everyone wanted to hear in the press conference. The feed streamed live across the Internet and the Twitter-verse chimed his quotes in unison.
He chose Denver the way he studies defenses, with pinpoint accuracy. He weighed his options and found a home. He made his decision, on his own, from the comfort of his own impeccable mind, and not a minute to late.
Manning apologized for taking so long, he hates being in the spotlight. But he should soak it all in. All of it, including the 300-plus days of sunshine that are coming his way.
It’s not Tuesday, it’s his first true Sunday as number-18 for the Denver Broncos.
