    January 31, 2012

    When asked the question about who is the best Manning quarterback, the answer, of course, is supposed to be Peyton Manning.  He was the golden child coming up through Tennessee, where he played well enough to end up as the number one draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts, a decision that has proven to be one that has paid off ten times over for the entire city of Indianapolis.  Peyton has put together an unbelievable career, one that would usher him into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot even if he never played another game.  But with Peyton’s career now in doubt, his brother Eli has shown that he might be equally as good.

    March 4, 2011

    The deadline to complete negotiations between the NFL owners and the NFL players union regarding  a new collective bargaining agreement was extended yesterday, giving the two sides 24 extra hours to try to work out a deal.  However, there is speculation that this extension is merely functioning as a timeframe to lay out a longer extension period.  “If we can make the kind of progress that you needed to make to have a further extension, that’s where we’d be looking,” NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash told the media yesterday.  ”Hopefully, we can make some progress and keep this thing going.  That’s obviously in everybody’s interest.  It’s been our goal all along and we’re going to just keep at it.”

Auburn quarterback Cam Newton almost certainly will be available.  The two teams drafting ahead of the Bills, the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, aren’t expected to take a quarterback.”
