WAS A GOOD ONE. WHAT AN HONOR
TO BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT SO MANY
IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF YOUR
CAREER. IT'S A HUGE PART OF MY
CAREER TO BE HONEST AND I'M SO
GRATEFUL. WHETHER IT WAS YOUR
LAST COLLEGE GAME, YOUR TWO
SUPER BOWL VICTORIES OR YOUR
LAST GAME EVER PLAYED. AND
EVEN THOUGH I MAKE MY LIVING
WITH MY WORDS, YOU AS A PLAYER
AND A PERSON SO OFTEN TIMES
BEYOND DISCRIPTION. YOU ARE
TRULY A HALL OF FAMER IN EVERY
SENSE. AND I'M SO PROUD TO
CALL YOU A FRIEND.
CONGRATULATIONS, HALL OF
FAMER. YOU ARE THE VERY
BEST."))
*PHI*) WHAT A WEEKEND IT
WILL BE FOR FORMER COLTS
QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING.
*ALEXI*) HE'LL BE INDUCTED
INTO THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF
FAME SUNDAY NIGHT. LET'S GET
BACK OUT TO SPORTS DIRECTOR
ANTHONY CALHOUN IN WESTFIELD
FOR THE VERY LATEST ON NUMBER
18. AC?!
AHEAD OF PEYTON MANNING'S PRO
FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME
INDUCTION, SPECIAL VOICES FROM
HIS PAST SPEAK UP TO TRY AND
PUT THIS REMARKABLE STORY INTO
WORDS. TONIGHT OUR CHARLIE
CLIFFORD TRACKS DOWN 'PEYTON'S
INSIDERS' FOR THEIR TAKE ON
THIS HISTORIC MOMENT.
REGGIE WAYNE: "THE ELITE OF
THE ELITE." JEFF SATURDAY:
"LIKE, NFL ROYALTY RIGHT?"
DALLAS CLARK: "LIKE HE CAN'T
GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. IT
WOULD TAKE HIM AN HOUR." BEING
PEYTON MANNING. EVEN HIS
CLOSESTS COLTS TEAMMATES CAN'T
FATHOM THE FAME. BUT PEYTON
MANNING THEIR FRIEND? THESE
STORIES... LAUGHS FOR A
LIFETIME... BEGINNING WITH HIS
OLD HIGH SCHOOL COACH. TONY
REGINELLI: "WE WOULD PLAY ON
FRIDAY NIGHT AND HERE WE ARE
ON SATURDAY MORNING, HE IS THE
FIRST ONE IN THE DOOR (AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL) BESIDE ONE OF MY
COACHES. HE WANTS TO KNOW IF I
HAVE STUDIED THE FILM AND
EVERYTHING. WE HADN'T EVEN PUT
THE UNIFORMS YET AND HE IS
THINKING ABOUT THE NEXT TEAM."
JEFF SATURDAY: "P (PEYTON) AND
I MIXED UP THE SNAP COUNT. I
STILL THINK IT WAS HIS FAULT.
I STILL THINK HE SCREWED IT
UP. HE BLAMES ME, BUT NEEDLESS
TO SAY WE ARE IN THE MUD WITH
OUR FACES MUSHED DOWN
SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER. HE IS
IN HIS REAL HIGH PITCHED VOICE
SCEAMING 'IT WAS ON TWO!' JIM
SORGI: "HE NEVER PUT HIMSELF
IN A POSITION WHERE YOU COULD
CONFIRM OR DENY THAT IT WAS
HIM DOING THE PRANK. THE BEST
PRANK... SUPPOSEDLY,
ALLEGEDLY, A GOLF CART ENDED
UP ON A RAFT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE TOWN AT ROSE HULMANN
(TRAING CAMP) (LAUGHTER).
DALLAS CLARK: "AT OUR SUMMER
WORKOUTS, AT THE END OF THE
WORKOUTS WE WOULD DO THESE
PLANKS. THE FUNNIEST THING IN
THE WORLD HE WOULD JUST
BASICALLY ROAST ALL OF THE
ROOKIES. TALK ABOUT PROM, TALK
ABOUT DATES... HARD KNOCKS.
THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT. IT
WOULD BE PRICELESS." CHARLIE
CLIFFORD: "WHETHER YOU VISIT
THE STATUTE, THE STADIUM, OR
THE CITY... TRACES OF PEYTON
MANNING WILL NEVER DISSAPEAR
AROUND HERE. NOR WILL LESSONS
ABOUT LIFE... PASSED ON MY THE
MAN WHO WAS LARGER THAN LIFE
IN INDY." WAYNE: "(PEYTON)
LAID THE GROUNDWORK AND HE WAS
A TEACHER FOR ALL OF US. WE
SAT BACK AND WATCHED HIM AND
LEARNED." SATURDAY: "ANYTHING
HE ASKED YOU TO DO, HE HAD
ALREADY DONE. THAT IS PROBABLY
WHAT I APPRECIATED MOST."
CLARK: "IT'S NOT ABOUT
CATCHING TOUCHDOWNS AND
GETTING FIRST DOWNS. WE HAVE
THIS PLATFORM WHERE WE CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE." WITHOUT
QUESTION OF THE GAME'S GREATEST
AMBASSADORS. SOMEHOW...JUST
ONE OF THE GUYS. CHARLIE
CLIFFORD ALL ACCESS INDY...
HALL OF FAME.
