Manning, a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player who led Indianapolis to a Super Bowl crown in 2007, smiled as he spoke at the Broncos team headquarters just two weeks after an emotional departure from Indianapolis after 14 seasons. “I’m very excited to begin the next chapter of my playing career,” Manning said. “I can tell [...]
The Denver Broncos and Petyon Manning reached agreement on a five-year, $96 million contract on Tuesday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Manning will be introduced as the Broncos’ new starting quarterback at a 3 p.m. ET news conference. The Broncos now will attempt to trade quarterback Tim Tebow, sources told ESPN [...]
Dear Peyton, We know that you have approached the selection process for your new team as deliberately and exhaustively as you have reviewed film for your upcoming opponents over the last 14 years. We know that due diligence is as much a part of your makeup as your mile-a-minute, Tourettes-like pre-snap chatter. We know patience [...]
This might be awkward. Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brady Quinn slammed Tim Tebow in an interview with GQ, calling the team “lucky” and disputing the common perception that he possesses a huge amount of humility. In the feature, done as an oral history, the former Notre Dame standout and current free agent said Tebow only [...]
Peyton Manning is unlikely to return as quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. Most scenarios point to him getting released sometime before March 8th.

Going into the playoff matchup between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, all eyes were on, surprise, Tim Tebow. Despite less-than-stellar numbers more often than not, Tebow showcased (yet again) that the Broncos unorthodox style still had some life in it. In defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, everyone —including all of Tebow’s detractors—were wondering [...]
Tim Tebow’s advice from John Elway before the National Football League playoffs was to “pull the trigger.” He did just that with a career-high 316 passing yards and the winning play in the Denver Broncos’ overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now Tebow gets another shot against the New England Patriots, who ended the second-year [...]
Not this time, Tim Tebow. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots shut down Tebow’s late-game heroics and clinched a playoff berth with a 41-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Patriots (11-3) won their sixth straight game and another AFC East title by bouncing back from an early 17-6 deficit and an [...]
The Denver Broncos don’t have a full-speed Willis McGahee available to lead the running game in Sunday’s AFC showdown against the New England Patriots. McGahee left the game in the first quarter with what was announced as a leg injury, and the Broncos listed him as probable to return. He wasn’t spotting again until returning [...]
