Broncos LB Von Miller
The Unwritten Peyton Manning Rule

Peyton Manning is OFF-LIMITS in practice ... and any defensive teammate who even thinks about SNEEZING too hard around PM could wind up on a missing persons list ... this according to Von Miller.

The Denver Broncos superstar linebacker -- who signed a $21 million contract in 2011 -- was at the Playboy mansion this week ... when he spelled it out for us -- NO ONE TOUCHES MANNING.

"I have never even touched ... even got CLOSE to Peyton Manning," Miller said ... "We know how important he is to our team. We don't get close to him."

Of course, Manning's not just valuable -- he's fragile -- with serious neck issues.

So, what would happen to someone who broke the unwritten rule?  According to Miller, it ain't good.

Former Dodgers Pitcher Justin Miller -- Found Dead

Justin Miller
Former Dodgers Pitcher
Found Dead
Former MLB Pitcher Justin Miller has been found dead  ...  and cause of death is a mystery.

The 35-year-old's body was discovered Wednesday night in Palm Harbor, FL -- where he was living -- but authorities have not said exactly where.  

Miller played in the Major Leagues for 15 seasons -- most recently for the L.A. Dodgers back in 2010. He also played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins and SF Giants.

He was best known for the large number of tattoos on his arms, which inspired the "Justin Miller Rule" in 2004 -- forcing him to wear long sleeves when he pitched, since players found his ink too distracting.

He's survived by his wife Jessica Miller and two sons.  Jessica isn't giving any indication as to how he died, but does say it was sudden.

RIP.
