Awww: Peyton Manning Keep Away Was Planned

((ht: deadspin.com))

Aw heck, this kinda takes a little of the fun out of it.

If you weren't watching last night, in the midst of the Denver Broncos 42-17 destruction of the San Francisco 49ers, during the game, Peyton Manning broke the record for most TD passes of all time. That record was previously 508 and held by Brett Favre.

In fact he added to it by throwing 4 TD's in the game.

But TD pass 509, while impressive as heck, was almost overshadowed afterwards when Broncos receivers Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Wes Welker appeared to play keep away from Manning, who wanted the ball to mark the occasion.

And watching on TV, it was really, really funny.

But...

We've all been had. Demariyus Thomas said Peyton Manning himself planned the keep-away. Peyton had them practice it too.

Sad face....

It would have been a lot more fun had it been spontaneous, but it was still funny.

Here is some video from NBC Sports:

London Fletcher Trying To Keep MeAngelo In One Piece

((HT: CSNWashington))

MeAngelo DeAngelo Hall is this/close to getting a suspension and a fine for jaw-jacking with an official last Sunday.

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan thought out loud that if Emmanuel Sanders hadn't DDT'ed Hall it never would have happened...

But he is already trying to spin it his way to lay off any kind of damages...he went on the "LaVar and Dukes" Show on 106.7 The Fan in DC to talk about it. He actually wants an audience with the Commish...

Which is good, aggressive marketing on his part...

"From that particular camera angle you can't see what that ref's saying to me. So it looks like I'm just out there giving him a piece of my mind and he's smiling and walks away. And that's not the case at all. He's dishing it out just as much as I'm dishing it out."

"But me and the ref was equally at fault on that particular play," he said.
