One sure way of identifying the most passionate Peyton Manning fans is their use of the middle name given to him in honor of his quarterbacking prowess:
Peyton Fucking Manning – or PFM for short.
When news broke early yesterday that Manning would be announcing his retirement at a press conference scheduled for 11 a.m. today, plenty of Peyton boosters took to Twitter. And his profane honorific got plenty of action, often accompanied by photos, graphics and even a video during which Broncos players can be heard hollering “Peyton Fucking Manning” during Super Bowl 50.
