The Facts:
Manning thumbed his way through questions about his injured throwing hand Wednesday. "I attended the Bill Belichick school of discussing injuries, so there's my answer," Manning said, drawing laughter.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Belichick, the Patriots' coach, is known for keeping the status of injured players secret and Manning took advantage of a rare opportunity to do his own impersonation by giving no update on his right thumb. In fact, Manning kept both hands in his pockets as he walked into a news conference three days after hurting it, and when he gestured at the lectern, Manning carefully used his left hand. ... Still, X-rays on the thumb were negative and Manning is expected to play as usual in the Feb. 4 Super Bowl.
