PEYTON MANNING HAS angrily fired back at a report that strongly suggested that he is unwilling to serve as the Denver Broncos’ back-up quarter-back when he is healthy enough to play, calling the report “bullshit and insulting”.
On Sunday, Ian Rapoport reported on the NFL Network about what he described as “a very uncomfortable and difficult situation,” concerning Manning’s status on the Broncos.
“It is a trying time for Peyton Manning who has always been a starter in his entire career,” Rapoport said. “[It] does not sound like he is inclined to be Brock Osweiler’s back-up. That is one issue, and one I am told he is pretty serious about.”
On the surface, this could just mean that Manning doesn’t want to be a back-up player, a fair sentiment for anybody as every player wants to be a starter. However, Rapoport took it a step further.
Rich Eisen, seemingly seeking to clarify the comments, asked Rapoport if we would see a healthy Manning serving as a backup quarterback: ”My understanding is [that] is not, not going to happen,” Rapoport responded.
Following the Broncos’ defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Manning was asked about the report: “It’s bullshit and it’s insulting,” Manning said.
John Elway, the Broncos’ executive VP of football operations and general manager, also denied that Manning has made any demands about playing time.
What is unclear at this point is exactly what Manning was asked and what he and Elway thought the report said.
There was confusion in the media, with some reports saying Manning had told the team he would not serve as a backup.
However, there is no indication that Rapoport ever reported any demands being made by Manning, only that ”there are plenty of people who know that Peyton does not want to be the backup.”
Again, that Manning would want to start when healthy is probably a safe assumption that most people would make.
Let’s just stick to the food and drink log for the next few days.

And don’t grunt like a spa when you lift 45lbs in the gym.
Amen
Or grunt like a ape or make noises like chunky out of the goonies as soon as a a female is within ear shot.
Watch all the people joining gyms now and paying a FULL YEAR’S subscription and only going twice in January
The gyms must be laughing their heads off!
Writing stuff down, there must be an easier way.
Maybe you can download an app and scan the pack of whatever you eat
There’s an app called “my fitness pal” for that. It’s very good!
Start off slow people if you haven’t trained in a while or when you are switching training programs. I mixed high intensity weight training with an already hectic job this time last year and I got rhabdomyolysis and nearly died.
Rhabdomyolysis can be caused by a number of things including things like Crossfit. Its where your muscles strip down and flow into the blood stream and overload the kidneys, which causes failure and sometimes death.
In the New Year start from where you are at and gradually move into strenuous exercise. Think long term gains instead of short term goals that cause injury.
