Peyton Manning mistakes diabetes monitor for mobile phone

Quote:

The gang of Pro Bowl football players had been gathered around the tables, swapping stories, when suddenly the Broncos' quarterback had 300-pound Nick Mangold pushing from one side, 310-pound Kris Dielman holding the other and his cell phone swindled into the hands of a coy Peyton Manning. Cutler's radar had gone up, but he never had a chance. Splash! "We gave him a Pro Bowl baptism," said Dielman, the star offensive guard of the rival San Diego Chargers. Great fun. Big laughs. There was just one problem. Cutler is a Type 1 diabetic, and in his pocket was his blood-sugar monitor. "That was a prank where I thought we were smart enough to get the cellphone out of his pocket," Dielman said. "But then, 'Oops.' "

The monitors do look like cell phones depending on which brand you have.

Peyton Manning (or perhaps a moustached lookalike) was later pictured checking his own blood sugar level

Peyton has a brilliant football mind but he is a meathead off the field.

Where in the hell does it say Peyton Manning mistaked the diabetes monitor for a phone?

He planned on throwing Jay Cutler in the pool, so he nabbed his phone so it wouldn't get ruined in the water. He just forgot that Cutler was diabetic and had a blood-sugar monitor in his pocket as well.

Let's not act like Manning is a complete idiot and can't tell the difference between a cell phone and a blood-sugar monitor.

From the Denver Post:

"It was a bad audible on our part," Manning said. "I think we were thinking right, trying to get the cellphone. Then we realize, the guy gets insulin shots. We missed that."
