There are just a few more weeks left before the NFL pre-season starts. Football has always been a praised American pastime bringing millions of fans together to root for their favorite teams. Last season had many unexpected turns including the release of praised Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Peyton Manning. Out of commission due to a neck injury, Peyton’s absence left the Colts with poor stats.

Premiering this season as the new QB for the Denver Broncos (bye bye Tim Tebow), Manning fans can once again look forward to his uncanny plays (doesn’t call plays from a huddle to rush and confuse the opposing team). With Indianapolis now in his rear view mirror and a new zip code to call home, it was only a matter of time for Peyton to purchase a new pad.

TMZ recently reported that Peyton and fam purchased new Colorado digs in an exclusive community. Boasting 16,000 square feet, the estate has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, an elevator and panic room. The home itself has a classic style that has an all-American sentiment for its new all-American owner. The white molding pairs well against the hardwood floors throughout the home. Overall, the house is stately and full of a wealth of windows. We are sure Peyton and his family will enjoy their new home.
