This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

At this point, it's probably not to let Peyton come to Denver.

Speaking of...anyone know if Wolfe is a baseball fan? And, if so, is he a Cubs or a White Sox guy?

Has Tebow disclosed that's what he's praying for, rather than the usual, "Please don't let me screw up" and freedom from injury prayers most athletes offer up?
