@Neal McCready has always said Father Time is undefeated. It’s just sad to see one of your heroes aging.
It’s a very sobering reminder of my own mortality for sure.
Pretty damn cool to watch Peyton and Eli have fun with Archie on Manningcast.
I had a once in a lifetime opportunity with Archie when I was at Ole Miss. Flag football challenge at the world congress center in Atlanta. Even in the mid 90’s he could still sling it. Drawing up plays on his hand for us to run. You just knew the plays would work. Was the highlight of my life. Then years later I see him on a sidewalk in the grove and he calls me by name. Me. A nobody. That was Archie. You guys can hate on the Mannings all you want. Life is too short to not appreciate what great people they are.
We all have our flaws.
