The Buzz - March 8, 2018

So, around 11am yesterday morning I began to feel extremely nauseous and by the time 3pm rolled around, I had a full-blown fever. I'm pulling through it - slowly. No appetite for pizza or wine - that's how you know.

Peyton Manning news day.

Peyton Manning was in the news a few times today for two things that are un-related - at least I think so.

• He sold his stake in 31 Denver-area Papa Johns locations two days before the NFL dropped Papa Johns as a sponsor. Sounds like a little birdie landed on Manning's shoulder and let him know what's going on.

• FOX and ESPN are both trying to get Manning as their next NFL analyst. At a price of apparently over $10 million, they're trying to get him to call Monday Night Football and/or Thursday Night Football. He's smart, and obviously has a great football IQ, Also has a sense of humor. I'm in.
  

Richard Sherman is as good as gone in Seattle.

Richard Sherman's (former) Seattle Seahawks teammates dropped the ball and let it slip that Sherman is on his way out. 

That text message got my heart hurting ... damn 25 was my Dawg #WhatsNext

It appears he'll be released or traded. While he is 30 years old and is coming off of a major injury in 2017, he should still be an asset to a team and should still have a few years left of competitive play.

​Which brings me to the next thing....

Michael Bennett traded to the philadelphia eagles.

The rich get richer in Philadelphia, and gain pass-rusher Michael Bennett. The Legion of Boom is officially broken up and honestly probably just wanted to get away from Russell Wilson's yahoo self. 

The Seahawks traded 33-year old Bennett to Philly for a 5th-round pick and WR Marcus Johnson. Philly is now STACKED on defense, plus get CB Sidney Jones back in 2018 as well as QB Carson Wentz. 

Cox, Jernigan, Bennett, Graham and Barnett. Wow. Good luck NFC East
