Manning Nominated for SI’s Sports Moment of the Year

December 10th, 2012 - 3:51pm by Stuart Zaas

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is a candidate for Sports Illustrated’s year-end cover as the magazine celebrates the top sports moments of the year.

Fans can vote for their choice of the top sports moment from 2012 on Sports Illustrated’s Facebook page through Thursday, Dec. 13. The winner will be featured on the cover of the magazine’s Dec. 31st issue.

Manning’s comeback currently ranks in the top 5, and the Broncos’ overtime playoff win against Pittsburgh in last year’s AFC Wild Card round is also in the top 10.

Through 13 games this year, Manning has completed 330-of-483 passes for 3,812 yards and a franchise single-season record 30 touchdown passes.

    Holy cow! Texans have 34 passes batted down. 2nd in NFL is at 18. Take away Watt Texans still lead with 19. Watt has enough to be 5th with 15! Better than 3 other teams by himself!

  6. sndvl says:

    Tough vote! At least in Broncos Country…

    That overtime game was something special!!!

  7. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Preseason posting was a lot of fun. I was going through some old postings from the time before we got Manning. And then after landing the Neck. Too many to repost but a lot of Broncos Country predicted a rough start and a great finish. You all have a great deal of football knowledge and Bronco foresight! So do we win out? And do we get a bye and a Home game? Anyway all the songs OC and KK did will be my favorites of the preseason. Thanks to all!
    Just saying!

  15. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    Hope I actually get to attend a game the Broncos win on Sunday.This will be my third time seeing them.

  16. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    One of these days I’ll make it to a home game.

  17. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    Texans defense is looking near amateur out there right now.

  18. alex4serg says:

    wow. the pats are absolutely outclassing the texans. this is scary

  19. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    Their offense isn’t looking any better.

  20. alex4serg says:

    making hou look like dallas. haha

  21. wolfedom says:

    All I want for Christmas is a Willfork and Witten.

  22. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    That PI was BS!!!

  23. wolfedom says:

    oops I meant Welker

  24. alaskanbronco06 says:

    That was a joke of a penalty.

  25. alex4serg says:

    my god man. they are making em look like purdue.

    very scary

  26. sndvl says:

    So much for the Texans measuring up to the stick…

  27. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    JJ better turn up the wattage ALOT!

    Funny story for Broncos Country:

    So, I was going about my day, busy at work, but I managed to squeeze in a little sports radio. I had it on in the background, and there was a Jets fan calling in, saying how bad the Jets offense was, etc, etc, and how they should hire a new offensive coordinator (among other things). Anyway, he proceeded to go through his list of potential candidates he thought would be a good fit for the Jets, which included our own Mike McCoy. Here’s where it gets good, as he continued through his list – I kid you not – he mentioned JOSH MCDANIELS……… LMFAO!!!

  29. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    McD is a pretty good OC but a terrible HC.Why the heck would he leave NE to go to NY unless it was another shot at HC though?

  30. OTbroncos says:

    *meant to say HC

  31. OTbroncos says:

    We need home field advantage if we play the Pats in the playoffs….

  32. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    That makes more sens but WHY?Didn’t the dude see what McD did to Denver?Much better off with Ryan

  33. OTbroncos says:

    Sorry ViaMd, meant to say HC.. I almost want to see the Jets make the playoffs, b/c they will get completely embarrassed on national TV… LOL

  34. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    I got that OT.That’s what makes more sense.

  35. alex4serg says:

    im a bit of a mcd apologist. i think he can be a great hc. he started us 6 – 0 and beat ne.

    in den he just lost the locker room.

  36. alex4serg says:

    once he learns to orchestrate the rush – and looking at ne this year maybe he already has – and trust good dc then might be a great hc – if he can win the locker room.

    one thing is certain. NE is better with mcd

  37. OTbroncos says:

    If the Jets let Rex Ryan go, I could see the Pats hire him… Yikes

  38. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    AND traded away a team full of great talent.That,I think,is a big reason he lost the locker room.

  39. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    I wonder when Spygate III is gonna come out.

  40. OTbroncos says:

    Josh can swirl a whistle like nobody’s business! Lol

  41. alex4serg says:

    who? Cutler is good but not that good. Marshal was a locker room cancer that was upgraded to dt. I was mad about hillis but hillis proved to be a low character guy.

  42. alex4serg says:

    mcd resigned doom champ clady. drafted ayers moreno beadles walton decker dt.

  43. OTbroncos says:

    Getting caught cheating was a complete embarrassment IMO…

  44. FTR says:

    Screw McD!!
    FTR

  45. OTbroncos says:

    And trading your 2nd round draft pick, plus a 1st rounder the next year, to move up a few spots to pick Alfonso Smith, only to trade Smith for a TE, only to release said TE, is the WORST mismanagement of assests I’ve ever seen….

  46. FTR says:

    LOL@OT
    Josh can swirl a whistle like nobody’s business! Lol
    FTR

  47. FTR says:

    I am out before I say somrthing I should not!!
    Mcd is in the past and I for one am glad!!
    peace out!

  48. alex4serg says:

    mcd made a lot of mistakes as hc. but anyone that suggests he doesnt have some above average coaching talent is looking at it though blinders. he made doom the leading sack master. made lloyd the leading receiver. made orton look good.

  49. DBFanFromAzViaMd says:

    He cheated and got caught.TWICE!Nuff said.

    Watt is an animal… even though they are are getting beat… what a play down field!
