Summary:

No family members in the history of American sports activities has ascended to the storybook degree of greatness and royal succession that can compare with the Mannings. However the façade has sometimes cracked-murmurs of locker-room scandal, flashes of fraternal jealousy-this talented trio of quarterbacks is enshrined in American culture, epitomizing once-proud but dying nostrums of Southern Christian manhood. With remarkable nuance, ‘exceptional biographer’ (Dallas Morning News) Tag Ribowsky traces their root base from red-clay Mississippi. From patriarch Archie’s heyday at Ole Miss, using its challenging history, to the rise of his Super Bowl champion sons Peyton and Eli, a organic new cultural reality emerges. Drawing on dozens of new interviews, Ribowsky demonstrates the road to soccer immortality hasn’t always been even, nor completely glorious. The result is usually a distinctly American saga of the flawed lineage that permanently changed the overall game.
