In the Name of the Father: Family, Football, and the Manning Dynasty Audiobook (Free)

No family in the history of American sports activities has ascended towards the storybook level of greatness and royal succession that can compare with the Mannings. Even though façade has occasionally cracked-murmurs of locker-room scandal, flashes of fraternal jealousy-this talented trio of quarterbacks can be enshrined in American lifestyle, epitomizing once-proud but dying nostrums of Southern Christian manhood. With impressive nuance, ‘exceptional biographer’ (Dallas Morning News) Mark Ribowsky traces their origins from red-clay Mississippi. From patriarch Archie’s heyday at Ole Miss, with its challenging history, towards the rise of his Super Bowl champ sons Peyton and Eli, a organic brand-new cultural reality emerges. Drawing on a large number of brand-new interviews, Ribowsky shows that the road to soccer immortality has not always been even, nor totally glorious. The result is normally a distinctly American saga of the flawed lineage that permanently changed the overall game.
