David,
great quote but just one minor technicality: Peyton Manning IS NOT from Mississippi, didn’t grow up in Mississippi, and didn’t go to school in Mississippi. He’s a cool guy, and a fantastic athlete. He had an opportunity to attend Ole Miss – but decided instead to choose one of our most-hated SEC rivals, and make their team into a champion.
So no, he’s not really a Mississippian. Any more than I’m from Georgia because my mom lived there for a while when she was a little girl, before I was born.
