Manning finally explains his 'last rodeo' remark

SAN JOSE -- There was no hiding for Peyton Manning. Faced with the prospect of sitting at a podium for an hour on Media Day at Super Bowl 50, Manning was locked into getting questioned about his potential retirement in the wake of comments to Bill Belichick about his "last rodeo."

His only real defense? Humor.

"I'm going to go participate in rodeos now. I've got the lasso," Manning joked Monday. "You've totally missed the point."

Manning also turned serious for a bit, admitting he spoke to both Belichick and Tom Brady, telling them how much he appreciated all the different battles they had on the football field.
