The Payton Manning retirement watch starts up in about....four minutes. Seriously, he looks done. The last half of the season, Manning just hasn't had anything in the tank.

Yeah I think that Manning's retirement train is pulling into the station too.

Steelgrave

There is some word that John Fox may be escorted from the building as well. If this is indeed Payton's last game, it was a very anti-climatic ending to a great career.

Denver looked beat from the start of that game. Manning's heart isn't in it. Neither is that team's.

Agreed. I truly think the Manning experiment in Denver is done. It will be a shock to me if he returns next year.

Go Pats

It's over. I'll be surprised if Manning doesn't retire. Fox is probably out too. And he's a good coach imho.

Denver looked awful across the board. Also, who on Earth is running the Dallas defense? Facing a QB hobbling around on one good leg, and they just rush 4...rush 4...rush 4...no pressure? Keep rushing 4...hey, I know, let's rush 4! Still not working? Hmmm...oh, let's try rushing 4! BLITZ. Rodgers is ripping you apart anyway, but maybe you can start putting some heat on the guy! But, we all know that won't matter because ROMOCHOKERROFLMAOHERPADERP.

This gives me newfound respect for the Panthers as an organization:

12-Year-Old Sends Letter to All 32 NFL Teams, and Only the Panthers Respond

QuoteSometimes, it's tough to pick a team to root for. So why not just ask the teams?

That's exactly what 12-year-old Cade Pope did.

The sixth-grader from Oklahoma wrote a letter to every owner of every NFL team asking who he should support. Of the 32 teams, only one responded.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson sent Cade a handwritten letter that stated, "Cade, we would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we represent you."

The letter also came with a replica Panthers helmet signed by Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly.

"If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina Panthers fan," said Pope.

Gus watches porn. Longblade changes his Aquaman sheets with the backup set he keeps handy. Star....well, I ain't going there.

well...  it doesn't involve Kamikatze dorking it up, but that wasn't really the intent of the query, either.
