Peyton Manning isn't feeling even the remotest itch to return to football.

It's been three months since the confetti rained on Manning and the Denver Broncos after their Super Bowl 50 victory, and the 39-year-old admitted he's looking forward to doing all the things he didn't have time for because of his commitment to his NFL and college career.

"People tell me that I'm going to miss football, that I'm going to have withdrawals. But I got my fill," Manning said Tuesday at the Coloradoan’s inaugural Northern Colorado Sports Awards, according to Matt L. Stephens of the Indy Star. "There are things I want to do. I want to see the New York Giants play … I want to see my Tennessee Vols. I want to do a lot of things I haven’t been able to do in 22 years."

Manning has remained coy about his future, and it appears he'll enjoy retirement a little longer before deciding whether a career in coaching, a front-office position, a TV analyst job, or something else entirely is for him.
