Very, very tragic accident.

Sad, sad day and situation.

I must follow the great 1 8 to wherever he lands. I became his fan especially because the Lions were empty without Sanders, Moore, and any attempt to make the playoffs was not present.

I have always believed in Manning.

Through all those playoff games.

So many tries before the Super Bowl.

So much dogging that he couldn’t do it, so much true success completely overlooked year in and year out.

Work that was built, layer by layer, player by player, year by year.

Manning leaves behind twin DE’s, Freeney & Mathis.
