Suck It, Droski.

So super he only required four surgeries and still has to get a full exam every year to just be allowed to play.

 

Surely there was no PR element to that pronouncement.

 

No they didn't.

Do what? Unnamed sources and limited throwing?

 

That's a neat article with all sorts of "sources" none of whom were identified as doctors, much less Colts doctors, throwing out a bunch of speculative bullshit that would make for interesting journalism.

 

I think we can safely say he had a surprisingly quick and effective recovery

 

Surprising in that they said it would take a year and it took... a year. Shocking.

 

This is becoming next-level sort of fantasy now.

 

Given to him by eating Papa John's and driving a Buick. Roger Clemens magically becomes healthy after leaving Boston and adds a decade plus to his career and everyone with an IQ above room temp knows he's cheating. Peyton Manning comes back to play a collision sport after a more serious injury and people become more naive than a child waiting on Santa Claus.

 

Who cares - it's his neck. And everyone in the NFL is on steroids.

 

That doesn't make it HGH. Even if he is using some sort of PED, it isn't HGH.

 

Here's the real scoop on how Peyton recovered.

Peyton went overseas on a healing retreat to the town of Assisi. Then for good measure, he traveled to the Vatican so the pope could pray for him. Peyton was healed by God. Right IP?

 

That is about as likely as HGH.

 

Pretty sure South Parm confirmed that Jesus took HGH while he was on the cross.

 

Guys, guys, guys...

His treatment and recovery were planned by the Broncos all along. They managed to secure some Tebow tears while he was there. Boom! Instant healing.
