    As a Raider fan, I am pleased....now I can only hope and pray that they retire those irritating Papa John's commercials. Kudos to Mr. Manning. He and our beloved Charles Woodson should both be entering the HOF at the same time on the first ballot. Unfortuantely, the Broncos will have more cap space now.

    I thought Elway said it best, you can be 95% sure that it is time to retire, but the last 5% is the hardest.

    If I had Peyton's wallet, I'd be 100% sure. The problem for a lot of these top shelf players is what to do with those competitive juices after you retire. Most these guys are born and bred to be competitive, to be the best, how you translate that into retirement is tough.

    Wish him well though, class act, and I have a feeling we'll still be seeing his commercials.

    I'm sad to see him go but know it's for the best. I didn't think he anything left in the tank or any reason to prove anything.
    Now we shall see how the Bronco's Offense develops over the next season. I'm hoping they play a lot better then they did last year.

    My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.
