2. Still a week to go, but he may sit next week

Looks like they'll have home field wrapped up.

Best ever.

6. I think he's less than 300 yards from the single season yardage record. Hopefully he will play

and break that one, too.

3. I thought he was all washed-up.

Was he not unceremoniously dumped by that refugee team? (ex-Baltimore, ex Old NFL)

[Duppers]

4. what the hell are you talking about ??

Peyton has never been dumped.

You're forgetting he had a neck injury and had to have an operation, so he couldn't be the quarterback for Indianapolis until he recovered.

In the meanwhile Luck was hired with Peyton's blessing. He was not summarily dropped .

10. Left as free agent

7. Sometimes he seems like a machine...whatever. Go Broncos!

13. Late Breaking When I Posted It

It was late breaking news when I posted it in the LBN section. So, should all sports stories be posted in the sports section, even when the sports story is late breaking news?

14. We're leaving it.

Rules aren't crystal clear about sports and LBN. It wasn't about the 12 hour rule so much as if it's of national interest to a wide number of people.

While a superbowl or League win might be LBN big news, a personal best for an athlete wouldn't be, but this wasn't just a personal best.

As it turns out, this is a record being set for the NFL and, as such is fairly big news.

15. Thank You

Thank you for the information.

9. He's a hero I tells ya.

11. Revoke the NFL's tax exemption.

That is the only time I will care about DuhFootbawl.

12. The Texans are having a horrible year

This result does not surprise anyone
