Back before the sports news world was dominated by stories about how stupid the Orlando Magic is for not giving Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets or how everyone should love and worship LeBron James now because he won the NBA Championship or how something called the Summer Olympics is about to happen, there was the NFL, which also had news. Chief among that news was Peyton Manning’s free agency, an occurrence that we never thought would happen.
But sure enough, it did and Manning, who said from the beginning that it was never about money, signed a 5-year deal worth $96 million with the Denver Broncos. So what do you do with that much money? You buy a $5 million home in your new town. And don’t worry, Manning will never have a shortage of places to poop.
Manning purchased the home for $4,575,000. The home was originally listed in March 2011 at $5.25 million.
Manning’s new home, according to the listing through Fuller Sotheby’s International Realty, is more than 16,000 square feet and sits on 3.37 acres. It includes seven bathrooms, separate media and billiard rooms, a “safe” room and an elevator. (Via the Denver Post)
Seven bathrooms. What do you even do with that? I like to think I’d be like my dog, who likes to poop in three different spots every time I take her out. I’d just pinch it off and run from bathroom to bathroom until I’m done.
Ah, back to the good jokes.


Doesn’t it seem odd that it’s set so close to what appears to be a main road?
I was thinking the same thing. A bit too accessible.
Short driveway and no pool! WTF! That main road is S. Colorado Blvd. which is heavily traveled by drunk suburbanites.
How wide are the halls and doorways? Will Peyton be able to get around once he’s got his halo installed on his feeble neck?
Eli’s crib is better. There, I said it.
Knowing Manning he’ll be mowing his own yard.
I like the fact that Manning was able to haggle him to drop the price about 3/4 a mil. Seeing as how he’s so strapped for cash.
Without the 8th shitter I hardly think you could go $5.25m!
I can’t see his yard. All I see is forehead.
