ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Swingman Larry Nance Jr. Jersey . - Peyton Mannings next touchdown throw will be his 500th, and hes spreading the credit around just like he does the football.The five-time MVP doesnt like to talk about individual accomplishments.As he approaches another milestone in a career filled with so many big moments, however, Manning took time Wednesday to reflect on all the help hes received on his 499 TD passes.He acknowledged that yes, he looks at his TD throws and interceptions every year because if the former is high and the latter low, that means youre getting your team in the end zone and that means youre protecting the ball. I think that particular statistic usually leads to winning football games.As far as the other thing, obviously, youre just trying to win this football game, Manning said. But when asked about it, I have reflected on how many great teammates and coaches that Ive been with along the way that have been a part of that. You dont throw that many touchdowns without a lot of help.Its not just the 44 players who have caught one of Mannings TD throws, but the rest of his teammates and coaches.As my old centre Jeff Saturday said, the only reason Ive thrown that many is because I had great protection for so many years. Typical lineman speaking, especially one in the media now, Manning said. But to tell you the truth, hes right. There are so many people that have helped me along the way.Hell face men who made big early impressions on him Sunday when the Denver Broncos (2-1) host Arizona (3-0).Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was Mannings first quarterback coach when Manning arrived in the NFL in 1998. And Arizonas assistant head coach Tom Moore was his offensive co-ordinator during his 13 seasons in Indianapolis.The Cardinals would love to delay Mannings milestone another week, but they know as well as anyone that its probably just wishful thinking.Thats tough because Peyton always finds a way to get the ball in the end zone, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said.The last time Manning didnt throw a TD pass was Nov. 14, 2010, against Cincinnati.So, chances are No. 500 will come sometime Sunday.Hell probably brush it off like its just another touchdown, Denver nose tackle Terrance Knighton said. But I know it means a lot to him.And chances are Mannings touchstone touchdown wont come down in the arms of a receiver, either.Tight ends Julius Thomas (five) and Jacob Tamme (two) have accounted for all but one of Mannings eight TD tosses this season.Newcomer Emmanuel Sanders went into the Broncos bye last week as the league leader in catches (25) and yards (334), yet he still waiting to spike a TD toss from him a€” unlike Denver defensive tackle Mitch Unrein.Its still kind of a shock to me that I have a touchdown from Peyton, Unrein said.Sanders cant wait to join the list.With 14 catches so far, Thomas jokingly asked Sanders on Wednesday if he could spare a reception.All right, Sanders retorted. Ill trade you for a touchdown.Thomas said Sanders can have No. 500 if he wants it.Ive already got a couple milestones, said Thomas, who caught Mannings 51st TD throw that broke Tom Bradys single-season record last year. It was one of his dozen TD receptions that surpassed Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpes team record for tight ends.I hope they throw it to me, said Knighton, noting that a jelly-belly lineman a few lockers down caught one.Unrein lined up at fullback on Dec. 2, 2012, slipped into the left flat unencumbered on first-and-goal from the 1 and hauled in Mannings floater to help the Broncos beat Tampa Bay 31-23.Manning has thrown 100 TD passes in the regular season since his arrival in Denver.His first in a Broncos uniform was the 400th of his career and it came on a 71-yard screen pass to Demaryius Thomas.Manning figures to surpass Favres record of 508 TD throws later this month.Behind them are Dan Marino (420), Drew Brees (370), Brady (363), Fran Tarkenton (342) and John Elway (300).Told he has nearly 200 more TD passes than his boss, Manning said: He probably has a few more rushing touchdowns that I do.Elway has 33 of those, Manning, 18.Notes: LB Lerentee McCray (knee) practiced for the first time since getting hurt against Kansas City on Sept. 14. That left S David Bruton (ankle) as the only player who didnt practice. RG Louis Vasquez (ribcage) was limited. ... Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw and point guard Ty Lawson attended Wednesdays practice.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Custom Lakers Jersey .5 million, two-year contract that runs through 2015.

The 22-year-old Algeria international, who played for France at Under 21 level, has made 87 league appearances in four seasons at Saint-Etienne.OTTAWA -- Eugene Melnyk expects to make the playoffs every year, and when his team misses out he plans to make sure it doesnt happen again. The Ottawa Senators owner voiced his disappointment over the teams performance this season in a conference call with media Tuesday, and said changes could be coming. Melnyk said he and general manager Bryan Murray are "in the process of evaluating everything, our players, our prospects and our coaching staff." "Definitely not a wholesale change, we just need to show up more often," Melnyk added. "I think we need leadership. I think we need accountability from top to bottom and thats more of a mindset and it could also reflect the maturity of the team and as they mature, dont kid yourself, because I did some exit interviews and these are not happy campers." While there had been speculation that head coach Paul MacLean could be relieved of his duties, that doesnt appear to be the case. "I think its pretty certain, well I can assure you Pauls our coach," said Melnyk. "And hes going to be our coach going into next year, but were evaluating everything within the hockey operations, but as far as the leadership is concerned thats staying put." Thats not to say management was overly impressed with MacLeans performance this past season. "They should have done better," said Murray of the coaching staff. "Unless you win a championship I think you can say that about everybody. I think there were some stages in the year where maybe a different decision could have been made." On Monday MacLean admitted that he went into the season with the belief that he needed to be more demanding of his players, and Murray said it probably wasnt the wisest strategy. "My note to him today was the players like the old Paul," Murray said. "They like the guy that sat and talked to them, treated them in a more easy-going fashion, that taught, not confronted. "There were some mistakes made obviously. You dont go to some of your better players and confront them early in the year and expect change. The change is usually in the negative form. I think what Paul did two years leading up to this was a real strong indication of the type of coach he is. I think as you go through your career you learn lots of things and I think its a stage that hell be much better because of it." Murrays biggest decision in the off-season could be whether or not to move captain Jason Spezza. Spezza has one more year remaining on a contract that has a cap hit of US$7 million, but a salary of $4 million. Speculation of Spezza being traded surfaced at the trade deadline and one has to wonder if the Senators feel now is the time to make a significant change. "I think Jason understands what his role was and is," said Melnyk. "Hes a professional. He understands youre here today, could be gone tomorrow. "Its very dependent on what other pieces we have to put together and I think at the end of the day hes just one of 20 plus players that participated this year and we just didnt get it done. " Murray said Spezza was one of five players going into the final year of a contract and that all five, in addition to this years three unrestricted free agents, would be evaluated. Swingman Robert Horry Jersey. "Im not sure why Jason is the single guy here being evaluated," Murray said. "Number one I guess maybe he wore the C and thats part of it, but we, I believe, have five guys going into their last year and decisions have to be made and they will be made at the right time." The Senators actually have six players entering the final year of their contract including Spezza. Bobby Ryan, Clarke MacArthur, Erik Condra, Marc Methot and Craig Anderson will all be looking for new contracts next season. At this point it seems Ryan could be the first to re-sign as both parties seem eager to come to terms on a new agreement. Milan Michalek, Ales Hemsky and Matt Kassian are all unrestricted free agents this season and it appears Michalek could be the only one returning. Murray said Kassian isnt in his plans and he didnt believe the Senators were in Kassians plans. As for Hemsky, it doesnt appear he will return. Michalek has expressed an interest in returning and its likely term and money will play a factor. The Senators have a number of young players who will be pushing for playing time and they want to ensure theres room. Murray said Mark Stone, who played 19 games this season and had eight points (4 goals, 4 assists), now looks like an NHL player and was impressed with Jean-Gabriel Pageaus play late in the season. He also mentioned that Curtis Lazar looks to be NHL ready and will be pushing for a roster spot as well as a few others who are currently playing in Binghamton. In addition, Murray said the Senators would like to find a tougher forward. The Senators have three restricted free agents, Mike Hoffman, Eric Gryba and Robin Lehner, that Murray will need to make decisions on. Lehner, 22, will likely be the priority, considering Anderson will be heading into the final year of his contract. "I still think to be a good team in the league you need two goaltenders," Murray said. "You need both that can win games for you. I think Robins very close (to being a number one goalie). I think if we gave him the stick and said go in the net and play every night I think he could win a lot of hockey games for us." Financially the Senators are in good shape, but they dont anticipate significantly increasing their salary structure. "Its very, very easy to increase payroll, any idiot can do it and a lot of idiots do and they overspend and they go to the cap and Ive done it twice and both times it didnt make an impact," Melnyk said. The Senators owner says he prefers to spend money on various resources that can be used in the development of players on the roster and in the minors. Notes: Much was made last Saturday when Kassian didnt dress for the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but Murray said a decision had been made earlier in the day when a call between he and Toronto GM Dave Nonis took place. Nonis wanted to call up a young player, but was concerned that if Kassian was in the lineup things could get physical and so Murray assured Nonis he wouldnt play Kassian.
