One person who won't be shedding any tears for the soon-to-be closed down network is Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. When Manning was asked about the cable channel's closure on 

Wednesday, he gave a vintage Manning answer

"I'm sure that's just devastating to all their viewers," Manning said sarcastically, via USA Today

Less than three weeks ago Al Jazeera America released a documentary that alleged that Manning's wife was having human growth hormone sent to her at an address in Florida while Manning was recovering from neck surgery in 2011

"It's completely fabricated. Complete trash, complete garbage," Manning said. "There's some more adjectives I'd like to be able to use. It makes me sick

Although there was some confusion about whether or not Al Jazeera or Al Jazeera America made the documentary, it was done by neither. The Manning documentary was done by a separate investigative unit. According to the Washington Post, that unit will not be closed down

Even if it's not being shuttered, NFL fans still seem to consider all the news a victory for Manning and the moral of the story for most NFL fans seems to be: Don't mess Peyton Manning
