not gonna lie, I just realized I have an elaborate fantasy where I’m the long-lost cousin of Peyton Manning—who totally remembers me, by the way. it started when I was stuck on the bus next to this guy wearing a jersey with a different Manning on it. and there I was—crafting a dramatic backstory, complete with family feuds over dinner table football bets and bonding over dad jokes that nobody else...
