       Peyton Manning Retiring

       Peyton Manning's Super Bowl 50 victory over the Carolina
       Panthers was indeed his last rodeo.
       The five-time NFL MVP is retiring, the Denver Broncos announced
       Sunday. The team will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. ET Monday
       for Manning to discuss his stepping away from the game after 18
       seasons and two Super Bowl victories.
       "When you look at everything Peyton has accomplished as a player
       and person, it's easy to see how fortunate we've been to have
       him on our team," Broncos executive vice president of football
       operations and general manager John Elway said in a statement.
       "Peyton was everything that we thought he was and even more --
       not only for the football team but in the community. I'm very
       thankful Peyton chose to play for the Denver Broncos, and I
       congratulate him on his Hall of Fame career."
       Manning called the Broncos on Saturday night to inform them he
       would be retiring. The Monday news conference had been
       previously scheduled, but the Broncos didn't know what Manning's
       decision would be until he made the call.
