Before anyone barges in here with pitchforks and gunpowder, please remember that I am a Miami Dolphins fan and I’m incredibly bitter about my favorite NFL team’s struggles. That said, I’m not exactly on the same page just yet as the people who are behind the new website, Manning To Miami.
In case you’ve been living under Chad Henne’s helmet, there’s a strong possibility that the Indianapolis Colts will release Peyton Manning instead of paying him his $28 million bonus in a week, because of that whole four neck surgeries in a year thing. So of course the QB-starved Dolphins fans want GM Jeff Ireland to jump all over Manning so he can come in and not be healthy in a Miami uniform.
Be Part OF “The Movement” and Make History – BRING MANNING TO MIAMI – This site has been created to help influence Peyton Manning and the Miami Dolphins that “Manning to Miami” is a movement and marriage that the entire South Florida community is behind. Tell family, friends (even enemies), tell co-workers, business associates to cast their vote and make a difference in Bringing Manning to Miami.
Ugggggggggh, this is why we can’t have nice things, Miami.
If Manning is healthy, then obviously fans of any team – short of the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Detroit Lions and New York Giants – should want him in their uniform. But he’s not healthy, as far as we know, otherwise the Colts wouldn’t be looking at dumping their instant Hall of Fame inductee.
I mean, if I’m the Dolphins GM and I’m looking at what the team needs, I’m signing a quality pass rusher, a second stud receiver (*cough* Pierre Garcon *cough*) and some more depth on the offensive line. Then, if he wants to play for a reasonable price and there aren’t a few dozen question marks floating over his health, I’ll take a shot at Manning.
But my biggest concern is that if the Dolphins do sign him, Miami fans are going to turn the obnoxious up to 11. Spoiler alert: They will.

Slow day,
As a Jets fan lets me start by saying the obligatory go fuck yourself to the fins fans.
Manning has NY in his sights.
1) Tom Moore is his guy.
2) Do you think hiring Sporano was with getting Sanchez to take the next step? If so go hit yourself in the fact with a tack hammer. We don’t need you anymore.
3) It’s NY! Has anyone seen how much Payton hates being in commercials? Really?
4) Besides SF they are the only other team ready to make the SB run.
5) The Super Bowl is in NY next year.
If Peyton comes to NY next year he could throw a hooker of the Empire State building each week and I would still happily root for him. Hell I would praise his technique. “Did you see how he launched that hooker outwards and used his legs? He is the best hooker thrower ever!”
He is a damn fine hooker thrower.
It’s a dying art form.
I don’t think Peyton really cares where the SB is next year. Btw, it’s New Orleans not NY/NJ.
/that guy
Dont try and muddy the water with your facts and logic. So he win in his home town then as tribute to my awesomeness he wins in my city. Even though I now live in Atlanta for the past 13 years.
Peyton will look great in Green and White.
Look, I’m as big a Jets fan as the next guy, but…
1) Tom Moore probably isn’t returning to Gang Green this year. He enjoyed the one year, but he’s old, and with all the coaching shake-ups he may just pack it in (if he even gets asked back).
2) No, I don’t think Sparano is supposed to get Sanchez to the next step. But I don’t think he’s going to lure Peyton to the swamp, either. Sparano is run, run, run the ball, which suits Nacho more that Fetushead.
3) Pretty sure Peyton could be in commercials in Miami, or Washington, or Wichita.
4) I can only assume that you mean the Jets are the only team besides SF that have a shitty QB poised to make a SB run, otherwise you would have listed GB, NYG, NE, BAL (well, Flacco sucks too, but you get the point). However, there are plenty of teams that may be poised to contend in the parity-rules league.
5) As UU already said, the NY/NJ SB is 2014, so it doesn’t make a hell of a difference even if Manning cared to be on the team that hosted the Super Bowl AGAIN.
That being said, if by some small miracle Manning came to the Jets, I’d gladly secretly donate stem cells to help find a cure for NeckAIDS.
Tom Moore already agreed to stay. Could be wrong on that but I have read that a few times.
Your point about Sporano makes my point. Peyton comes in and he and Moore run the offense. Sporano focuses on the O-line and running game. We had Bill Callahan do the same for years. It would not be the first head coach to do so.
NY is the Media cap of the world and Peyton would take that place by storm. See Lin for any example needed and if Lin any Yankee that got one hit at anytime and was declared the next Mantle.
Jets and SF are the only 2 that have the base group to win it all. Do you see Harbaugh letting Peyton run things?
I give on the loc of the SB thing. That was just after I got done sniffing whiteout at my desk. Was a little hazy.
When will they cure the scourge of NeckAids. Wont someone think of the children!?!?!
Fuck the Jets. The lugnuts are loose, and the wheels are getting ready to fall off.
Dear Miami,
Please sign Manning so that Washington can vastly overpay Matt Flynn so that the Browns don’t have to trade up for RGIII.
Thanks,
Cleveland
Yikes, Cleveland! Whitney Houston is doing better than that city,
Is it even a city anymore? Did they change their motto to “Hey At Least We’re not Detroit!” yet?
The Jets still lick Brady’s balls, so there’s that.
Joel; really?? You said that?
Peyton on his cell: “hey Eli, what’s happening? Yeah, you know how we (apparently) have a great relationship and we’re brothers and everything? So, ummmm, f you because I’m coming to your city because I’m apparently not a big enough star unless NYC says so.”
Eli: “You mean the city where I already won two Super Bowls…and you’re going to play for a team that hasn’t been in the big game since the 60s and their locker room is a mess and their coach won’t shut up?”
Peyton: “I’ll talk to you later. I have to call my agent back and fire him.”
