Ode to Peyton




Appreciation is what he deserves, but will he get it?
Many people are now looking at Peyton as the inferior brother, who seemingly can’t keep up with his younger brother. Many people nowadays have short term memory, especially when it comes to a athletes astonishing accomplishments. Peyton, though only winning one superbowl, will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks in history, and rightfully so. People forgot just how great Peyton was, Two Super Bowls, four NFL MVPs, 11 Pro Bowls, and 11 playoff appearances is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
            I think Peyton should quit while he is ahead, and not risk another life threatening neck injury. Although doctors and surgeons are saying he’s been given the stamp of approval, they are paid to do so. He’s got two young kids at home, why not just spend more time with them?But I digress; I just don’t want him to go out like Brett Favre, frankly old and cranky. Peyton should retire now, he’s got nothing to prove, as I will always see him as the superior Manning brother, even though he’s got one less ring than his brother .In true Peyton fashion, you won a superbowl while it rained Miami. Why? Because you’d practiced throwing wet footballs for weeks because it “might” rain. You put a team on your back and eventually you put them on the map. And for that, you will be missed.

  1. It's about that time that Eli is the only remaining Manning at play. Fans will always have that concern for Peyton. He should look toward the commentating aspect of the game
