1. For extra credit:

Why didn't the third son follow in the family business?

edit: And what effect did that have on the Manning dynasty?

4. Cooper?

My brother met him in NO on business. Spinal issue. Not enough that he can't have an active life, but enough that he shouldn't be playing football. I think they diagnosed him in HS, where he was, at the time, a stud QB.

5. DING DING DING!!

You got the name and the medical issue (spinal stenosis).

Why this is important: He was at Ole Miss, where they wanted to convert him to WR. Peyton's dreams of throwing TDs to his brother were dashed when the spinal issue surfaced. That is said to be why he chose UT over Ole Miss.

8. Ah, he was diagnosed after high school but before the season started

in college (during summer practice). I knew he never actually got to play in college.
