Peyton was a good quarterback, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved Indianapolis... and football. And as an athlete he dominated the playing fields of the NFL, from Jacksonville to Denver and... up to... Foxboro. He left, like so many great men at his position, he left before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many capable, accomplished quarterbacks from Baltimore, Green Bay, and San Francisco. These men fully dedicated their lives. And so would Peyton. Peyton, who loved football. And so, Peyton Williams Manning, in accordance with what we know your current wishes most definitely are, we release your convalescing body to the bosom of the free agent market, where you will fare so well. Good luck, sweet prince.
