rumors of a noodle-armed peyton, on his way to DC are apparently all over the place.
and one thing i've heard a lot of is that the giants wont give mario manninham a contract at the level that some are predicting he will get after his super bowl performance.... i will not be surprised at all if little danny snyder decides to overpay for the giants 3rd receiver.

and if not? well then it will be just as enjoyable to watch them both crash and burn.... sorry mario... can't keep rooting for you if you go to dallas, philly or dc... its part of the rules.
My rage regarding Manning coming to DC has reached the boiling point. I've been ignoring online articles and switching radio stations because I find it so boring (I find it ludicrous to spend this much time speculating when nobody has any idea) and also completely terrifying.
ReplyDeleteHere's why I don't want Manning here: he's 36, his arm is completely out of shape, his neck - which is a kind of a vital body part - is in shambles, and the Redskins team doctors are slightly more competent than the Mets team doctors. Manning's been getting shark piss shot up his nose in Europe for the past 6 months, how are the Skins supposed to figure out how to treat him?
But beyond that, this is such a blatant "Redskins" move. Signing expensive free agents that have been disregarded by their former team - this is a red flag to most teams. To the Redskins, its more akin to the red cape matadors wave at bull...and they charge right for it. Move up to get Griffith or Luck (if available), stockpile draft picks, get younger. I'm down with another season of Sexy Rexy if need be.
And I don't want freaking Manningham either. Give me a break.

ReplyDeletedid you just casually quote the Cutting Edge?
Ha, that was for you Sponty. I know its actually "shark piss up my nose in Mexico" but I had to change it so it would align with Mannings treatments in Europe. Hope you were not offended.
ReplyDeleteThis is yet another steal from the DC Sports Bog; these are quotes from John Feinstein and former Skins beat reporter Jason LaConfora about WHY Manning would ever want to come to DC in the first place...
ReplyDelete“See, that’s the question, that’s a very good question, because that’s the one nobody seems to be raising,” Feinstein said. “You’re 36 years old, you’ve got a major neck problem, you probably only have so many hits left in you — why would you go to a team with a questionable at best offensive line, where the guy who’s most important to you sat out the last four games because he tested positive for recreational drugs, an organization that is constantly in flux?
“Other than Dan Snyder going into his wallet and giving him guaranteed money where other people are more likely to give him an incentive-laden contract, I can’t think of a single reason why Peyton Manning would want to come here....The only reason Peyton Manning would come to Washington would be if the money was so much better than anybody else. Because no matter how much these guys make, no matter how much they have made, it is still about money, not only because they want to put it in their bank account, but because it’s an ego thing like it is with everybody.”
“I can’t,” JLC said. “Other than throwing some kind of crazy cockamamie contract in front of him, I don’t see why Tom Condon would put Peyton Manning there, and I don’t see why Peyton Manning would want to go there. I mean, they’re still rebuilding an offensive line, there’s question marks up and down the roster, there are skill players right now of any merit. There just aren’t. I mean, Fred Davis is the game-breaker on offense, and the next time he gets caught smoking pot he sits down for a year. I mean, I don’t know how you sell him.
“Do you sell the facilities? You can’t. Do you sell the division? Well, does he really want to butt heads with his brother twice a year? Does he really want that sideshow and all that hype? Probably not. I don’t see it. You can’t sell the roster. The coaching staff, in two years they’ve won one less game than Jim Zorn.
“It’s a difficult sell, and I don’t frankly see it happening. I don’t see Peyton in a Mike Shanahan offense. I mean, you’ve got Mike and Kyle Shanahan who have micro-managed everything there? Are they really gonna turn it over to a 36-year old injured Peyton Manning and say yeah, call all the plays at the line of scrimmage, you run the offense, take over OTA’s, it’s all you Peyton, we’re just gonna sit back and watch?”
Agree 100%. No way Manning would ever want to come to DC.
There, of course, this one thing that still terrifies me: "Other than throwing some kind of crazycockamamie contract in front of him..."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, this is totally within the realm of possibility with Snyder. (head bangs off desk)
Sponty Sighting.
