[ male announcer ] we can't hide how proud we are to have nine top safety picks like the passat and jetta. so we're celebrating with our "safety in numbers" event. that's the power of german engineering. right now lease the 2012 jetta for $159 a month.

mark is here now with the wjz the fan sports report. this is the most talked about football move move. >> it is a big deal when you are talking about this guy. we know the ravens schedule is going to be out in a few weeks. and baltimore will be anxious to see when the denver broncos will be coming to down.

the broncos have a new quarterback. and he is, as expected, peyton manning. manning was introduced less than two weeks after he was let go by the indianapolis colts. signs a lucrative deal with denver. $95 million. manning will get about $20 million this season. 14 seasons of hall of fame play with the colts. manning moves now to the mime high city and talks about his decision to sign with denver. >> you have options. and you really believe that you can make any of them work. and i've always believed that it's up to me and and the people here around me to make this the right decision. you know, it will be speculated on and debated for months to come, whether it was the right decision or not. i'm going to go out and try to make it the right decision. >> he's a guy that is going to make our football team -- he's already made them better. and they haven't all met him yet. just because of the type of person he shis rep -- he is,

his reputation and what he's done in this league. he's just going be to be a tremendous effect on the denver broncos. and i couldn't be happier that he chose to play with us. >> reporter: he would not say what the plans are for tim tebow, the charismatic qb who led the broncos. one guy the ravens won't be facing anymore is long-time steelers receiver heinz ward. he announced his retirement in pittsburgh today, calling it quits three weeks after the steelers released him. ravens' nemisis. ward won two super bowls with the steelers. and he was once named mvp. now he is done with football. >> i don't want to play it in any other uniform. the black and gold rose deep in me. and i will remain a philly for life. >> ward was one of those the

ravens loved to hate. he got into it can safety bernard pollard. there were several of those over the years. heinz ward finishes his career with exactly 1,000 pass receptions. in baseball news, it's rarely flood guzz when a pitch -- rarely good news when a pitcher has an point with this doctor. the renowned doctor will be looking at his ailing left shoulder. it has been a nagging problem all spring. in fact, briton says he has had pain since last year. it is not likely he'll be part of the pitching staff in may. that leaves a greater point for lefty brian matusz. matusz with five innings. allows one run. having a pretty good spring. orioles hitters face ray halliday. jones here drives the halliday pitch that will drive in nolan

reimold. but that will be the only run of the game. opening day, to be exact, is 17 days away. >> i can't wait. >> let's get them going. >> all right. >> all right. thanks, mark. ,,,,,,,,
