Want to get Peyton Manning laughing? Ask him about Tony Reginelli, his high school football coach at Isidore Newman in New Orleans.
Want Manning to take you inside his recruitment? Bring up David Cutcliffe, the Tennessee offensive coordinator who, along with coach Phillip Fulmer, won the brouhaha to bring him to Rocky Top.
And want to get Manning to re-live his rookie NFL season when it was assumed nothing went right? Mention Tom Moore, his Indianapolis Colts play-caller.
The stories will flow in rich detail.
Manning, who played the final four years of his career with the Broncos and remains a Denver area resident, will be inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Sunday night.
