Sure, Frank Tripucka gave Peyton Manning permission to wear his No. 18. Really, why wouldn't he? Still, I wonder if it might be bad karma to do this. Probably not, but If I were Manning, and God knows I'm not, I wouldn't go tempting fate or doing anything that the football Gods might frown upon.
We will have to see if the gimpy-necked field general will be 100% this year, and whether or not he'll get TRIPUCKA'd at some point during the season.
"HEY PEYTON, BREAK A LEG!"
By the way, our boy Frank Tripucka was the first Denver Broncos QB to wear No. 18, and is one of only three Broncos to have his number retired.
