Peyton Manning is New Orleans hometown hero.
New Orleans is the city where his father, Archie, played and still lives. Manning played at Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans, as did his brothers, Eli and Cooper.
If Manning can outduel Brees in what has been predicted to be one of the highest-scoring Super Bowls in history, many fans in New Orleans will certainly be celebrating their hometown hero’s accomplishment.
“New Orleans is a huge part of my life, as well as Eli’s life,” said Manning, who became the only four-time league MVP this season. “My dad’s been a part of the Saints organization for 39 years in some ways. We definitely have strong ties.”
Manning’s top receiver, Reggie Wayne, also grew up in New Orleans and Colts running back Joseph Addai was still playing for LSU when Hurricane Katrina devastated the area in 2005.
Even with all of these ties to New Orleans the Colts are coming out for blood.
