When social media began, it was the wild f*cking west. No one knew how to use it. “Trends” were only associated with clothing. Hashtags were still called “number signs.” But most importantly, parents had no idea what it was. We were free. I was in high school so I can’t speak for those in…
For anyone born in Indiana between 1990-2000, the glorious shadow of one Peyton Williams Manning was inescapable. Peyton, along with Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James, ruled this province with an iron, touchdown-machine fist. Few athletes have owned a city the way Peyton did.
