The Rams Have Had Internal Discussions About Bringing in Peyton Manning

Internal discussions are good.

You might have heard, Super Bowl 50 could be Peyton Manning's last rodeo. He's going to be 40 years old next season and is on something like his second or third neck. Just this week he said a doctor told him he will probably need a hip replacement when he retires. This is all to say: it's probably Peyton's last rodeo.

But! If it's not, and the Broncos don't bring him back, the St. Louis Rams have "had internal discussions" about bringing in the future Hall of Famer. Good for them.

I think it's a great idea for the Rams, these internal discussions. You can never be too prepared, which is why I have also had internal discussions.

  • I have had internal discussions about creating a time machine, going back to 2000, chloroforming Jets GM/Head Coach Bill Parcells and selecting Tom Brady as Jets quarterback.
  • I have had internal discussions about creating a time machine, going back to 1995 and telling Tom Brady that chicks dig the long ball.
  • I have had internal discussions about creating a time machine.
  • I have had internal discussions about winning the lottery.
  • I have had internal discussions about how many houses in Italy I would buy after winning the lottery.
  • I have had internal discussions about finding the home addresses of the CEOs for the banks who own my student loans and psychologically torturing them by rearranging one piece of furniture in their homes every day for 30 years after winning the lottery and paying off all my outstanding debt.
  • I have had internal discussions about how good that prior internal discussion makes me feel.
  • I have had internal discussions about maybe not having that last piece of pizza. Sure it's delicious, and still hot, but maybe you don't need it right now? Maybe you've had enough and you'll only regret the sick, overstuffed feeling you are definitely going to get five minutes later?
  • I have had internal discussions about dating Rihanna.
  • I have had internal discussions about appearing on the red carpet at the premiere of the commercially viable and critically adored movie I wrote and directed.
  • I have had internal discussions about red carpet wardrobe pairings with my girlfriend, Rihanna.
  • I have had internal discussions about how someone should really get cracking on the whole teleportation thing.
  • I have had internal discussions about Don Mattingly, Baseball Hall of Famer.
  • I have had internal discussions about becoming best friends with Tim Riggins.
  • I have had internal discussions about slamming so many goddamned Lone Stars with Tim Riggins it makes my head spin.
  • I, too, have had internal discussions about the Rams bringing in Peyton Manning.
