In Broncos news tonight, Denver Broncos starting quarterback Peyton Manning reached out to his former boss with the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Irsay, after Irsay's arrest for intoxicated driving and felony possession of a controlled substance.
According to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, "Manning says he reached out to Irsay. But Manning declined to get into what was said."
“That’s a private topic,” Manning said via the Associated Press. “It’s very private and very personal.”
As Smith writes, "Peyton Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay have a complicated relationship. Irsay has said many times that he’s thankful for everything Manning did during his tenure with the Colts, but Irsay also cut Manning — and took some veiled swipes at Manning last season, both before and after the Colts beat the Broncos in the regular season."
The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts meet in NBC's first Sunday Night Football broadcast of the 2014 NFL season.
