Manning: "This might be my last rodeo."
On the intro to NFL Total Access they mic'd the sound between Manning and Belichick's handshake after the game and he said, "Hey listen... This might be my last rodeo, so it sure has been a pleasure."
I think we've all suspected it, but that's the first time I've heard him say it. I assume the audio will be available on NFL.com at some point.
RIP Little Buddy
Wow, Belichick is considering retiring?

Found it on Twitter - the quote was clear as day.

He still said, "might," so no more than what's always true for all players, but you're right that's still the closest he's ever come to saying it in public (or semi-public; no shock at least one of them was micced.) Hell, dude just won the AFCCG and there are STILL plenty of fans who wish Oz were starting NOW. We still have to debate whether BARELY missing Sanders and Norwood on TDs "prove the old man's lost it" (and never mind his OTHER two TDs, including an arcing beauty over a defender to Daniels in the corner.) I'm sure he's not glued to the media, but he doesn't live in a cave either, so just as surely knows what the fans are saying: Good AND bad.
Bottom line though he's pushing 40, his body's been through Hell for years, our line's still Swiss cheese and he's in the SB when he's probably the healthiest he'll EVER be at the end of playing season. It's time to accept that if he can't get that second Ring now, he simply can't get it PERIOD. While he still remembers his kids' names.
Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. —Jaded

God I hope so. I'm tired of the Pats.

I have been vocal about his poor play this year, but I hope that he gets to go out on top. Of course that is good for the Broncos, but I'd say the same thing if he played for another team (not name Chiefs or Raiders).
He has had some great seasons here and helped a team that was going nowhere (thanks to douchebag McD). He has always been a role model and contributed a lot back to Denver and fans. I wish him well and hope he comes out firing on all cylinders like he did against Green Bay earlier this year. I also hope the team lays it all on the line for him and for each other.
Peyton Manning, for all you have done as a Bronco....

I think he already told the coaches and teammates. Just wants to keep it quiet so its not a distraction. We haven't seen the defense play with the kind of tenacity and fire like they did against the Pats all season. They are fired up and focused. Hopefully our offense can get their fire lit so we can play a complete game for once.
I think the team is inspired because they already know this is Peyton's last dance.

Manning told Belichick that this may be his last rodeo after the game Sunday

On a side note how fun was it to see the camera pan over to McD and see the level of frustration on his face because of the defense? lmao
Drinks?
We all knew it. Also, if anybody recorded the game, relisten to Peyton's post game speech on the field where he starts off with "It sure has been a great 4 years in Denver" and thanks the fans. He doesn't come out and say it, but it was totally a goodbye and thank you speech.

No surprise. You can tell with his play that he is now a game manager and using his brain over arm.
RIP Little Buddy
