The good news about the Peyton Manning sweepstakes is that it appears it will end soon. Manning has done his part, having the courtesy to put some of his suitors out of their respective miseries without virtue of long, drawn-out song and dance numbers.

Washington Redskins need a quarterback, but Peyton Manning not the answer
