ESPN does such great documentaries ! Man, this one really hit home with me being a father of 4. I loved getting to see how good Archie Manning was in football! Also didn't know all he went through growing up. But getting to see him as a father was probably the best part. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must watch !
Book Of Manning.. Anyone else watch??

It was amazing! Archie was given hell for letting Peyton go to UT and he just took it for his son's sake. Not only an awesome athlete but and awesome father. Great documentary and I highly recommend everyone watch it.

I DVR'd it and hope to watch it sometime today.
I have known the Mannings for a long time. I have sent many of my QB'S to their camp. They are good people. If any of you guys out there have kids who play or want to play QB I think you should look into sending your kid there. Your kid would not only learn about skills at QB, but many life lessons as well. Beware though it is not a country club atmosphere, they are on point and will work the daylights out of your kid, and he will love it!

Archie provided a great example for his son's to follow. No wonder all three of them live good lives free of controversy. I loved what Cutcliffe and Fulmer said about Archie. "He was a Dad first and foot ball player second". Coopers story will almost bring a tear to your eyes.

Enjoyed it immensely! Still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Heisman screwing Peyton got. Not saying Woodson wasn't talented; just saying I would think that I would want my vote going to someone dedicated to a clean life, an education, and image, rather than a thug. And yes, Woodson was a thug at that time, regardless of how he lives now.

Oh yeah, and having Kiner on there was a treat! Talk about a 180!!! I remember him; he was about as wild as one could get without going to prison back then. Tough ballplayer though.

... couldn't find it last night? I looked on ESPN, ESPN2, nada. But It is SUPPOSED to be on tonight at ESPN U Comcast cable 396 at 6;30pm. So I'll try again tonight! All that I've heard is good things about the show. I want to see what they have to say about my Dad's favorite football player of all time, "Archie Who"? Dad may still have a Tennessee "Archie Who" button. At the time he wasn't much of a football fan at all and did everything he could to keep me from playing. But When Tennessee started the famous "Archie Who" campaign and buttons, he got interested. Then when the gangly, raw boned, red headed "Mississippi Mule" {as the Tennessee fans referred to him} kicked the crap out of the Big Orange, he became a huge fan.
