Dear Peyton Manning . . .

The Quill Sisters were out having lunch today at their favorite chicken and waffle joint.  The food is delicious there and all three of us had the house special – chicken and waffles, just so you know.  We really do hope there’s a chicken and waffle place in Denver.  Anyway, while we were eating, Peyton Manning came on the TV.   There he was, all smiling and happy – quite a different scene from the tearful goodbye to the Colts a few weeks ago.  The Sisters aren’t really into men who cry but we’ll talk about that later.

Included in our salary would be advice about wearing conflicting stripes

The bottom of the screen said “96 million Dollars”.  Well, that certainly got our attention.  We don’t like football but we do like money.  Actually, we like hockey because that’s a real sport and the men don’t cry.  More on that later.

To catch you up, here’s the conversation:

Ava started to choke on her waffle – “96 mil for 5 years???  We can’t even get a freakin’ plastic fork where we work!!  Does he have a wife?”

“I have no idea,” added Amylynn, unhelpfully.  “We don’t like football.”  That’s true but still not helpful.

“We do now,” said the ever wise Kelli.

We kicked around what we could do for Peyton that would cause him to share his 96 million with us.  Yep – you got it but we had to reject that idea since we’re five to ten years older than him and not modelish.  We felt none of us had a shot at getting him to divorce his wife (if he has one) and marry one of us.  He also might not like the fact that we come as a set, lots of people don’t.

Since we’re writers we decided we could write his life story for him.  We’ll set it

We know some hockey players who would kick his ass for this

in the future and he can talk about what a great 96 million dollar life he had with the Broncos (I sense a horse theme here, Peyton.) and how he’s sorry, truly sorry, and embarrassed over crying about the Colts like a broken-hearted non-hockey player.  We’ll make him look like a superstar quarterback instead of someone who has to settle for the Broncos 96 mil . . . wait a minute . . . what the hell was all that crying about???  He’s crying over the opportunity to move on to 96 million??? To be the starting quarterback for the Broncos??

Just forget our offer, Peyton, but the least you can do is send us a box of forks.
