Sports Racer is the most reeruned **** to ever be a member of CP since it's creation.

Clearly you don't know who Midnight_Vulture is.

LMAO

I took it the exact opposite. A cheapskate owner hoping his situation is the best and he doesn't have to get into a bidding war. Getting in front of the national media to make it look like we gave it our all so when shit goes south you can't say he didn't try.

When was the last time KC won a bidding war? Never, we just don't operate that way.

Clark's bidding on a new jet, not Manning

Thats not true, he can actually be pretty funny sometimes.

Slow your roll, n00b

He's absolutely not being aggressive enough. This little press thing is a pussyfoot way of going about seducing Peyton.

Look around. Bowlen's not hiding anything. And that's what Peyton is being drawn towards.

Just for once I'd like a Chiefs GM who can formulate nuance in their negotiating styles. Not everything is about ****ing secrecy.

Right now this Peyton thing is a dick-swinging contest. Clark showed up late and is refusing to take his pants off. So ****ing frustrating.

LMAO that's funny

You guys had to run Skip off....

This analogy works perfectly.

All of the coy, roundabout talk & inaction, not even a visit? how bad must this supposed phone 'offer' have been?

Yeah I was thinking that too.

How can a team offer someone a contract without even having an interview?

It's Friday, two days after he became a FA. There is all kinds of time for Manning to visit KC. Maybe he really does want KC and is looking at these others first to see if they can change his mind.

Yup. Spot on.

The regular season doesn't count. :#

League minimum plus $500,000 in incentives

Did anyone see Clark's interview?

I did, he was holding a martini & slurring something about... 'yeah i'm rich so what, mad about Manning? you gonna buy him? **** you!'

It's pretty obvious the Chiefs are the best option for Manning to win and get paid. They've got more money, better play makers, the better defense, and it's not like KC is the fridged northern tier of the US.

OTOH. The Cardinals have a suspect running game, are broke asses with 3 mil in cap space, have an averagea at best defense, and built an offensive line that might get Manning completly murdered yet they're everybody's hot pick in the street's and Mannings next destination after his feux business trip to Denver. So in my mind it's all about warm weather over everything. Peyton probably doesn't want to get a fan base riled up when he's got no desire to suffer like all the other plebians in the below 60 degree's markets. Makes sense why he hasn't mentioned the Chiefs and had his crew go out of their way to discourage the cold weather teams.

Daddy is going to make the decision for him. I don't like our chances.

Archie is annoying

Links?

No, you don't want that.

ROFL That sounds foreboding. Should I try to investigate?

There is a reason that his nickname is "Midnight Douche".

You can't say that you weren't warned.

Hunt confirms Chiefs pursuing Manning

Hunt confirms Chiefs pursuing Manning
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt confirmed in an interview with NBC Sports Network that was scheduled to air Friday evening that his team is pursuing free agent quartback Peyton Manning.

“I don’t know how important money will be to him, but I’m sure it will be part of the equation,” Hunt said. “He’s going to be looking for an environment that he’s comfortable in.”

He declined to say whether the Chiefs already have offered Manning a contract.

‘’I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to talk about discussions at this point,” Hunt said, “but he is somebody that we’ll want to talk to.”

About 48 hours after being released by the Indianapolis Colts, Manning met with Denver Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway and coach John Fox. The three chatted while taking a tour of the team’s practice field and heading to the weight room.

Arizona, Miami, Kansas City, Seattle, Tennessee, Washington and the New York Jets all are considered possible destinations; Manning’s former offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Tom Moore, worked for the Jets as a consultant last season.

It’s not very often that teams get a chance to sign a QB who’s thrown for more than 50,000 yards and nearly 400 touchdowns, been picked for 11 Pro Bowls, and been a Super Bowl MVP. Manning’s importance to the Colts’ success was never more apparent than last season, when their record plummeted to 2-14 without him.

Because he was released and went on the waiver wire Wednesday, Manning is allowed to negotiate and sign with any club immediately; he does not need to wait until the free-agent period that begins next Tuesday.
