The Broncos use colorful footballs in training camp as part of a vaguely understood method to promote ball security. This year, some of the balls are blue, and Peyton Manning thinks this is hilarious:
More Peyton
"I know y'all wanted to know about the ball security ball," Manning began. "Did you ask [Fox]? What did he say? It's a different color because it's training camp. Does that make any sense?
"It won't be blue during the regular season," he continued. "But training camp?"
And then you realize: he doesn't want to talk about ball security at all.
"It's what color in training camp?"
Blue. A blue ball. Manning laughs, and when Manning is laughing, things in Denver are as they should be.
This is the same article in which Peyton is quoted joking that a reporter should "C" their way out of an "A and B conversation."
Sources confirm that Manning went on to offer reporters seafood, then open his mouth to reveal partially chewed mush and shout "SEE? FOOD!" He also gave a team employee a swirly. Peyton Manning is a pre-teen monster and must be stopped before he noogies us all.
