Day 256: In Case You Didn't Know, Peyton Manning is the Ultimate Multitasker

Peyton Manning might not be very good at playing in frigid weather conditions. And he might have trouble beating the Patriots after being staked to a 24 point lead. He might even have difficulty moving around these days due to a bit of a bum ankle. What he doesn't have a problem with is multitasking.

There's a photo floating around the internet this week of Manning soaking his foot in a cold tub, looking at an iPad while wearing his helmet. Last I checked neither foot soaking or iPad watching seem dangerous enough to have to wear a helmet. So what was Peyton doing?

The easiest thing to figure out is the foot. Everyone knows Peyton's been dealing with some ankle issues so that makes sense. So maybe he's watching a movie to pass the time? No... he's watching game film on the iPad.

And the helmet? I could see wearing a life jacket... you know, in case he falls into the pool by accident. But a helmet? Evidently, the offense was out on the field running some plays so Manning wanted to listen in on the play calling and strategizing. He was also lecturing his tight end, Julius Thomas, on the game plan and repeating the calls as they came in.

Sounds like a classic case of a brown-nosing overachiever to me. We'll see how all this multitasking helps when they take on the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night.
