Manning Up
Disclaimer: Lethargy and Ignorance are the antithesis of man. What do you think of him? Good? Witty? Sexy? I might answer all of the above. If you asked me to define Peyton Manning, I would define him as a man. Sure Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback of our generation (and if you tell me I am wrong, Tom Brady went to MICHIGAN). Yes, Peyton Manning quite possibly created the best SNL within recent memory, and just ask ten random girls what they think about that number 18. Seven point five would say he is sexy. So what makes me define Peyton Manning as man (no pun intended)? It is the considerate personality that Peyton [Middle Name] Manning portrays on the football field. Some may characterize Manning’s talent as pure immortal. His perception of defense is certainly uncanny, and Manning’s offensive ability is so remarkable, that I personally have the audacity to claim that Peyton [Middle Name] Manning is the best quarterback of our generation. With all of that being said, I am a San Diego Super Charger fan, but I digress. If you have not heard of Austin Collie by now (using my ten days to my advantage,) you might want to know me as Jesus Christ Superstar. Yes, to me, it is THAT play that defined Peyton Manning as man. If you were watching this game, you know that Collie was knocked out by Kurt Coleman (yes THAT Kurt Coleman). If you were watching this game, you would also know that although the Eagles held the lead at the time, the Colts had Philadelphia’s defense on its heels. Inevitably, Peyton Manning was going to lead the Colts to another November victory (check that stat and tell me I am wrong). One instance that caught my attention was as Austin Collie was being carted off the field, Peyton Manning came over and mouthed a few words resembling “my bad.” Now, if Peyton Manning was immortal, if Peyton Manning lived up to the expectation of the greatest player of our generation, I would be a richer person. Essentially, if Peyton Manning was what some people label Jim Tressel to be as a coach, Indianapolis would have done what they were inevitably going to do: beat Philadelphia in a dog fight. Yet, it was the antithesis of that warrior mentality, that mentality that any good football player should have, that proved to me that Peyton Manning is human after all. A good one at that,
