I am fascinated by Cooper Manning.

If you don't know, Cooper Manning is the other Manning brother. The one that didn't become a superbowl MVP quarterback. He say's he has no bitterness, but I can't see how. If its true, he is a better man than me. I really don't think I could take it if my two brothers were big time NFL players, and I wasn't. Maybe its just me, but I couldn't handle it.

You think his brothers hook him up? Here's a Ferrari, or here's a house. Have fun?

What does he get Peyton and Eli for Xmas? A sweater from Walmart? What about wives? How can you sit at thanksgiving dinner and look at the incredible women Eli and peyton can eat turkey with? And don't tell me Coopers wife doesn't look at him and think "what could have been"?

I couldn't do it.

This might very well be a stupid thread, and I apologize in advance for that. It was just something on my mind, and since my wife won't talk to me since she started reading those "Twilight" books. I figured I'd post it and get it off my chest.

It would make for an interesting dynamic when they all get together for holidays or whatever. He's probably really good at something that his brothers suck at.

 

[poke]

i believe i have read that he was considered the best athlete but health
problems stopped his career

Yeah, it's a funny thread, but at least it's entertaining.

I would have no problems personally. Envy is a one very gross thing in my eyes. But I can sure see why it would be an issue. Kind of like Fred Claus...lol.

Seriously, everything I've read about that family points to them being pretty cool with each other. They seem to have their heads screwed on okay...except for issues with the San Diego ownership!

By the way, I bet Cooper has no problem getting hotties if he's not already married.

Cooper have 2 beautiful children that Peyton and Eli don't have

So he has complete family

Now that I have kids, I started late, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

I wonder if he's had offers for commericals? I mean, you could really make some funny commercials with him. "Hi, I'm the other Manning"......etc etc.

Or maybe one of those ESPN spots where he's hounding the anchors to do a story on him. I dunno, I just think there's alot of funny things you could do with him.

He's a son of Archie Manning. He and his family aren't hurting for anything. He may not have the mega bucks like his brother but I doubt he's broke.

I watched a special about the Manning's a few months ago. They are very close knit family with a ton of respect for one another, so I'm sure they have shared some earnings with Cooper if and when he needs it.

I wish I was that close with my brothers.

And by the way, his wife is HOT. Google Cooper Manning's Wife sometime.

I love that commercial.

Especially the part where Archie turns and gives them the look that only a dad can give his kids when they're acting up.

 

[Rack]

And don't tell me Coopers wife doesn't look at him and think "what could have been"?

And at the same time Cooper is looking at the women Eli and Peyton are with and thinking "What could have been".

HaHa...but I don't think so.

True story about Cooper Manning.
On the eve of a very important SEC Tennessee game,Cooper went to a Knoxville bar to have a drink.
Many people in the bar saw him drinking a beer and asked him"Hey Peyton,don't you have a big game tomorrow?"
Cooper decided to play along fully aware that the crowd at the bar thought he was Peyton and replied,"Yeah,I do...it's only Mississippi..."
