The Manning Theory
Could the Manning’s headline Super Bowl 48 in New York? |
Every so often you get someone who starts rumors, makes claims of sports being and rigged and make up supposed theories of how sports organizations are ran. I from time to time have been one of those people. Recently one theory and rumor I have read into is the possible chance of Peyton Manning heading to the New York Jets. It is no secret that the Jets are not supportive of Mark Sanchez right now and some have said they want Peyton Manning there. One conspiracy theory I have heard is that if Peyton goes to the Jets he and Eli will meet at Super Bowl 48 at Metlife Stadium, the home of the Giants and Jets.
This theory actually makes perfect sense because New York is the place for marketing and advertising and everyone wants to see a Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl. Sports is business just like any other profession and they will do whatever it takes to make the most money. The fact of the matter is, New York is where you’re going to make the most money. It means a lot of dollars and it makes a lot sense.
Don’t freak out just yet because Peyton Manning has been linked to other teams like the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers. There is still a small possibility that he could re-sign with the Colts but it’s unlikely. In my own personal opinion he will sign with an AFC team so he does not directly compete with his younger brother Eli.
Where Peyton Manning winds up is as good as guess is any. Right now everyone will have sit and wait to see what happens. The one thing that is for sure is that where Peyton goes, he will make an immediate impact on what ever team he goes to.
