Peyton Manning doesn't have feeling in the fingertips on his throwing hand.

[gho3st]

He still doesn’t have feeling in the fingertips on his right hand. “I can’t feel anything in my fingertips,” Manning said Thursday. “It’s crazy. I’ve talked to a doctor recently who said, Don’t count on the feeling coming back. It was hard for me for about two years, because one doctor told me I could wake up any morning and it might come back. So you wake up every day thinking, Today’s the day! Then it’s not.” I find his production all the more impressive since four neck procedures caused him to miss the 2011 season, and caused him to lose—maybe forever—the comfortable grip on the football. At 36, 37 and 38, his combined completion percentage is 2.8 percentage points higher than in his career before the neck problems; in Indy, he averaged 28.5 touchdown passes per season; in Denver, it’s 43.7. He may play games this year without wearing the glove he used last year, but anytime there’s weather or wind, expect the glove to be worn.

I think everyone figured that there was some permanent damage in one regard or another from 4 neck surgeries

if you really believe that you neggas are naive.

Then what was he feeling on before every kickoff ?

We already have an excuse for him when he fails again

Nerve damage can do shyt like that...and it can possibly get worse when he gets older.


Stem cell treatment can be very helpful for this kind of thing, but the religious nuts will keep slowing it down.
