Retirement not on radar as Manning focuses on Seahawks

With weather forecasts firming up to suggest that Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVIII may be spared the sort of intense snowstorms which have struck the New York area twice this month, both the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks arrived to their team hotels in Jersey City on Sunday ahead of a week of scrutiny.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was immediately faced with questions about his future in the game, especially if it turns out his side win their first Super Bowl since John Elway retired as a Denver quarterback in a blaze of glory 15 years ago, having secured two titles in-a-row after three previous failed attempts over the span of his Hall of Fame career.

Elway is Denver’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations — a general manager in other words — and has more at stake than most when he claims Manning will continue to pull the strings in the Mile High City.
