Peyton is going to Denver

And in other news, Peyton Manning has apparently chosen to play for the Denver Broncos.

I find this a little surprising, but not overly, and very . . . helpful.

A little surprising in that, as a Bronco, he will be playing the vast majority of his games outside. We'll see how well his penchant for precision translates from a controlled climate into the natural elements. I thought maybe Arizona might have been a better fit, but they re-signed Kevin Kolb recently.

Not overly in that the Broncos seem to have a good core to work with and a fairly decent defense.

And helpful in that he didn't choose to play for San Francisco. Had he gone there, my Seattle Seahawks would have had to face him twice every year. The Hawks now have a much better chance at being playoff bound, especially since they just signed Matt Flynn; after all, the last backup quarterback from Green Bay that they signed worked out pretty darn well.
