It's All in the Game

More on the Manning bowl.  This was the football game where Quarterback Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos faced off against younger brother Eli, Quarterback for the New York Giants.  The siblings have met twice previously; both times the elder Manning, Peyton having emerged the victor.  All I have to say is I’d hate to be Eli on Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad’s house.

During the game, I listened to the female reporter on the sideline as she re-capped a conversation she had with Archie Manning, father to the dueling Quarterbacks about having to watch his two sons compete against each other.  The reporter said, and I quote, “Archie said it’s not easy.  He doesn’t enjoy it at all.”  Doesn’t that just break your heart? 

Maybe the millions and millions and millions of dollars his sons each make a year will help ease poor Archie’s pain.
