Demarcus Ware tells TMZ sports that Peyton Manning brings free pizza to practice

We see Peyton Manning everywhere. Whether he is humming along to the Nationwide jingle as he makes himself a chicken parmesan or rapping alongside his brother in a DirecTV commercial, advertisements and Manning go together like pizza and bread sticks.

Speaking of which…

After TMZ sports interviewed Demarcus Ware on whether or not Manning would be returning for the 2015-16 season as quarterback for the Broncos, Ware leaked some awesome news about lunch time during practice at the Bronco’s facility.

Apparently, Manning takes advantage of his connection with Papa Johns for the benefit of the team.

Free pizza for everyone! Just another reason his team would want him to return next year. After all, who doesn’t love free pizza? Not to mention that without Manning the Broncos would be missing 4,727 passing yards and 39 touchdowns.

The Broncos were knocked out of the NFL playoffs this year, after getting beat by Manning’s former team, the Indianapolis Colts. After the game, Adam Schefter reported that Manning played with an injured quad for the final month of the season. I wonder if Manning was still eating Papa John’s pizza at lunch time during his injury?

I’m no doctor, but to think Papa John’s pizza does anything beneficial for the body during an injury is probably a misconception. Then again, I am not a doctor.

The Broncos will need all the help they can get after the firing of head coach John Fox (via espn.) Fox was 46-18 with the Broncos, although it was more of his 3-4 playoff record that led to his firing. Fox will be replaced by former Houston Texan head football coach, Gary Kubiak.

Hopefully for the Broncos, Manning will return next season in top form. Whether or not he will continue giving pizza out to his teammates is another story. Demarcus Ware sure does seem to appreciate it though.
