For anyone born in Indiana between 1990-2000, the glorious shadow of one Peyton Williams Manning was inescapable. Peyton, along with Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James, ruled this province with an iron, touchdown-machine fist. Few athletes have owned a city the way Peyton did. An incredible percentage of the state lived and died by what this man produced on a weekly basis and most of the time, we lived very well. Of course, nothing good can last and the marriage eventually fell apart. I’ll never forget where I was the day I watched Peyton choke up as he thanked Indiana for 14 beautiful yearAs a levelheaded man, I can comfortably admit that the Colts made the right move parting ways with The Sheriff. They put business over emotion and dumped, at the time, an injured Peyton for the future of the league in one Andrew Luck. I 100% can’t fault them in that. With that being said, I’m still 100% rooting for Manning until the day he retires.
My head wants the Colts to do well, but my heart is still with the man that got me into football and sports in general. Without Manning, there wouldn’t be a Lucas Oil Stadium, and Jack Nicholson would probably have season box seats to Los Angeles Colts games. Until he hangs it up for good, I’m riding it out with Peyton the Gawd.
A few months ago, P Murder announced that he was returning to Denver for would could very likely be his last NFL season. As such, I feel obligated to write about the man while he’s still playing. Peyton’s already had enough written about his statistical success to fill the Library of Congress. So instead here is the definitive, totally objective, absolutely indisputable list of the 6 biggest power moves of Peyton Manning’s career.
