I have arrived on the couch with my laptop to watch basketball, golf, the bottom line scroll and read the board all day, and of course hope for good news about Manning.

It's already a good day because the Lobos won the MWC championship and should get a good seed for the tourney.

I'm going to be away from media most of the day. It would be really, really awesome to come home this afternoon to find we have a new QB.

I don't remember ever caring what he says, but historically, is he normally accurate? Or does he just speculate like crazy like everyone else?

I'm sure has been talking to larry so he gets his info from the horses mouth wether it actually happens is another story. I'm very optimistic which normally isn't my mindset.

Marcus was calling this 5 months ago. Usually right with what he says. Its fun to follow him to get inside Fitz details. For instance, Fitz says he "doesn't know about a scheduled meeting with Peyton" yesterday at Warner's event. Marcus copies quote and adds "LOL..." to it. Def one of my favorites to follow on twitter.

What we don't know is...

How plugged in electronically is Peyton to his support team? - which I'd guess would include Condon, lawyer, tax guy, Archie, the Docs, maybe even Eli etc.

We live in a new hi tech era. Do you think there's a steady stream of text messages and PDF drafts of contract terms going back & forth from AZ to distant points on the compass? Can this get a deal done on the spot easier than, say 5-10 years ago?

Wouldn't you love to be in the meeting room with these guys?

Somers just tweeted he is surprised there are hardly any fans there...

As soon as I am off shift, I will probably head up there, just for good Karma.. Hopefully people show up.. I think that is important..

I would think keeping it quiet rather than a circus would be better

If I were a betting man I think contract perimeters may already be in place or he wouldn't have accepted trips to these teams and report that he wants to sign by Tuesday. Not enough time to hammer out a contract that fast but there is enough time to negotiate the details of perimeters already set in place.

I'm not sure what he expects. Last night, two of the local channels reported that the meeting today would be "at the practice facility OR at the UofP stadium"? Were we supposed to roll the dice and pick one?

Now that the news is out, people will show.
