today i'm wishing peyton manning really said this
"Each turnover has its own story that no one really
wants to hear," Manning said afterward. He then paused, looked in every
reporter's eyes, and said, "Actually, let's do this. Turnover one was a
lonely girl with big dreams who wanted to escape the drudgery of life in
her tiny Nebraska town. Her father was an undertaker, but she longed
for more, so she joined a traveling circus. She found joy and she
married a carnie, but late one drunken night she died while riding the
zipper and they sent her body back to her father. INTERCEPTION. Turnover
two was a lot like the boy in Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer." Poor
kid, ragged people, bleeding winter, dead from boxing. INTERCEPTION.
Turnover three was just a bad pass. WRONG. TRICKED YOU. Each turnover
has a story, never forget that. Turnover three was the look my father
gave me one October morning, age 8, when I said I wanted to become an
artist. "I hate football, Daddy. I love paints and oils." Old Archie
threw me in the back of our pickup truck, drove me out to the woods, and
left me with nothing but a football for six days. It worked. I fell in
love with that football and named it Godfrey. My artistic dreams died
with the midnight howling of the wolves. INTERCEPTION. COME BACK,
GODFREY. But Godfrey's gone."
