My Last Rodeo

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, Peyton "Marbles" Manning has announced his retirement in preseason and will officially retire at the conclusion of the season. The news of his retirement is not of surprise as Manning suffered a devastating neck injury in previous years and has had to have multiple surgeries on the troublesome neck; rather, the timing of the news may be one to debate for ages. Perhaps, this is Manning's calling to his team to inspire and get him that one last championship he so desires.

One of the most controversial quarterbacks, Manning has been at the discussion of illegal substances, such as HGH and other performing enhancing drugs, throughout his later career. Manning, known for his Hitler style approach to on-field antics and inability to throw deep, cross-body throws, will be looking to end his career with a championship. Will this be the last we see of a cerebral Manning or will he be just another Favre. Well, Trey Wingo, we will just have to wait and see.

Chris "Boomer" Berman reports that Ryan "1/2 of sharprock" Craig is rumored to replace the irreplaceable Manning. If this rumor is true, Craig will have some tough shoes to fill. We wish Manning the best of luck in the upcoming season and note that we should appreciate a legend when we see one. "He could.. go.. all.. the.. way!"

In other news, Steven "Asshole" Smith has confirmed with Chris "Dumbfuck" Broussard that LeBron "King" James will indeed go down in the history books as the greatest player of our generation.
