I agree its AZ or Miami and will be decided before Tuesday.The only thing making AZ a slam dunk is the offensive line. We will know very soon.

if it's between those two, it'll be miami. i think nfc teams pay a "brother in the the same conference" premium. i don't think he wants to play against the giants for the halas trophy.

Rumor is that Peyton has already told Danny Boy to pound sand - Doesn't want to play against Eli.

How stupid. If it is his best situation (and I am not saying it is), who gives a **** if you play your brother twice a year?

Brothers have been competing against each other in professsional sports since the beginning of time.

I think it's just a nice way of saying, that I don't want to play for that laughing stock of an organization.

Probably right. I thought Peyton had a pair and competing against his brother would be way low on his list of priorities.

I'm sure he would probably like playing against Eli twice a year.
But when you think about I could think of two reasons off the top of my head why what he's saying is likely true.

1- He probably doesn't want to answer the endless amount of questions about him matching up against Eli twice a year for the next 3-4 years.

2- (makes more sense to me) Apparently they are very very close, to the point where they speak to each other and disuss strategy/schemes regarding the opposition for each other every week. Obviously if they are in the same division, that simply couldn't happen.

Bigs, I honestly don't think it's a competition thing, it's more of an intangible type deal.

Now in Denver talking to them. He's will go to an AFC team for sure! I wish him well, it's the best move for all and he'll be back in Indy someday somehow.

Perhaps, if he's interested in coaching at some point.
