Peyton Manning retires

[raleigh-panther]

NFL got its narrative

Manning rides to the sunset a toothless lion  on Von Miller's performance..a shoo in for HOF.

Good for him.  Good for the NFL.

something in me changed after that Super Bowl towards the NFL

after decades of watching the games, my observation is the NFL has a story it wants and the opposing team to overcome that narrative has to be flawless 

the panthers performance in the Super Bowl was bad enough but I would really like the NFL to explain, with the whole world watching, with cameras all over the field, with officials in the booth, with the supposed ability to call NY based officials, not one, not two, but three critical  calls were missed that absolutely helped  the outcome.

i know, the Panthers helped the implosion. Newton this, Remmers that and all the rest but three major calls?  With no plausible explanations?  With a crew that had officiated 5 other Broncos wins?

just stamp  'I'm stupid'  on my forehead.

 When I received my Panthers  invoice which went up 600 dollars from last year thanks to ticket prices and NC state tax, for the first time, I asked myself what I was doing with money worked so hard to earn.

I was always a huge fan of his as a player, going back to his college days, but I have to be honest, this super bowl experience and having MY team play patsy to the NFL, his storyline, and legacy, it has left me embittered.

He is an all-time great, he changed the game, and he is a HOFer.  All that being said, it makes it all the more difficult for me to celebrate his greatness at this point because he would've been all of those things I listed without having to benefit from a stolen super bowl win to cap off his career.  Congrats Peyton, thanks for the memories prior to this whole sham ass season of 2015, but fug Goodell and the NFL.

Think gagging is supposed to be gauging lol. I was reading it like wtf is gagging?

Cam is a 26 year old big kid haha.

[stirs]

I figured gagging was just cool internet speech or something

[RazorCat]

I wonder if he did steroids.  People like to say "no way, he's Manning."  but they said that about Bonds, McGuire, Arod, Sharapova,....

It's too tempting I guess, but I think he did.

I am trying really hard not to feel the same way. 20 min into the Super Bowl broke my heart because I knew there was no way we would win regardless if the Panthers played the rest of the game perfectly.  It was the best season ever iced with the biggest FU Goodell and the NFL could lay on my heart.  

I wish Peyton all the best and he has a legacy that will be there forever and a future HOF ballot.  He didn't need the "gift" to cement his legacy and a part of me is still unsettled.  This SuperBowl is tainted badly for me.

I was wondering what he was trying to say too and then I realized that it was a typo and that he meant gauging.

LMAO!

Cam is still the MAN though.

Why didn't Seattle get the memo?
