A fourth Manning quarterback could be on the way. Rachel Evans of the Neshoba Democrat (of Philadelphia, MI - Peyton and his mother Olivia's hometown) reports that Peyton and Ashley Manning are the parents of twins. Marshall Williams Manning and his sister Mosley Thompson Manning were born in Indianapolis on March 31.
These births come just 10 days after Eli and his wife Abby welcomed their daughter, Ava Frances Manning, into the world.
Peyton, by the way, was born March 24, 1976. This might actually be the bigger news (though it’s not really "news", of course). Think about that. Peyton Manning is 35 years old. Yet not a single football observer has suggested that the Colts quarterback is nearing his end. ESPN’s Ron Jaworski said this past season that Manning’s arm strength has declined a bit. Jaws was right, but he still caught flak from outraged fans. These days, Manning is the closest thing the NFL has to an immortal.
Since he’s 35, maybe the Colts or the NFL can coax Manning into taking a new headshot pic. The one he has now, as you can see, appears to have been taken some 10 years ago.
