BREAKING NEWS: Peyton Manning planned the celebration himself!
We've all been had. Demariyus Thomas said Peyton Manning himself planned the keep-away. Peyton had them practice it too.

This is just Earth shattering news. What seemed like a genuine moment between Manning and his receivers turned out to be just another play they worked on during practice. I wouldn't be surprised if he had an audible built in just in case NBC had a different coverage than anticipated.
Whats even more troublesome is now I'm starting to think all those Nationwide commercials are all scripted and practiced too.
In reality, you know Peyton had this scripted because he saw this a couple weeks earlier and wanted to be just like Tom Brady.
Watch both of those videos and tell me which one had real emotion with it while the other was just going through the motions.
