I bought a Manning figure to make fun of him a couple seasons back… he ended up winning that game, beating the Patriots in 2014. Tossed him in a box, never to use again, until today. Two weeks ago, I was instantly rooting for Carolina. I like Cam Newton, I got a few friends in Charlotte, I have been ‘hating” Manning since the last century, seemed to make sense. Now, I am kind of rooting for the old (3 years younger than me) man. You could say Manning made the Patriots better over the years. Good luck Peyton, hope your defense gets you a ring. p.s. I will not be buying a Ram figure if it goes that way.
