This website was never intended to be all politics all the time .  Politics, sports and entertainment have been my life.  It’s just been such a political time making it the main thing. Or as we used to say in the Army….”The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.”  And, I’ll touch on the main thing post these comments.

Hard to believe, but having lived in Indianapolis many years, it is honest to say I have watched Peyton Manning’s every game including him with Denver.  What I watched him do today may have been his most remarkable accomplishment.  Not having played in six weeks due to assorted injuries and relegated to the back up quarterback role, many thought he would never play again.  And yet, with Denver playing a key game to the playoffs, the Bronco’s playing horribly with five turnovers, Bronco’s Coach Kubiak called Peyton off the bench to begin the 2nd half and what followed was truly remarkable.  The crowd roared for him as his familiar trot took him onto the field.  Within minutes he sparked the team eighty yards for a touchdown.  His remarkable career (the only five time MVP) of experience and guile led the Bronco’s to a huge win for his team where they will have two weeks to rest his banged up body.  Peyton will always be an Indianapolis Colt having spent fourteen years there, where I witnessed not only a man who revolutionized the Quarterback position, but was such a gentleman at all times.  He paid for a new wing at a major hospital.

Several times in restaurants I would see Peyton with his father and older brother Cooper dine at the cities most famous restaurant.  Never one to hide from the public in Indy, he would sit in the front area, instead of the back dining area’s where the likes of Al Michaels, John Madden and Chris Collingsworth always tread, and enjoy himself while fans would stop by and say hello, him sign an autograph and actually enjoy himself talking with fans.  Hoosier’s are known for hospitality and proper decorum.   Peyton was always Peyton.  He’d need constant body guards in Chicago or New York.

And so as I watched him come on the field this afternoon I asked myself could he do it one more time?  Turning forty this late March, his foot just out of a cast, how much could he have left?   He had plenty left and true grit as the movie told us, he was in command immediately. He was the catalyst that sparked the team.  So now, will he face Tom Brady one more time?   Can he win his second Super Bowl?   Can he stay healthy long enough to make it to season end?  Who knows?  But, if anybody can pull it off, it should be Peyton Manning.

Mean while back to politics.  It is still doubtful Donald Trump will get the nomination.  He’s well behind in Iowa coming in a month and nine days later is the all important New Hampshire primary.  Christie has surged there….Rubio and Kasich hanging tough.   How will “The Donald” handle a loss?    He and Ted Cruz are the main two that polls indicate would lose big time to Hillary.    However, politics can change on a dime.  One major terrorist attack….or the pending indictment by the FBI of Hillary Clinton could shuffle it all.  Reports today indicate there is more than enough law breaking by Hillary through releasing top secret documents on her personal server to easily put her up on charges.   But, odds are overwhelmingly, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, with Obama’s firm backing, will fine a way, wiggle room somewhere, not to charge Hillary.  But, huge damage will be done.  Add to that the considerable contingency of cross over Democrat’s and Independent’s backing Trump, there just might be…might be….enough to push Trump to victory.  The planet’s would have to spin just right.   And, that, as far as I’m concerned, is just not going to happen.

Remember, January 24th the next GOP debate on Fox Business channel. The group likely will be down to just five or six on stage.  Might be a deal breaker for some.   Stay tuned to jacksjargon.com  for the latest developments.    Eleven months and counting.
