ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As evidenced by the proliferating number of pranks he's pulling, Peyton Manning has gotten comfortable in Denver as he enters his second season with the Broncos.

His teammates warn that Manning might not want to get too cozy, although none of them has gotten back at the productive prankster.

"I think a lot of guys are going to jump at that opportunity. So we've just got to plan something out real good for him and get him when it counts," Manning's latest victim, right tackle Orlando Franklin, said Wednesday.

Manning had gathered more than two dozen of his teammates for a trip to the Yankees-Rockies game Tuesday night and engineered the gag in which receiver Eric Decker sneaked up on Franklin and smashed the 330-pound offensive lineman in the face with a shaving cream pie while he was doing a live TV interview.

Just about all of his teammates except Manning, who was surveying the scene like George Washington crossing the Delaware, were recording the interview on their cellphones when Decker decked him from behind.

Franklin tweeted afterward that Manning was the mastermind of the prank and pledged payback, writing "revenge will be mine." He included a picture of himself after Decker hit him in the face with the pie.

Decker told the NFL Network on Thursday that because it was the first baseball game Franklin had attended, he wanted to "welcome" him to the sport by smashing the pie in his face, which is a prank that has become a tradition among Major League Baseball players when teammates are interviewed on TV after starring in a victory.

Last month, Decker was the victim of a gag when Manning tricked him into thinking he owed $3,000 to cover the costs of working out with him at Duke University.

Decker said it took him 15 minutes to realize that the bill, complete with state taxes, was fake.

He, too, vowed to get back at Manning.

"There's some stuff in the works," Decker said Wednesday, upon returning to Denver. "I got some intel from some people on his side."

Franklin said he uncharacteristically let his guard down Tuesday night after he'd been drafted to talk on TV about attending his first baseball game.
