I'm glad to hear Peyton Manning did not break his legs

HOAX: Peyton Manning Breaks Legs in Car Accident Not True; Quarterback Legs Not Broken

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is still alive and 'kicking' after all, contrary to earlier reports about the four-time NFL MVP breaking his both legs in a car accident on Sunday.

The Broncos quarterback is safe from harm and has not been involved in a car accident as reported by FakeAWish.com below:

"A spokesperson for the Denver highway safety authority (HSA) has confirmed that Peyton Manning has broken both of his legs in a traffic altercation. He has been transported via ambulance to a local Denver hospital for treatment, and the full extent of his injuries are not known at this time, however, both of his legs were visibly broken and not life threatening according to sources.

The accident involved a 2012 BMW driven by Peyton Manning and a 76 year old female driver in a 2010 Audi. The driver of the Audi was issued a citation for failing to stop at a red light before striking the vehicle driven by Peyton Manning at a high rate of speed."

Artcle says there was similar hoax last March. I'm not a Broncos fan, but no one wants to see any player go down like this.

His legs WERE broken, but Tebow healed him. It was a long-distance healing. Or as he calls it, a Heal Mary.
