The Manning Passing Academy has seen its fair share of distinguished campers, but Matthew Stafford made a lasting impression back in 2008 when he "threw the tightest spiral."Peyton shared that neither he nor Eli wanted to throw after the Los Angeles Rams star, with Eli joking, "I'm gonna throw after the guy from Dartmouth."
The Dartmouth QB deserved better.
Green Alert Take: That's what the late, great Dartmouth sports information director Kathy Slattery Phillips would have called an "ouch, babe" comment. If you don't take it personally, it's pretty funny.
So is this tongue-in-cheek response out of Hanover from Derek Kyler, who told me this summer how much he enjoyed his interaction with the Mannings at the MPA and spoke of the respect he has for them:
#
Former Dartmouth and Cincinnati Bengals great Reggie Williams is going to do a reading at William & Mary next week from his memoir, memoir, Resilient by Nature. From a Virginia Gazette story about Williams' appearance (LINK):
I asked Williams, what is the message he intends to convey to his audience at William & Mary.
“The message I intend to convey are inspirational stories of adversity survived and how love of poetry is an important part of the resilience repertoire.”

Those of you who have been following along know that we bought an all-electric Chevy Bolt this summer, in part to take advantage of the power we are generating with our solar tracker. As you may have read elsewhere, the manufacturer is going to be trading out the batteries on all Bolts because of a rare incidence of fires. That's disappointing. Here's what is not.
