Just heard an interview with Peyton Manning at a Boys Scout breakfast this morning. His first interview with the Denver press since the Super Bowl. Nothing too earth shattering but here's what I remember he said:
He hasn't watched Super Bowl replay ("I don't watch replays of losses"). He didn't want to talk about the Super Bowl much.
Excited about new free agent acquisitions but at the same time will miss the players departing (mentioned Zane and Champ)
Had good workouts at Duke with the Bronco receivers and Julius Thomas, said it was good to connect with Sanders for the first time.
Didn't reach out to Ware before he signed, but has talked to him since. Eli told Peyton he's glad Ware is out of the NFC East. Peyton said Talib was always tough to play against.
Montee Ball had a great year last year, Knowshon was awesome but Montee will now have more responsibilities and he will answer that challenge. Has the work ethic to succeed. "I look forward to having a full offseason with Montee."
Vic Lombardi said Peyton Manning declined a one to one interview with Vic or anyone else. Instead he preferred a mass interview. Vic was disappointed because in a group setting can't ask the tougher questions he wanted.
