If you watch any national sports shows, it’s easy to see that people aren’t overly high on Peyton Manning right now. In fact, it seems like national media has been flat out eager for the Denver Broncos quarterback’s eventual decline, and seeing him play poorly in the season opener against (a very, very good) Baltimore Ravens defense was apparently all the ammunition they needed in order to cover him with a massive umbrella of shade.
In particular, ‘His and Hers’ host Jemele Hill went in on Manning, saying — among other things — that he is ‘washed’ and that while he’s mentally there, physically he’s basically done.
