tazinib1 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Peyton Manning (neck surgeries) has received medical clearance to resume his NFL career.The timing is a surprise after several sources claiming to be close to Manning told reporters early in the week that his career was in serious jeopardy. Gaining medical clearance doesn't guarantee that Manning will return to pre-injury form, but it's a positive sign that he has received the green light so early in the offseason. This would seem to increase the slim odds of Manning returning to the Colts, though the salary cap still looms as a prohibitive hurdle. Let the games begin!!!

stevegrab Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Once again proving that those who keep making statements about what Peyton will do (even those who are "close to him") don't know Athena. Maybe he promised the doctor a cut of the $28 million if the Colts don't release him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If Manning's camp leaked this news, it's pretty bush league to do it this week AND proof that Manning is the same as every other egotistical me-first athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 We doctors aren't worried about Peyton getting injured due to his surgery, but we have no clue as to whether he'll ever throw the ball again with enough velocity and accuracy to play the game? also, weren't they hoping to have this kind of news a few months ago? Ya mean he would be worse than Tebow in that department???? And fusion of the neck nerves don't exactly happen overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! Sounds painful. Fusion of the vertebrae would suck. Fusion of the nerves, that would be torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Let the games begin!!! No doubt! This is great news for Manning. It will be very interesting following this story the next few months. I think he is probably out in Indy but a few teams will pay huge dollars to land him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the ticket. I'm sure Manning rallied his "camp" and said "dudes, I'm all like missing the spotlight. It's all about me. So leak this to the press."

piratesownninjas Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Peyton Favre. Still waiting on the whole nerve regeneration thing to take. You know, the whole issue that may keep him from playing again? So much for Manning not wanting the week leading up to the SB to be about him.

It's all about me. So leak this to the press." If you don't think this was done on purpose, during the week where EVERY important decision maker for EVERY NFL team is in town, you are extremely naive. It's always about the player and how much money/attention they can get. My point is, if Manning is as classy and respectful of the Colts as all of his nut-huggers say he is, then he doesn't do it this week WHEN HIS BROTHER is trying to win a Super Bowl. Weak sauce, and judging how Eli made it to New York in the first place, completely in character for the Manning name.

Irsay and Manning said a week ago they need to handle this in house, together, and not in the press. And both have done nothing but interviews since then. Sickening honestly. It's sad that it's taking time away from reporting on the city and their efforts hosing the Super Bowl as well as covering the two teams in the game. Seriously, what does waiting 4 more days to release this information hurt?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furd Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That announcement doesn't mean much. It means that his neck has healed sufficiently. The real question is will he physically be able to play football. That's going to be mainly a question of arm strength, and its going to be some time before that question can be answered.

CaptainHook Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Whether Manning leaked it or not, they've done nothing but talk about it anyways. All kinds of reports surfacing every day. Ranging from "Peyton wants to play again" to "Peyton's gonna retire." Media have descended upon the city and they are all looking for a story.

Duchess Jack Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I don't see the timing as classless at all, even if it was done purposefully. Its a business and I don't think that this will steal any sunshine from the Giants or NEP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
