Like every time he DONATES a million to UT? That children’s hospital in Indianapolis completely funded by the PeyBack Foundation? How much has he banked off those moves?

Thanx butchna for the post.

 

[awaitingawin]

Did he do this for free no compensation from sporting goods suppliers?

Don't bring that stuff in the forum Dan. Probably best you delete the post. Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb

Mine also. I haven't been in that locker room in many years, but watching that brought back some great memories. I had some fun on that football field.

I bet those youngsters were on cloud 9 when Peyton walked into the room.

Did not see this posted but Riddell gave several equipment grants and one was to Rogersville Middle School Football.

And along with the grant and new equipment, guess who shows up to give it??

Peyton RULES!!!

This was posted the other day. Still a great story.

I'm glad the kids got the gear, and that they met Peyton. I sometimes question Peyton's motives.

Wow.

Manning, a multi-millionaire who routinely gives millions away for Scholarships at UT and charities in general, who doesn’t need to make another dime for the rest of the time he’s on earth.....goes out of his way to go to represent a company giving free gear to an underserved middle school, not to mention his time and attention which wound up being the thrill of a lifetime for those kids.....and the first you can do is question his motives?

Perhaps you should take a break from VN for a minute to regroup.

Love Peyton.....I just wish he'd surprise all of us and appear in the huddle!

Simply saying there's a little mercenary in Peyton.

Good point. Bet there's millions to be made from that middle school.

No worries, brother. We've all been there.

Outstanding

WOW!!! That video brings back old memories. RMS will definately put that equipment to good use. When I went there 40 years ago the facilities were way outdated and the administration did great with what little support they had. It is amazing that the building is still serviceable.

Unreal comment...just unbelievable that you are taking a shot at this VFL doing something incredibly positive for a small local program. Just unreal...

Hey dan4vols post up some stuff you’ve done for your community so we can judge if it was self serving mercenary work or not.

Rumor is that Rogersville Middle has a QB and two wide outs on the early Rivals top 100 list....I KID, I KID, I KID...

Seriously cool though to see Peyton continue to give back to the sport.
