OT: The other Manning kid

[IndianPat]

I had heard references to a third Manning brother. As for being the only (male) member of the family without national fame and recognitionm, he seems well grounded.

If the Colts win, 3 of the last 5 super bowls will have been won by Mannings and the other 2 by the Pittsburgh Steelers

I mean don't get me wrong, I'll always be thankful for our successes and I'm more than happy with the state of our franchise, still being competitive as we are... but the last 5 years have ended as badly as you possibly could have wanted. You would think at the least, we could have gotten a Bears upset in sb41 or the Cardinals not letting Big Ben drive 90 yards in 2 minutes last year

yup. you can only suck it up though. Looking at things this way makes me not want to watch football, so forget about it. It sucks, but theyd ealt with it while we were kings, now we have to.

Word was Cooper was actually the most physically talented Manning brother, but a medical condition ruined his career.

I had heard a lot of different rumors over the years about "the third Manning." First I heard he just wasn't interested in football, kinda like Gary Ewing on Dallas wasn't interested in the oil business. Then I heard he played but suffered some sort of career-ending injury in either high school or college. Finally the topic came up when I was talking with my friend the Eagles fan and he told me about the disease or condition the guy has.

He is going to disapear like chuck cunningham.

 

[holyredeemer]

I watched a little featurette of him on ESPN a few yrs ago and they did say he was the most athletically gifted of the mannings. If I remember correctly he developed a condition on his spine.

Hes got a name, Cletus Cooper Manning...

 

[Tyler.Durden]

We need a new waterboy, our old one is now the QB of the chiefs.

I give Cooper credit. He hasn't made a fool of himself on national TV licking cookies with his brothers.
The NFL Manning boys have no shame..........and no class!!
