It's south beach, yo. Jersey Shore with real tans!

Except the cigars! ;)

Jesus Christ, the rest of the country has NO CLUE about our roster.

And these:

I had underestimated the level of disrespect we get from the national media until a few days ago. Now it's painfully clear how they think of us.

Probably not, but they do have a clue about the management

Apparently the Dolphins just have 10.2 million in cap space and would have to restructure Jake Long and couple of other contracts to free up room, at least that is what John Clayton is saying. So Miami might not be as strong a contender as everyone thinks.

It's Arizona that worries me the most honestly. God damn Larry Fitzgerald....

Report: Peyton Manning doesn't want to play for the Washington Redskins. — @Michael_Fabiano via Twitter

I think AZ has even less cap room. They would need to dump Kolb for sure.

Does this sound like a team that gonna go after manning and get him?

Hoarding cash for this very thing?

I would say Duh to that....not sure why the national media seemed to think Washington was a frontrunner....Peyton was never going to play in the same division as Eli.

It's always possible that some kind of huge splash like this was their plan all along.

Um...yes?

mecca, is that you?

What the **** does this have to do with anything?

If anything, that's a list of stop gap veterans...so, I would have to answer that question with a "yes"

Don't forget that they spent big money on Cassel to be the qb...it didn't work and now they have a chance at the best FA qb EVER.

It would be a move that makes sense from every single angle possible.

Everything points to Manning signing with Miami..both sides want it..perfect fit!

Yeah.......no

Well, it's settled then. The Enzyte huckster says so!

Aaron Wilson ‏ @RavensInsider Close
@JarredRay90 I think the Dolphins remain the frontrunner, but wouldn't rule out the Chiefs getting involved.

Aaron Wilson seems to be spot on with his Chiefs stuff. I would've preferred his tweet say that the Chiefs were the front runner though.

Yeah Harbaugh took less money to coach the 49ers and Fisher picked the Rams over the Dolphins. I'm sure Manning will want to play for Miami.

This makes me sad. :(

Evan Silva ‏ @evansilva Close
ESPN's John Clayton said on NFL Live that the frontrunner for Manning is "clearly" the #Dolphins. Says Stephen Ross "has" to get this done.

Ughhh hate hearing all this dolphins talk

Ross is likely to throw crazy money at the guy.


I just don't see why you would want to go to a team that would have to beat Tom Brady to get to the playoff.

Yup.

I have a feeling the deal will be done in the next 48 hours and he will be a phin.

:(

If true, then Manning isn't getting back to the SB. Couldn't pick a more difficult road to go through.

remember when Harbaugh was all but set for Miami and Fisher too? The more I hear about Miami, the less likely I am to believe it.

You also gotta think about hte Front office differences. No one really knows what is going on at Arrowhead but Pioli.


The phins are likely being very vocal to amp all this up .

what about cap space?

Agreed, it won't be easy at all with the Jets and Pats.

Good point, hope thats the case too

And face the Jets D twice a year. If he goes to Miami his chances to go the SB decrease a bunch. There's a big chance they don't even make the playoffs. With KC he cann all but waltz to a division crown and a home playoff game.

If Peyton goes to Miami it'll turn out to be just a paid retirement.

It would not be surprising, but I am just not sure where all the Dolphin love is coming from. They don't have a lot of cash, so not only would it be tight for them to sign Manning...they could not sign Wayne or Saturday as well. Also, not sure if Peyton wants to go up against Brady twice a year. The road to the playoffs is tough in the AFC East with New England and the Jets there.

I think Peyton wants to win now, and the money is important, but a team just has to have enough to give him a big contract, but not necessarily a ball busting one...just enough to show Peyton the proper respect.

It will be an interesting week.

Patience. Remember there was a time where Albert Pujols was choosing between the Cards and Marlins, and the Angels "weren't interested." These things never work out like the initial reports say they will.

As you might expect, Manning's winning % outdoors drops each month: Sept 70%, Oct 68%, Nov 65.5%, Dec/Jan 56.5% http://es.pn/z7Axdj

Yeah i hope we are that quiet team that comes out of nowhere like the angels

I wonder if the league has any say in this.

I'm sure they would like Manning in Miami.

I do think MIA has the second best team next to ours. They are going to push hard and are in warm weather. Those are things that I think will matter big to him. Things we have are a weaker division and better roster. I don't think MIA will have an issue with money. Somehow they will manage to match us at the least.

That said... I'm not sure I buy into the idea that Manning is going to avoid certain teams or divisions because of who is in them. He's likely going to have to go through Brady to win the AFC either way.

Seriously, you're a ****ing buzzkill...

Thanks for bringing that up. :#

Depends. Sabathia to the Yankees, Brad Richards to the Rangers. Those were pegged well in advance and played out to the letter. It depends on the situation.

I was going to reference that as well. The louder the team talk gets, the more unlikely.

Yeah not every game will be played in Miami.

While this is true, keep in mind that the Colts have always built their teams to be dome teams, and dome teams typical struggle the colder it is. The Chiefs are built to handle the elements...and Peyton has had no trouble winning in Arrowhead in cold weather, he has done it before in Jan.

i remember Nnamdi Asomugha was a sure fire to the Jets then midnight hit and the ****ing entire city of Philadelphia was sitting there for the cockblock

He will play 8 in Miami and atleast three in the upper east coast area, likely late in the year.

It's more likely a symptom of the team than Manning himself.

:BS: stat. The colts freaking sit their starters in the end of Dec/Jan. I would also like to see a stat on any other franchise QB in similar comparison. I believe that you'd see very similar results. :shake:

It was like 50 or 60 degrees the time he won @ Arrowhead in the playoffs.

I say so, too. He won the Super Bowl in a heavy down pour. He can handle the elements.

Not sure if serious?

Plus, every offense got a warm feeling going against Gregg Robinson.

ROFL Rep sir!!

Yep. You have to be able to handle the elements to be so successful for such a long long time in the NFL.

not get all bosschief on you, but how do we know he can throw in cold weather?

his balls might just fall to the ground like dead ducks

Ok, all this talk about weather, he would play 8 games in KC, half of which are reasonable weather wise? Then another 3 on the west coast. So thats at least 7 games in decent weather..plus Im sure the Chiefs play in a dome or two each year...

I found the weather angle sell for peyton;-)

It was. During the one punt game it was supposed to be cold and it ended up being like 55 degrees that day. Should have known it was a sign kc was gonna lose :(

Same as Matt Cassel in any weather.

I don't remember the 03 game being quite that warm, but it was not the frozen tundra either. It was a very sunny day, a great day for football, but I do not think it was 60 degreees.

Dude, if Trent Green can put up 4,000 yard seasons in KC like it's nothing, so can Manning.

Justin Mastrantuoni ‏ @JMastrantuoni Close
@OmarKelly SMH to all the KC fans. Their OLine is terrible and so is their weather. Dolphins > Chiefs

justin Ross ‏ @LakerFanJR22 Close
@OmarKelly dudes r crazy thinking chiefs have better players than Miami! Especially on defense...

These people are homers, not football guru's like us here on CP. :)

:spock: Who?

It's kinda funny that we are talking about weather as a factor. FFS this is football.


I know it probably will matter, but still kinda shitty.


Gotta remember too that the Chiefs defense is really young . People don't know much about them

dude, t'was a joke....Mannings broken nose could throw for more yards than a pussy like cassel

ROFL

Jersey Shore with real tans indeed...

I know one thing, I'm ready for the guy to sign somewhere. Just to end all this bullshit.

Peyton Manning Brings Out The Flight Tracking And Petitions In KC


Nothing like NFL fans in clamoring for a player in free agency. We grasp for any straw we can to make ourselves think our team has a shot at the big player on the market.

This year, it appears the Kansas City Chiefs may very well be involved in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. It's not really grasping straws when reports say KC has approached Manning's camp and others are saying the Chiefs are one of a handful of teams that have a shot.

But, this is still free agency, which means as fans we are going to convince ourselves that Manning-to-KC is possible. A few examples...

The time honored tradition of tracking planes via FlightAware.com continues. Someone sent me a link which shows a jet leaving KC today and heading to Miami, the same airport Manning flew into this week. Nope, no idea if that's related at all (but I bet a bunch of people, who have probably already stopped reading by this point, will start to say that we're reporting the Chiefs are flying down to Miami).

I also saw someone tweet out a link to a petition. Yes, a "Bring Manning to KC" petition. Because front offices always listen to those.

And then I also heard Bob Fescoe mention the other day that the Colts Stadium, Lucas Oil, is located on...S Missouri St. A sign?

If only this could come down to the Cardinals and Chiefs fighting over a star quarterback. That's never happened before, right?

pioli and Hunt in MIAMI!!!!! Wonder if they are therye to sign with the Dolphins?:hmmm:

Really.

I'll say it again.

I NEVER said Barkley couldn't do it, just that he hadn't.

Sorry that you have trouble reading and all.....

Are you flip flopping now, or are you still clinging to your stance that you don't want Manning here?

Also, the stance that Cassel will be the unquestioned starter again next year?....you coming off that one yet, or are you going down with the ship...which is admirable in a way.

Any real news yet?

not till next week.
