People think David is great and all these things but most don’t know when he was was a city council member he was convicted of check forgery when he attempted to forge a $48,000 check from a non profit (that he was also executive director of) so he could use the money towards his campaign for a seat in congress.

Been a Pats fan for over 20 years now. Always loved the battles Tom and Payton had, there was never a need for hate. It takes steel to sharpen steel and neither would be the same without the other pushing each other to greatness.

Tony Dungey's comments really nailed it. What Peyton did for Indianapolis continues to reverberate. I wonder how many children and parents lives will forever be changed for the better by the Peyton Manning Childrens hospital. If there is ever a HOF for "class acts"... Peyton should be the first inductee.

[@abdihassan7208]

did he start the hospital? as in, does he own it? thats amazing

I miss those days, but I'm great ful I got to have 18 as my Q.B.

[@josamaroo]

Peyton was my hero growing up and he's the reason I appreciate and love football so much. I remember being a 14 year old kid watching my first NFL Draft just so I could see my team, Indianapolis Colts, draft the greatest QB of All-time. Shortly after that I went to Indiana Beach on a day where a few Colts players were signing autographs but Peyton wasn't there and I was so bummed. I remember all of the heartaches and triumphs during his illustrious career and they'll never ever be another Peyton Manning. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES AND FOR WINNING THE SUPERBOWL FOR THE HOOSIER STATE. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER “SHERIFF” PEYTON MANNING.
