Coming from an Indianapolis Colts-loving family, it is difficult for me-- and really anyone-- not to admire Peyton Manning. Even though Manning hasn't been a part of the Colt's team for a while, he hasn't stopped being a phenomena in the football world, and if you saw his season opener Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens, you can support easily support this claim.

After returning to the NFL scene as quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Manning started off the first half with a couple bullets for touchdowns, but with a final winning score of 49-27, it is obvious that Manning and the Broncos were just getting warmed up. Manning ended the night with an NFL-record-tying seven touchdown passes, proving that his previous injury was not a detriment to his performance on the field.

Needless to say, Denver fans-- and Peyton Manning fans-- are looking forward to the rest of this NFL season and to witnessing what Peyton, as a valuable addition to the Broncos roster, has in store.
