This weeks blog, I decided to write about a current event that really hits home to me. This is the retirement of the "Greatest Of All Time" Peyton Manning. Manning has been my favorite NFL player since I was born in 1996. I was born into the birth of football in the state of Indiana. Football I strongly believe would have not hit Indiana without the placement of Peyton Manning in the state and most importantly in the horseshoe and blue of the Colts organization. Peyton put football a special place in my heart, where I can honestly say I love football because of him. Peyton has been a role model in the state as well with the major payments he has given to Methodist hospital where it is now named after him, in gratitude. Peyton has been a role model and will continue to be as I continue to grow into the adult, I am becoming. Manning is the reason I played football in high school, from watching all his years in Indy and than to Denver. As Manning announced his retirement, a part of me felt lost. I do not know what the NFL will consist of with Peyton not under center every Sunday, and honestly I wish I would never find out, but unfortunately Father Time is undefeated. Peyton you will be deeply missed, and I want to say Thank-You for everything these past 18 wonderful roller-coaster years.
