TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many seasons did Peyton Manning play for the Colts?
A:14
THE MORNING BREW A letter to Manning from Chiefs fans
Dear Mr. Peyton Manning,
First off, I'd like to congratulate you on an amazing career in Indianapolis. You are a wonderful person.
Indianapolis. You were the face of the franchise and single-handedly built the team into what it is today. Without you, who knows where the Colts would be.
But those days are over, and you've begun the search for a new team. Look, I know there are 31 teams out there that are salvating at the thought of signing you, and I know there are rumors that you have recently declined a visit to Kansas City, but I refuse to believe the rumors until you stand behind the podium, put on the hat, and announce your decision in a press conference. Last time I fell for a rumor, I went to bed thinking that ace pitcher Cliff Lee had signed with the Yankees and that he and his wife were looking for houses in New York. I woke up the next morning to find that he took less money to sign with the Phillies. The media certainly missed that one, and since then, I
refuse to believe reports until they are official. So just hear me out, Peyton, because you'd be making a huge mistake by not signing with the Chiefs.
For starters, there's not much to dislike about Kansas City. It's in the heart of America, and has some of the nicest people and most passionate fans, and not to mention the best barbeque. You won't find that "homey" feeling anywhere in Arizona, Denver, or Miami, which is why Kansas City is the perfect place for you and for your kids to grow up in. If you're looking for some good shopping with the family, our very own Country Club Plaza will give you just that, while providing
stunning scenery with an abundance of fountains and statues. Then, of course, there's the place where you will be playing. Every time you run out of the tunnel at Arrowhead, you'll be stepping onto the field of one of the loudest stadiums in the nation, surrounded by 76,000 fans in a sea of red.
Then there's the team you'd be playing with. Look at what we were able to do without the best running back in the game, Imaaal Charles, our starting quarterback Matt Cassel and our young tight end Tony Moeaki; we came up one game short of the playoffs. Add them back into the mix, along with our great line of receivers led by Pro-Bowler Dwayne Bowe, and you have some pretty good targets to throw to.
Peyton, just look at how the Colts did without you as their quarterback last season. One year you take them to the Super Bowl finishing at 14-2, and two years later they finish last in the league at 2-14. Just imagine what you could do with this team in Kansas
City, the things you could accomplish. Not to mention the fact that you would look really sharp wearing red and gold.
The way I see it, there's no reason why you shouldn't want to sign with Kansas City. Without you, we are a pretty good team, but with you, we are immediate contenders. I'm not going to force you into this, I'm just saying you should highly consider it. We really want you here.
Signed, Every Kansas City Chiefs fan
