Manning and his Mile High Destiny

Yesterday on sports talk radio there was a collective frenzy over Peyton Manning making a surprising visit to Denver. My inner-child who is afraid of having his Broncos heart crushed refused to buy into the hype... Until Jake gave me a call.

Now I'm completely lathered up over the prospect of a becoming a PM new Dawn fan. [I'm going to assume most of you completely miss that reference, but whatever].

For starters, Denver was not supposed to be high up on the list of suitors for the football cyborg's services. Most  project him going to a warm weather or dome market such as Miami or Arizona. While Colorado has a change of seasons, our weather is generally favorable. Winter here is like winter done right for most east coast and central cities with more humidity and less sunshine. For example, yesterday when PM came to visit on March 9 (winter) it was 65 and sunny. A Chamber of Commerce Utopia of Milgh High Magic. This video would sum up PM's feelings upon landing:

Now that the right feeling abounds, let's talk some positives for the Broncos:

• We have a ton of cap space to bring in PM and let him do the LeBron and bring some of his buddies. 
• Elway understands being a legend and knows how to cater to this guy. And no one will question PM as an Elway successor. Elway shadow problem finally solved. 
• Peyton won with a Defensive minded coach that let him be the O-coordinator and run things his way.
• That means total control of the offense. Heck, we completely re-did everything last year for Tebow, why not PM?
• Two great pass rushers to torment teams while you play from ahead?  - Doom and Gloom baby!
• Demerius Thomas is a beast that would become a star with PM. Erick Decker would be the new Austin Collie and I think its safe to say a good free agent would be willing to come play here. 
• Todd Helton and PM are tight. Never underestimate the power of friendship. 
• PM wants to stay in the AFC. Why not play in the worst conference with the best chance of winning?
• Outside of a few cold games the weather here is not that bad. Plus, PM can dispel the slight on him that he is only good in a dome. 
• An elite defense helps, but its all about power offenses to win Championships these days. We can give Peyton total control to do what he wants to win ASAP. Glory for him and glory for Orange Sunsets.
• The next great tight-end? We don't need Dallas Clark, we already have Tim Tebow! - thank you Jake.
• Or if Tebow declines, we trade him and end Tebow Time. 
• The end of Tebow Mania
• The end of fans making excuses for Tebow
• The end of endless talk radio about Tebow
• Me typing less of the word Tebow
• No one caring if I type the word Tebow

Governor Tarkin would say: "The last remnants of the Old Mc Daniels era have been swept away. Love for Peyton Manning will keep the fans in line." 

I want to hear about PM and all of the receivers and the O-line living at Dove Valley and getting so dialed in that they start finishing other's sentences and burning incense in football shaped meditation circles that last 24 hours. It will be glorious when we add more Lombardi Trophies to the collection. 

OK. I'm going to go take a cold shower now.
