Yeah 2016 is the first year that's ever felt really far along to me. Like, poo poo, we're in the second half of the 2010s already? That Sen. Craig bathroom stuff was like 10 years ago good lord.

2020 Is going to blow my mind, and resolving it against the future promised to me in Super Baseball 2020 will be hard.

He didn't lead the league in interceptions this year but the last time the Broncos won is the only other time in Peyton's career where he's had more Interceptions than TDs.

Payton Manning plays for the Denver Football Broncos, they are an American Football team in the National Football League of America,

From my understanding, Payton Manning is a Quarter Back, his job is to throw the "football" forwards, as opposed to backwards like you would do in rugby.

On Sunday, Payton Manning faced up against Tom "Touchdown" Brady of the New England Football Patriots FC.

According to noted NFL expert forum Something Awful, Tom "Touchdown" Brady is a "Bitch made cry baby who breaks the rules willy nilly to gain an advantage".

In two weeks, Payton Manning will face a black man supposedly playing the same position as him but for the Carolina Football Panthers in the Superbowl

Everyone including the loving groundskeeper is getting flights, hotel and tickets for two, plus a ring + $10000 bonus if we win. Apparently a lot of teams did it, quit being a bitch.

It is a normal thing for teams to do -- most of them are also working, too. During my time in the Vikings ticket office, we were told to prepare to go down to Miami if the team had won in 2009 because we'd be needed to verify ticket holders when they came to pick them up. Other areas, like marketing/corporate sales have to wine and done the high roller season ticket holders.

e: it's also, like, ~150 people total. Individual NFL organizations aren't that big.

e2: bonuses/rings will definitely vary from team to team. Whatever front office staff does get rings (that is entirely up to the team), it is almost assuredly not the same rings the players are getting.

I certainly wouldn't expect that but it's totally up to the team. There was never any talk of bonuses on the Vikings but I could see an owner like, say, Mark Davis doing that.

From what I gathered, it does look like they're getting the same rings. Teams are allowed to give out as many rings as they want but the NFL only pays for the first 150.

I stand corrected. A friend did in house legal work for Miami and they were amazingly stingy, although Ross has shown himself to be free with the checkbook. Maybe when it's celebration time it's free rings and cash, but when you're having a guy redo a contract for a free agent undrafted player it's business as usual

Yeah, teams usually order a bunch of extra rings. There's a handful that have been raffled off or given to specific rich fans and also Putin.

Who gets rings? The players and coaching staff obviously, owner, GM, any VPs. I'm struggling to come up with 150. Do like equipment managers get them? Team bus driver? Big time agents?
