Why does this continue to be a story? Yes, Eli, Peyton, and Archie are going to be rooting for their nephew/grandson to win all of his football games, regardless of whether or not he's playing against their former teams.

Who would have thunk it? Someone pulling for their family member. Crazy times...

Screw the Mannings. They live and have their camps in Louisiana and have never done a thing for the state of Louisiana or any of it's schools. They are not loyal to anything but themselves and money. BTW Archie sucked with the Saints. He never won a thing.

Think it would be safe to remove big from that statement.

This is why I've always appreciated William Sanders... Barry Sanders' dad.

He was an avid OU fan all his life. When asked who he was rooting for when Barry (at Oklahoma State) played OU...

He said... "I was rooting for OU long before Barry was born... I hope he Barry has a good game but I want OU to win."

Well, that's not true.

The PeyBack Foundation has endowed scholarships for Universities, issued millions of dollars in direct grants to youth-focused groups, after-school programs, and summer camps across Louisiana to support at-risk and disadvantaged children, ThriveKids Student Wellness Project (physical and behavioral Healthcare in public schools across LA), The family’s hospital network hosts an annual event that directly supplies thousands of New Orleans public school students with free school supplies, required sports physicals, and immunizations, and more

The whole family invested millions into restructuring a Pediatric Hospital and its Healthcare network.

They host the annual Louisiana Legacy Fundraiser, which is an annual event that directly raises millions of dollars—including over $3 million in its inaugural drive—to construct critical state infrastructure, such as a new 60-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Youth Development: 30 Years of Free Economic Impact & Youth Coaching: Archie Manning founded the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana. For three decades, the family has personally coached and mentored over 30,000 young athletes while driving significant sports tourism revenue into local high schools and universities

And loads more.

You can not like them. That is fine. But, to say they aren't engaged in supporting the state, New Orleans community, and its schools (minus LSU - they obviously hate them), hospitals, infrastructure and people is just incorrect

They do not support LSU, correct, everything else you said is false.

Sorry LSU can't steal from the NOLA Childrens Hospital a-hole!

Archie, Olivia, Cooper, Peyton and Eli partnered with the nonprofit hospital, formerly Children’s Hospital New Orleans. It received the Manning name in February 2025 following a transformational family gift.

Lot of the proceeds from the Manning passing academy goes to Special Olympics Louisiana

Olivia Chairs or co chairs half dozen fundraisers in and around NOLA.

More than $100,000 from Peyton’s PeyBack Foundation to roughly a dozen New Orleans-area nonprofits serving children in the months following Katrina

Is that the same one LSU stole all that money from?
