Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning is getting trolled hard by the trolliest of trolls in the sports media world this morning.
Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless of ESPN‘s First Take came up with an absurd hashtag and promoted it on their show.

Smith, who’s notorious for saying dumb stuff, says he’s thought this for awhile.

Meanwhile, the super educated viewers who watch First Take and kill brain cells every morning bought into the hype and loved the hashtag.

Well, if nothing else, these two know what they’re doing. Apparently Smith and Bayless have mastered how to pander to their brainless audience.
Could Manning be in decline? Sure. But this is it, really? Remember what folks said and wrote about Tom Brady last year after the disaster in Kansas City? He won a Super Bowl five months later.
Kansas City caused the Brady panic, let’s see if Kansas City is the place where PFM kills all this silliness.
