DIALOGUE...
I love writing dialogue... I truly feel that a great deal of information and emotion can be shared in dialogue... given that tid bit of information, what did we learn during the Manning / Ersay dialogue this afternoon?
Side knowledge. I am a true Colt's fan. Yes, I have loved Payton Manning. Now, he is going away. What can we learn from the press conference?
Even great sports legends can have emotions! Both Payton (#18)and Ersay had difficulty articulating their feelings. That is understandable.
The part I find difficult to understand, is Brian Williams, referring to the Colts as Baltimore Colts??? Excuse me, Brian you are 57 years old! The INDIANAPOLIS Colts came to Indy in 1984, when you were 25 years old! Explain how you could possibly refer to them as the Baltimore Colts??? Do you simultaneously say, VHS when referring to a DVD? or perhaps BETA? Okay, maybe you tell your assistant to copy the file to a "floppy" when you actually mean you want at file on your external hard drive? or on a flash drive?
I find the reference to the "Baltimore Colts" ridiculous!
New Flash! Payton Manning NEVER PLAYED for the Baltimore Colts! He did however play for the INDIANAPOLIS Colts... and those of us in Indy, and surrounding areas, love and loved him! Please DO NOT diminish his memories by bringing in some ridiculous episode, that occurred when Payton was only 8 years old!
I truly wish he could retire a Colt. I will love and admire him forever.
But, when Tim McGraw sings about football next fall, I will root for the Indianapolis Colts. If Payton Manning is wearing another jersey, I wish him success and happiness. He will however, never share the place in my heart with Reggie Miller... just saying! "I love you Reggie! I love you Payton!" Aleatha smiles and turns her head. Only those close, know her true thoughts... yes, Jeff is her true love!
