Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning was in a surly mood Sunday night, noticeably steamed at his press conference after the team’s ugly 19-13 win.

No. 18 wasn’t pleased with the performance by the offense and took it out on the media who asked him about, well, why the offense was so darn bad. It was a pretty bizarre scene as Manning, who’s normally so cool and calculated, appeared to be on the verge of really losing it.

But to the quarterback’s credit he bounced back in a big way on Tuesday afternoon, joking with the media and diagnosing various injuries local scribes and hosts probably have. Manning was asked about his back and mused about how we all have small injuries that don’t get talked about. The results were pretty funny.

Here’s Peyton Manning in his words Tuesday afternoon on a variety of topics including playing doctor:

“You know my thoughts on the injury report. I think the media should do an injury report as well. I’d like to create it myself. Think about it. I’m going to put down what I think your injuries are.”

“Let me start with [KUSA reporter Mike] Klis. The carpal tunnel from all the texting of his sources. Who else? D-Mac (104.3 The Fan host Darren McKee), the laryngitis from ripping me all week. The rash that he has that’s unidentified. The fact that he’s still is here every day to overcome that, I think it admirable. [Denver Post reporter] Woody [Paige], in my opinion, is probably the healthiest of all of you, and this is not a healthy group by any means. But Woody is healthy. Who else? [USA Today reporter] Lindsay Jones—the bunions from all the travel to the West Coast. Like I said, I never hear you guys complaining about it, so I’m not going to complain about it. In many ways you guys inspire me. I was kind of surprised that I was on it to tell you the truth, but I think like a lot of guys, it’s a pretty physical game on Sunday. In many ways, maybe I’m honored to be on it.”

“[Denver Post columnist Mark] Kiszla also—Kislza’s got gout for sure. I know he’s got gout, but he never complains about it.”

Well played, Peyton.

Now let’s just hope that back injury is as minor as Manning is making it seem.
