Manning's been robbed of appropriate acknowledgement before. See, e.g., Heisman Trophy.

Those of us who are old enough remember that his father, Archie, should have been a Heisman Trophy winner as well. During the Civil Rights Movement era, some of the voters were known to have said that they would not vote for someone from Mississippi.

Archie was the most exciting quarterback that I have ever watched. If you haven't seen The Book of Manning, get it. It provides a hint of what he was like, both on and off the field.

Maybe a month or two back there was an hour or maybe two hour long program about the Mannings. Archie was a real home movie addict and there was plenty of film of the kids growing up.

They also showed a lot of footage of Archie playing with Ole Miss and I had forgotten just how good he was. Maybe the best there ever was. He had the misfortune of playing for one of the worst pro teams ever.
