Peyton Manning is known for his extremely good quarterbacking skills, his ability to tell jokes with the best of them, and well ... his injuries. On Tuesday, Peyton was added to the injury report for a sore back from taking a few shots during Week 1 of the NFL season. Upon Peyton being asked about his name appearing on the injury report, he quickly turned the the tables and began to create an injury report for media members. The following transcript comes from our Broncos blog, Mile High Report:
Peyton Manning creates media injury report, diagnoses reporter with carpal tunnel from texting sources
“Paging Dr. Manning”
- “Let me start with [KUSA reporter Mike] Klis,” Manning said. “The carpal tunnel from all the texting of his sources. Who else?”
- “D-Mac (104.3 The Fan host Darren McKee), the laryngitis from ripping me all week. The rash that he has that’s unidentified. The fact that he’s still is here every day to overcome that, I think it admirable.”
- ”[Denver Post reporter] Woody [Paige], in my opinion, is probably the healthiest of all of you, and this is not a healthy group by any means. But Woody is healthy. Who else?
- “[USA Today reporter] Lindsay Jones—the bunions from all the travel to the West Coast.”
- “[Denver Post columnist Mark] Kiszla also—Kislza’s got gout for sure. I know he’s got gout, but he never complains about it.”
It appears Dr. Manning has arrived and he seems pretty darn accurate. You can watch the full video here.
