Here’s the latest, from Bob Allen of KTRK-TV in Houston: “Someone I know who is close friends with the Manning family says Peyton is definitely interested in possibly coming to the Texans. Peyton will be released by the Colts early next month and will be a free agent. The person who knows the Mannings says Peyton wants to play on a team that has a chance of going to a Super Bowl, and the Texans fit that description.”

Am I missing something? Chiefs have all the tools in place (minus a couple O-Line pieces) to make a run as well...not to mention the most amount of cap space to fulfill the monster contract it will take to get him.

Very serious.

Peyton has a brain tumor on his liver.

Peyton knows that Cassel is the starter here, so he isn't going to bother wasting his time in negotiations with Pioli.

That being said, this is shaping up to be Favre, Part 2. Who is going to play the role of the Jets, allowing Manning to play there a year before moving on to one of the Colts' biggest division rivals?

The Texans are MUCH close to contending for a SB than the Chiefs. The Texans DID something (with a 3-string QB no less) that the Chiefs haven't done in 18 years: they won a fricking playoff game....

Texans defense is legit. They were top 5 across the board and that was without Mario Williams. Then you'd have Foster in the backfield and Andre Johnson at wideout. I think the Texans could've won the AFC if they'd stayed healthy. It would make sense.

Just got off the phone with Peytons grandma, mark it down.

That's fine, give me Matt Schaub.

I totally agree on that.

Here's the latest from Houston Sportswriter/NFL guru, John McClain:

And forget about anything involving Peyton Manning coming to the Texans.


The Texans are cap-strapped. There's no way they can afford Manning, and keep other key free agents.

Saw Peyton Manning at the Overland Park Best Buy last night. He was in the CD section. I passed by him and said "Go Chiefs!" and he was wearing a red sweatshirt and winked at me w/ a thumbs up. I think he's ready to go.

I knew that Matt Schaub was hurt, but I didn't know that he had apparently died.

This can't be anything more than a smokescreen.

Do you believe the national media thinks the Chiefs aren't in the hunt because

A. The owner is too cheap?
B. They are satisfied with Cassel?
C. The GM doesn't let any information slip?
D. All of the above

At least if he signs there we can start accurately using the "Everything is bigger in Texas" saying again with regard to his forehead.

I bet he told the Texans, "If you don't sign me, I'm going to kick your *** for the previous ten years."
