Manning a Bronco

The Denver Bronco's have managed to land the biggest free agent in the history of the NFL. Less than two weeks after being released by the only team he has ever known, Peyton Manning has decided he would like to join the Denver Bronco's and has instructed his agent to initiate negotiations on a contract with the defending AFC West Champions.

While the question of where Peyton will land has been answered, with this news come another question. What does this mean for the future of Tim Tebow? What it tells me for certain is that John Elway and the Bronco's management does not forsee Tebow as the answer at QB for the team who has been missing that franchise QB since Elway's retirement after back to back Superbowl titles. The fact that they are willing to bring in Manning who still has a number of questions surrounding his ability and conditioning following a fourth surgical procedure on his neck is all you need to know Tebow is done as a Bronco. So, who, if anybody wants Tebow and his wonky left arm, but an innate ability to win games? I can not really think of anyone in need of a QB, let alone somebody willing to take a chance on him. I would suggest that if Tebow does indeed land elsewhere, which is more than likely, he will not be a starter in his new home. The only teams I can think of who have questions at QB for next season are Miami and San Francisco, and Alex Smith will be the answer for one of them. Even then, I don't think either one brings in Tebow to run the show.

The question was posed on Twitter by Mitchell Blair as to who owns his CFL rights. I am not aware of who does but in a league with a bigger field, that left arm would not be successful in the Canadian game. Perhaps the sun is finally settling on a career that I never thought had a chance in the first place.

The Western Hockey League play - off's kick off this weekend, and without a doubt the best opening round series has the Moose Jaw Warrior's set to battle the Regina Pats. They had a very even season series, have despised one another for years, and should put on a pretty good show. I am not going to get into a ton of detail as to my thoughts on the WHL post - season but will conclude that I really would like to see the Kamloops Blazers come out of the west and see the East as being wide open. Edmonton may have been the best team in the league all season but let's not forget that this is just the second play - off berth for the Oil Kings. If you make me pick a final, give me Kamloops against Medicine Hat.

The NCAA touranment has eliminated 54 teams, leaving us with just the 'Sweet Sixteen'. My bracket was ruined Friday with my two National finalists, Michigan and Missouri BOTH losing. Not to mention Duke taking a first round exit for the first time that I can remember. Added to the confusion are key injuries suffered by both North Carolina and Kentucky. This tournament is far from over and I have no clue as to who, if anybody, has emerged as the favorite.
