Dear Mr. Manning..

Although accomplishments mean everything to the analysts, the game and a spot in the Hall of Fame, I believe she captures what the true meaning of legacy is. She is spot on in my opinion. There is not a better advocate for the game of football and more importantly, life than Peyton Manning. Yes, people will remember him for his numbers and accomplishments but the lasting impressions left on individuals will be that of his actions off the field.

This is a very well spoken view on what is important in life. All of Peyton Manning's accomplishments as a player will not have the effect on up and coming children and youth as will his character. Our young ones need more examples such as Peyton instead of the examples of athletes such as Alex Rodriquez or those that have been caught up in the drug scandles associated with all sports. Kudos to Peyton and others that are not afraid to express their faith even though our society is quick to criticize those that do.

I thought it was going to be an article urging him to hang em up. That's my hope. My other hope would be that he would then immediately join our coaching staff! Hey... We all can dream

Wow! Excellant article written by the mom. So many people could learn alot, not just football by following a man like Peyton Manning. To be such a superb athelete and also a man of class and honor when you see so many fail in the "off field" life. Its so great to see a man like Manning and felt so good when my daughter named her only child so far Peyton. He is teaching young people all around this country lessons that mean so much more than football, basketball, baseball or any other sport. God Bless you Peyton Manning and thank you for being the example we all should strive to be.

Soon as I saw the name Mike Greenberg I knew that it was about a jerk/puss

Great summary of a 'legacy' in the letter. It is not about 'who dies with the most toys wins', but is about how many people have you improved.

This is a touching letter but we will never know how Peyton truely feels about his own legacy. He may have the same attitude as all of the analysts and feels he's personally not worthy of greatness until he gets more rings. Then again, he could announce his retirement in a few weeks and not care what people think. The bottom line is we'll never really know.

I missed it Monday due to sleep from working 3rd, but what did Greenberg and Carter say? I can imagine they were on their high horse bc every other ESPN show apparently thought Peyton was the only person who played the game, offense, defense and ST...bc he was the only person they blamed the loss on, not that the Broncos lost but Peyton lost.

Well said- Chris Carter and other "haters" are ignorant. Manning is one of the best if not the best to play QB all time. He has a ring and 5 MVP's and many NFL records. Case closed. If he had no ring then I would listen to the critics.

NFL Peyton Manning plays Pebble pro-am - ESPN

This is apsalutley un accepteble, playing holg after that disaster. Just shows that Peyton doesn't care anymore, he should be watching film not ppretending to be Arnold Nicklaus if he actually had the desire to win in football.

Maybe once you put the sauce down or learn to spell you will realize that there is probably no one in football who comes as prepared as Peyton does to a game. Besides, Peyton does a lot of these events for charities. While Peyton fell short in the SB, the rest of his team simply dove off a cliff - so give the man a break for a few days to get his head right after that brutal disappointment. In the meantime, dont make a fool of yourself with stupid statements about Peyton's lack of "desire to win" :glare:

Questioning Peyton's desire to win? Wow, even the "jerk" analyst aren't dumb enough to do that.:loco:

I'd love to see Peyton retire (not risk his injured neck any more) and come coach QBs at Tennessee. Maybe OC from there. However, I have no idea if he wants to coach or not.

Peyton is still a choker. He started doing stuff when the game was already over in the 3rd quarter. The terrible coordination of the O is peytons fault. He makes the calls on who blocks who, and who goes where.
