Former Coach May Comment About Patriot Subterfuge, But Peyton Manning 'Won't Write A Book'

DENVER (CBS4) - The New England Patriots come to play Denver at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Nov. 29, and it could be the final meeting between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

It also could be the last time Manning has to worry about what subterfuge the Patriots might be cooking up in an effort to get the upper hand on him and his teammates.

During his time as quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts Manning struggled against the Patriots, and there is some new reason to think it might have been because they gained a psychological advantage.

Tony Dungy, Manning's coach throughout most of his years with Indy, went on a national sports radio program Thursday and said players on the Colts who were former Patriots warned them to be careful game planning in the visiting locker room in Foxborough in case someone from the opponent's team might be listening.

When asked about the comments on Thursday at training camp, Manning didn't hesitate to say that he has no comment about what does or doesn't get said in his locker room.

"I think there's kind of a rule, when you're still playing, I think kind of what goes on in the locker room kind of stays in the locker room," Manning said. "When you stop playing, you write a book and you get on commentary and it all kind of seems to be told. I'm still playing, so I don't really talk about what goes on in the locker room. I won't write a book, by the way, so you won't find out what goes on in the locker room, even after I stop playing. Those are kind of some of the things that sort of stay in house.
