Peyton Manning

[Clive]

One cast-iron bastard:

Manning ranks second on the NFL's consecutive starts list for quarterbacks, behind Brett Favre. He has started 156 consecutive games, including the playoffs.

In fact, Manning has missed only one play because of injury in his nine-year pro career, that coming in a 2001 game against Miami.

He was injured when Dolphins defensive end Lorenzo Bromell made a helmet-to-helmet hit underneath Manning's chin strap. Manning was bloodied and sustained a fractured jaw. Backup Mark Rypien replaced Manning, botched the handoff on the ensuing play and the Dolphins returned the fumble for a touchdown. Bromell was later fined for the hit.

"Rub some dirt on it!"  Wow.

Think I remember he had his jaw wired and played the following week.

[birdymaker]

his jaw SHOULD be wired shut. while they are at it get his old man also.

The only thing that I think that he may have said that might have ticked off the organization was calling his kicker an idiot.

I think him calling out his defense a couple of weeks back motivated them to play better.

True, and in the end it turned out that the kicker really was an idiot, and an overrated one at that.
