If true that would be crazy, but I still just don't believe it.

Thus begins the Luck error!

Long term health over being crippled...i think one of their Brother is Wheel Chair Bound. I think Peyton looked at that and probably say i wouldn't want to be in that situation. He will be a HOFer and he already won the Big one. No Shame in walking away while you can. It's not like he won't ever get hit again playing in the NFL...He was one of the Best and a pleasure to watch.

IF this is true, I think it is the right thing for Manning to do. He doesn't need to put his health and well being in jeopardy to continue playing. Plus, IF this is true, you have to wonder if the firing of Caldwell and the release of the Polian's played into his decision.

IF it's true, GL to you Peyton, and get into acting!
