Yea my bad, i finished it and lazily didnt feel like changing it before submitting. 🥴 I will probably make another change or 2 and repost a final version by draft day anyways, so…
One thing I have never done is meet Peyton Manning. I have been to around 50 home games during my Fandom from 1987-2013 regarding going to games. I met Jim Harbaugh and got his autograph when I went to the Chargers game in 1996. He chatted with me for around 2 or 3 minutes. Called me Bud over and over and was so nice and he kept smiling at my mom . I was only 25 then. Just going to the Masters alone had to be a treat but talking to Peyton had to be the cherry on top. Great stuff man.
I just thought I would take this opportunity to brag a bit about the fact that I had the opportunity to chat with Peyton at the Masters last week for about 5 minutes. Truly a bucket list experience and I must say, he has the Southern Hospitality that one might expect but wow- did not expect to run into him and it was quite the experience. It just had to be the one place left on earth where cell phones are banned, so no picture opportunity unfortunately.
I told Peyton that my first Colts experience was riding to Buffalo in a blizzard when the Colts were 14-0 and they benched him only to lose that game. I said thanks for my first Colts experience being one where he was riding the pine. He laughed, apologized to me and said that if it was up to him he would have been checking down in that snow storm for 4 quarters. He thanked me for the support, and was asking me a bit about myself, where I am from, etc. Quite the gentleman! I think it was obligatory for him to be nice to patrons while he was wearing his Green Jacket, but none the less....a great experience meeting a childhood hero. Lynn Swann walked up to us while we were talking and shook Peyton's hand. I joked that now was the perfect time for a 10 yard slant- and then slid into the bushes like Homer Simpson with humility.
Unforgettable experience everyone!
Would love to hear some of your Peyton stories from over the years, since it is a bit of a slow time of year before the draft! Let it fly Colts fans

Soundtrack #13......
I've been waiting for so long now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall as we felt this magic fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes there's no way we could disguise secretly
So we take each other's hand cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember you're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you one thing this could be love because....

Soundtrack #12.....
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When your chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
