Report: Peyton Manning will retire

Peyton, Archie and the Broncos all deny retirement report. They claim that he has yet to come to a decision on whether or not he will come back for another year in the NFL. However, it is more likely that Peyton (as believed most appropriate by the post above) wants to and will personally make the announcement of his retirement known on his own terms......not through leaks.

Social media is a good thing because it brings important accusations to our attention a lot faster. Important things we would have swept under the rug back in the old days.

If he holds a press conference for his retirement I'm sure there will be more than one good reporter who brings up, you know, that sensitive sexual assault incident he was accused of regarding his female trainer at Tennessee back in 1996?

And let me guess, he will refuse to discuss it in the "ever so gentleman way" that Peyton Manning is perceived to be and known for. Right? I'm just not feeling any respect for Peyton Manning anymore. Too many things lead me to believe he's been lying about what really happened back in 1996.

If he retires or not, I don't care anymore.

I feel a lot of respect for that courageous woman who's been working hard all of these years, who's reputation he tarnished for the past 20 years. She even lost a few prestigious jobs as the director of the athletic trainer's program at good campuses because of Peyton Manning's lies.

It wouldn't shock me if Peyton Manning pulls a Kobe Byant and announces his retirement on that player's tribune on-line site. The one that Derek Jeter owns a major stake in.

And a lot of people still celebrate both athletes. Not me though.

Maybe nobody cares until a similar incident happens to somebody they know and care about. Their friend, their daugter, etc... etc... You have to have more respect for women, especially inside the locker room. I understand he was a college kid back then and most of us do dumb things in college but own up to it and move on. This has been lingering for 20 years and affecting the lives of multiple people.

I'd probably have more respect for Peyton Manning if he just came out and admitted his mistakes and apologized for his actions 20 years ago. We can learn to forgive but never forget. Continuing to deny, lie and dodge the controversy just rubs me the wrong way.

Maybe it's just me but I have a hard time giving kudos and praise to somebody like that. This is the last time I want to write about Peyton Manning until he opens up about that incident publicly and gives all of us some concrete answers. After 20 years it's ridiculous to continue to deny, deny and deny. And then on top of that to lie, lie and lie.

The article is speculation. There's no source that has confirmed anything - it reads as "I've talked to Elway's people and Manning's people and Belichick's people and they think he's going to announce his retirement before contracts become an issue". I got the same information by asking the people on my street, many of which know who Peyton Manning is. Woody's just stating the obvious, and getting a lot of clicks for it.

You might be right about both Manning and That Woman. Then again you could be totally wrong. I don't know so I won't conjecture about it.
