Department of "Just Missed" - washingtonismoney - 02-05-2012
Factoids I didn't know but don't surprise me:
Quote:Peyton chose Tennessee after visits to schools the likes of Stanford, future home of his probable replacement, Andrew Luck ("I don't seem to fit in out there," Peyton told Gendusa). Eli decided to follow his father, not his brother, and signed at Ole Miss.

I didn't know we were on Peyton's short list. That might have changed history pretty significantly. You have to think Bill Walsh sticks around to coach him... maybe there is no Willingham era.... Manning to (Brian) Manning might have been one of the most prolific tandems in history...who knows what else would have gone down....
