As you read the title, maybe you’re wondering if I skipped over a simple typo or that I’m going to explain to you the true Manning of sports. The fact is that learning about sports couldn’t have come with a more influential sports mind than Peyton Manning. Peyton is considered one of the great quarterbacks, who dominated an era of NFL football as he won a Super bowl and several MVP trophies. I had the pleasure this summer to be invited to the Argus Leader South Dakota Sports Awards Banquet,…

suspension of star New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, which the league imposed on Mr. Brady for his alleged involvement in a scheme to slightly deflate the footballs in the first half of last season's AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. After eight months, millions of dollars and the people's court time have been taken up with the question of whether the team violated league rules by removing a tiny bit of air from the footballs, supposedly making them easier to grasp…

The conflicting family, the McCoys, were located across the Tug Fork in Pike County Kentucky. The leader of this family was Randolph McCoy, or “Randall/ Ran’I”. Both of these families were spread all over the…

exciting pregame festivities. I mostly sat around and watched TV until it was time to go to the game. When it was time to go I put on my Peyton Manning jersey. Peyton Manning had always been my favorite football player even though he played for the Colts, but now since he played for my favorite team it was the best of both worlds. We got into the minivan and started on our route to the game. As the stadium got closer and closer my anticipation was going through the roof. When we got to the…

people are on their best behavior, little things do not matter or not mentioned. When your exclusive people find their own center and compromise begins and this is the first hurdle. When you decide to get married things start to tilt on an axis, McCoy learned that he revolved around his wife, he would not freely admit this to anyone. While at the bank, he became friendly with a co-worker, who seemed in many ways more worldly than his 30 years would suggest. There were just slight things, his…
