Broncos Close to Signing Manning
COSTELLO: In today's "Daily Dose" of health news, health regulators have given the ok to a generic version of Boniva. It's one of the world's biggest selling osteoporosis drugs. Generic versions of popular drugs usually hit the market after their patents expire and often cost half as much as the original. The National Institutes of Health says about 40 million Americans have osteoporosis or are at a high risk for it and about 1 in 5 women over 50 actually have the disease. The big NFL news out today coming out of Denver, the Bronco's close to signing (inaudible) free agent Peyton Manning and that's prompting Super Bowl talk in the Mile High City and some sadness over Tim Tebow. Lindsay Jones is the Bronco's beat writer at the Denver Post. Lindsay, welcome.</s>LINDSAY JONES, DENVER POST: Hi, thanks for having me.</s>COSTELLO: We're delighted you're here because it must be an emotional time in Denver because of Tim Tebow.</s>JONES: Yes, there's a lot of bronco's fans who are really excited about the fact that Peyton Manning is about to be their new starting quarterback but it is a little bittersweet because the ride that Tim Tebow took this fan base on last year was one of the most exciting things that's ever happened in franchise history and certainly the most exciting ride that they have been on since their Super Bowls during the John Elway era. So the fact that Peyton Manning is coming here, it is signaling the end of Tim Tebow's time in Denver, and that is a little bittersweet, but I think more so than anything people are excited about the fact that Peyton Manning, the biggest free agent in the NFL, is coming here and automatically going to make the broncos a legitimate AFC contender.</s>COSTELLO: It's all about winning, winning, winning. But let's face it, Lindsay, Tim Tebow did what they wanted him to. Team made the playoffs. He did it humbly. He never complained. He did what he was supposed to. And now we have Peyton Manning and so let's throw Tim Tebow to the sidelines.</s>JONES: Yes you know what; it was an interesting situation and kind of a dangerous game the Bronco's were playing here when they went all in on the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. Because if Peyton Manning had chosen to go somewhere else, had he gone to Tennessee or San Francisco or Arizona, John Elway would have -- he showed all his cards there, and, you know, it would have been really difficult I think to go back in to Tim Tebow and say, no, we really do want you to be our guy because they went in so hard on Peyton Manning. Really the only decision they have left is that they have to move Tim Tebow and they're going to start working on that basically as soon as the ink is dry on Peyton Manning's contract here.</s>COSTELLO: It will be interesting. Lindsay Jones, thank you so much for joining us this morning. That does it for me. Let's throw it over to Kyra Phillips because I know you have a busy hour ahead.
