Theres a scripture reading 11 timothy 47. I have fought the good face. I have won the race and i have fought the good fight. After 18 years its time. Go bless all of you and god bless football. God bless all of you and god bless football. No. 18 stepped away from the game he loves. Drew soicher is along now and peyton said it was just time to go. Im so happy he snuck it in today just before the deadline which would have forced the broncos to release him. That would have been a mess. Peyton manning said goodbye to pro football the same way he said hello nearly two decades ago with a well prepared and perfectly timed delivery. Manning was extremely emotional and struggled to get started, but then like so many of the games he played rallied for a ill miss Demaryius Thomas telling me he loved me and thanking me for coming to denver after every touchdown i threw to him. Ill miss putting in a my with tom moore and adam gates play with tom moore and adam gates and ill miss picking out the ball with my equipment guys and talking with the broadcast crews before the game and afterwards ill miss recapping the game with my dad and checking to see if the giants won and calling eli. I miss that handshake with tom brady and ill miss the plane rides after a big win with 53 teammates standing in the aisles laughing and celebrating during the whole flight. Kind of cool. Out of the 50 super bowls only twice has the winning quarterback then immediately retired and its john elway and Peyton Manning. Know now to do it around here. Listening to his litany of things he will miss about the thing the other guys hate. They all love sunday, but manning really truly appreciated monday through saturday. Thats what made him different. Thats what made him great. Thanks, drew. Reporter mannings career in denver has been one of successes and setbacks. After signing with the team in 2012 he led the broncos to the playoffs only to lose to the ravens. In 2013 he won a record fifth nfl mvp award. He took the team to the super bowl and then lost to the seahawks. The following year he set the record for the number of touchdown passes. However, manning couldnt get past his former team the colts in the playoffs. It was his last season that was the wildest ride of all. Over a two month period manning broke the record for passing yards. He missed six games with a foot injury. He denied allegations that he used Human Growth Hormone and returned to play in the post season. That ended with a win that left super bowl 50. Everyone witnessed the end of the season and the super bowl title. What we didnt see was the drive and determination of Peyton Manning to return from his injury. Head coach gary kubiak gave a bit of insight when he talked about a workout that had been recorded in the days leading up game. It was a summer gesture with a fung that simple gesture with a finger that may have been a spark to a super bowl title. In a workout he sent me a signal to the film. Hey, were no. 1. You can take it that way. I took it as im ready to play, coach, okay . [ laughter ] so i was heading home that night. I texted him. I said hey, the workout looked great today and oh, by the way i got the signal. Manning couldnt confirm or deny it happened just as his coach described it, although he did say it was a frustrating time not getting healthy as quickly as he wanted. Of course, haters going to hate, talking to you steelers running back Deangelo Williams who took to twitter today saying that manning had a terrible final year, said manning couldnt play dead in a western. People jumped in to defend manning and williams stayed at it saying manning when a ton of picks and only about six good plays the entire year. Williams has had time to study the game film since the broncos knocked the steelers out of the playoffs. Colorado weather, view so crazy, sunshine and a few hours later snow falling fast in big wet flakes across the metro. In thornton they got hail.

This time of year means a mixed bag of weather. You know its really typical colorado to be really warm one day and all of a sudden you might see like we saw today snow, hail and rain and then, of course, tomorrow will be back up into the 50s and looking very nice for the rest of the week. Reporter even with the day to day changes meteorologists have a good idea of what lies ahead for the spring. The march precipitation outlook shows above average moisture. That could come in the form of snow or rain. With martinically can bring some with march typically can bring some pretty good snow reporter in 2003 march brought snow with days of warm temperatures. Although we dont see a blizzard at this point in the forecast, keep the winter gear ready. For natives this is nothing new. Thats typical colorado. We are in an el nino year.

Glen canyon tomorrow from 9 a. M. To 4 p. M. Repairs on the road surface itself could still take a few more weeks. Congratulations if you made it through this weeks storm and it wasnt super exciting, was it . Thats really the most excitement that well see this week even with another weak storm approaching southern colorado. Im meteorologist kathy sabine outside in the 9news backyard and was this your view today . Wet snowflakes coming down in centennial. Our adam vance out and about. The snow didnt stick around long. The roads were wet. A lot of people happy to see the moisture. In the high country snow and ice creating travel issues this afternoon and that snow and ice winding down tonight, but were still getting reports of difficult travel. 43 in eagle today, 43 in leadville, 55 in denver, low 70s on the south eastern plains, typical highs this time of year, right about 51. Even with clear skies were still above freezing at dia and close to that number here downtown. Winds have not been a big factor for us thankfully on the backside of this departing system. Morning, it should be calm and quiet, mid30s. Blue skies, loveland ski area, great skiing and snowboarding conditions with about a foot of snow recorded across the central and southern mountains from this fast moving storm that wasnt very strong. 7 at wolf creek, 5 at aspen, 4 1 2 at snowmass, 4 in the steamboat area. All the Winter Weather and travel advisories canceled out. We have a few leftover snow showers around the foothills. All the moisture is finally starting to move northeast out of colorado. This system headed for the midwest will be replaced by another storm thats moved onshore already in southern california. Heavy rain, snow, that system digging into the southwest and will stay south of colorado but come close enough to bring a little snow to the high country and maybe an isolated shower here. The heavy rain is in the Gulf Coast Region where a Flash Flood Watch will be out, dallas, memphis, tracking Severe Weather tomorrow. Low pressure sliding through this tomorrow, a second one to the north, a third one coming fourth one out west in. Spite of that notice how colorado is centered in the middle of all the chaos with a relatively quiet weather pattern. Hail and tornadoes will be a states tomorrow. Temperatures here are so warm and theres a lot of moisture to deal with when youve got these weak systems coming through, that cold dry air clashing with the warm air and all of that humidity. It is the beginning of Severe Weather season for some areas. Today was our first convective day, reports of rain and grapple around the area. Notice how tomorrow the winds shift, high and midlevel clouds pushing into southern colorado from the low which is actually from the south. There will be occasional snow showers on i70 but no Winter Weather or travel advisories to speak of. The snow will come and go. I put just isolated showers in for denver both tomorrow and wednesday, but with these clearing skies i think youll notice a temperature drop probably more than anything 13 in frisco, 25 salida and rifle, 28 in greeley, 31 in colorado springs, right around freezing in lower elevations jumping nicely tomorrow but a few degrees cooler. Take a light jacket if you head out tomorrow. Travel will be much improved. Even with the Second System rolling in the moisture is limited. I dont think youll have widespread rain and snow like today. 29, partly cloudy with light winds, a cold night. Sun is up tomorrow at 6 22. Well get to 48 by lunchtime, 51 in the afternoon, a few degrees cooler than today. The third system rolls in on wednesday, similar forecast shaping up. Then the pattern shifts again, sunshine, 60s thursday, close to 70 friday, warm weather into the weekend. How about this . On sunday in about a weeks time Daylight Saving time begins. We push the clocks forward one hour, lose an hour of sleep. Then were back into the 70s the start of next week. When skies cleared, the sunset pictures around the area were fabulous. Continue to send in those pictures and the weather i dont know, you guys. Did the storm seem like a big deal to you, create any problems . If you were way down south, though, there were some flakes down there about the size of dinner platters. Its like sunshine, showers and snow. Welcome to march. The same system that brought us that messy mix of weather today created some interesting weather yesterday for nascar. The start of yesterdays sprint cup in las vegas was delayed 25 minutes because of high wind and a sandstorm. Our Furniture Row team had trouble getting the 78 car covered up during that delay. Different trouble this week for the team. They will soon find out whether a fine and suspension against the team and its crew chief will be upheld against an illegal roof flat. A kid named jackson is his homemade zamboni that has people talking. His parents are taking the opportunity to note jackson has type 1 diabetes. They hope their story from colorado sports leader heres drew soicher. Hi, everybody. Peyton manning didnt have an audible to call at the line of scrimmage when he needed 1 most. Manning was so overcome with emotion when he was introduced at his retirement News Conference that he took 20 full seconds to compose himself before starting his speech and then choked back tears for the next 12 compelling minutes. Theres just something about 18 years. 18 is a good number and today i retire from pro football. Our daughter mosley asked me daddy, is this the last game . Yes, mosley, its the last game of the season. I sure do want you to win that trophy. I do, too mosley and thats what were going to try to do. Then she asked daddy, is this the last game ever . And thats when i shook my head in a ms. Ment because i was anything morgan Adam Scheffler had gotten to my 5yearold daughter. I revere football. I love the game. You dont have to wonder if i miss it. Absolutely i will. I fought a good fight. I finished my football race and after 18 years its time. God bless all of you and god bless football. [ applause ] and so now its on to plan b as in brock who 9news broncos insider mike klis says its being so cooperative. Klis and tell. At the exact moment manning was osweiler was becoming a free agent. Any reason to panic . Maybe not panic, but theres reason for concern, drew, because the broncos made that offer three years, 45 million. Now thats with incentives. Thats not real dollars, but still they have not heard from Brock Osweiler in the nine days since they made that offer. The free agent period had its soft opening today. He was able to talk to other teams. The Houston Texans are the team about. Well, we know where brock was. Osweiler was involved in a pushing incident outside a scottsdale, arizona pizzeria over the weekend. Theres video that tmz posted, well. Any trouble there . Yeah. I heard someone in his party had another idea and brock said absolutely, i am not going to order papa johns. Know, there will be a lot of different ways to look at that tmz video. Osweiler. I dont think it necessarily puts him in a flattering light, hurt him. It may even help the broncos overall. I do think drew at the end of the day the broncos will do what they have to do to bring osweiler back. Though. I bet it slid and stuck to the box, though, because he wasnt holding it straight. Avalanche won tonight and are tied for the western conference playoff spot. Avs beat the coyotes in lower downtown. Shawn mathias scored the first goal by diving into the crease. Avs win 31. Bizarre ending to university of denvers basketball season tonight. The pioneers were trailing south dakota state by one point in the semifinals when the ref made a terrible call sending one of the nations top free stripe with one second remaining, but he missed and the pioneers lose 5453. Who would have guessed Mark Koebrich and Peyton Manning would retire just a few days apart . 9news sports 9toonist drew litton probably who drew a fabulous sketch including manning kicking his heels going into the sunset. We are so lucky Peyton Manning ago. Those were such awesome fun seasons and even more fortunate that he chose denver as the place to announce his retirement today because he very easily could have picked indianapolis where he spent the vast majority of his life s sharing a meal. And a kitchen with room for everyone. Spend 4000 or more on a new kitchen and get 15 back at life s sharing a meal. And a kitchen with room for everyone. Spend 4000 or more on a new kitchen and get 15 back at the ikea kitchen event. Tomorrow cool and dry to start, 48 degrees, partly highs slightly cooler today with isolated showers, similar forecast shaping up for wednesday and smooth sailing the rest of the week. Almost 70 for you, drew, on friday. Tonight show next. Jimmy has Brian Reynolds and katie holmes
