08:06 AM ET 05.21 | The meshing of philosophies -- that of John Fox and Peyton Manning -- begins Monday at Dove Valley. Manning is a quarterback who has taken a detour to Denver while on his way to Canton, Ohio. He did not become one of the all-time best quarterbacks by handoff alone. It's through the air, without bothering to huddle up, that Manning has sliced up defenses. Despite the differences in offensive style, there is also a statistical compatibility between Fox and Manning that suggests they will get along quite well now that they are both with the Broncos. ... [Fox] doesn't mind winning by a score of 17-10. Give him some offense, though, and Fox knows how to finish.

Packers may have Matthews on the move

Wait, say that again?

May 21, 2012  08:51 AM ET

Nice one! Interns were reading Mick's comments on Matthews and got themselves confused.

Pass the doobie to the left hand side

May 21, 2012  08:55 AM ET

So the Packers may have Mathews on the move, and Peyton's response is to wave the Orange jersey of surrender?

This might be the most sensible thread posted on this site in years.

May 21, 2012  08:58 AM ET

So, they hired this intern because she's a Fox? Is that what this means?

It's definitely an improvement over the weekend threads.

The Compatibility test:

John Fox: Uggh... Peyton, what I like the offense to do is...
Peyton Manning: Isn't the defense practicing over there? Why don't you go talk to them. I got this.
John Fox: Oh. Ok.

For future reference, this is what we're talking about here:

That's a cut-and paste, so the night shift gets to laugh, too.

Based on the intelligent writing, it could be Megan Fox. Heard she's been looking for work since they cut her from those dramatic roles in Transformers.

They will get along just fine as long as Fox remembers his place

May 21, 2012  09:03 AM ET

One of the interns must have spilled his or her java all over their keyboard.

May 21, 2012  09:11 AM ET

Matthews moving means Manning maligned

May 21, 2012  09:17 AM ET

They told someone to look over her shoulder, but all he did was look down the front of her blouse.

Can't blame the guy, though.

Compatibility Letter 101
Dear John,
Do you like pina coladas? Getting caught in the rain? If you're not into yoga and have half a brain...Then call me, big fella!
Luv,
Peyton
XOXO

It looks like Peyton is already endorsing some laundry detergent that gets jerseys clean without fading the colors.

He might need it. Tebow turned "running for his life" into an offense. I don't think Peyton can do that.

John Fox: Peyton, I'd like you to spend some time with your new offensive coordinator.

Peyton Manning: Offensive coordinator? We don't need no stinking offensive coordinator.

If Manning and Fox prove to be incompatible you know who will be losing his job first.

I guess it won't be John Elway...

What's so difficult? All he's got to say is "Yes Peyton"
