Peyton Manning has something more — an insid er’s knowledge of what a good quarterback faces when he joins a bad team. Growing up, Manning watched his father pounded on the field and hounded by the fans. He heard the criticism from the me dia and on talk shows. And he saw the class with which Archie Manning handled a 14-year NFL career without a winning season. "My father has always been my role model, both as a person and as a quarterback, ” said the younger Manning, expected to be the No. 1 or No. 2 pick in the NFL draft on Saturday. “If I could play as long as my father did in the NFL and also handle the things the way he handled them ... that would be a real achievement for me.” Manning wasn’t born until his father had been in the NFL for five years, but he absorbed what had become a family history and watched the highs and mostly lows in the latter part of Dad’s ca reer. Even more important, he soaked up his father’s work ethic, study habits and evenhanded out look. “Things didn’t really go his way during his career with the Saints," Manning said. “But he never brought it home. He took his time to do his interviews; al ways took time to sign autographs for the fans.” The elder Manning spent far less time teaching his son to throw a tight spiral than he spent instructing him on responsibility, hard work and staying humble. “I tossed the ball around with him as a kid, but just like any fa ther and son. I didn’t groom him to be a quarterback,” he said. "He was interested in playing, but on his own." And once his son went to col lege, Dad saw his job as someone to listen and help his son sort out problems, not offer advice on how to play football. “Peyton benefited greatly just from the way he was raised," Ten nessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe said. “He benefit ed first as a person from the good things he was taught, and second ly as a player. “Being Archie’s son, he learned a lot about how to handle the situ ations around football, the hoopla, the challenges, the good and bad that go with being a quar terback, and keep on a level emo tionally.” The 22-year-old Manning re members hanging out with Saints players as a kid, seeing the locker room camaraderie, watching practices and film sessions. Fa ther and son even sat in on quar terback meetings together. "He’s been around professional players all his life, around the pro game.” said Saints director of col lege scouting Bruce Lemmerman. “He knows what problems he’s facing and what he has to do. A lot of young players are over whelmed when they get to the pros; not Peyton.” While the Mannings’ pro ca reers may end up having very lit tle in common, their college ca reers were similar in many ways. Both were Heisman Trophy candidates; Peyton finished sec ond last year, Archie third in the 1970 race. Both became legends in the SEC, where Archie was named quarterback of the quarter century, and at their schools — Tennessee for Peyton, Mississip pi for Archie. In 1971, the “Year of the Quar terback,” Archie was one of the best, a lanky redhead with no idea that the winning would end when the New Orleans Saints made him their top choice, the second play er taken over all. (Jim Plunkett was first and Dan Pastorini was third). The elder Manning’s career with the Saints provided his son with more than enough lessons on what can happen to a good quarterback on a bad team. Now the younger Manning could face some of those same struggles in his first year as a pro, most likely with the Indianapolis Colts or San Diego Chargers. Some scouts think quarterback Ryan Leaf, also a possible No. 1 pick, is more athletic than Man ning; Leaf is slightly bigger, 6-5, 254 pounds vs. 6-5 1/4, 230 pounds. The younger Manning didn't get everything he wanted in col lege, never winning the national championship and not getting the Heisman. Still, he describes him self as satisfied with his four years at Tennessee. With the training he's received as the son of a quarterback who survived one of the league's worst teams with his psyche intact, he may be able to do the same thing in the pros. Wallace hot as season nears end Portland's Rasbeed Wallace is averaging 21.6points a game By Bob Baum The Associated Press PORTLAND — He found his son and lost his grandfather. He struggled with a new position and often wound up the fourth option on a team loaded with players who love to shoot. The season has been uneven for Rasheed Wallace. Lately, though, he’s put up numbers that befit the six-year, $80 million contract he signed before the season. Going into Tuesday night's game with Sacramento, Wallace had averaged 21.6 points and shot 61 percent from the field in the seven games since he took four games off for his grandfather’s fu neral. Wallace shrugs off his hot streak, saying it’s only because Arvydas Sabonis has been out with a sore hip. “I was just taking Sabonis shots,” he said. “It was probably six or seven shots a game.” It’s the kind of production fans expected all along out of Wallace, who was an immediate hit in Portland after the trade that brought him from Washington be fore the start of the 1996-97 sea son. He averaged 15 points and shot 56 per c e n t and was a leading contender for the NBA’s most improved player award. The Blazers made him the high est-paid player in team history. He is on the cover of the team’s media guide and is considered the anchor of the franchise. His recent big games have moved his scoring average up to 14.7 points a game, and he’s among the league leaders in field goal percentage at .533. Solid numbers, but not the spectacular ones predicted for him. Perhaps, as point guard Da mon Stoudamire said, there are other ways to measure Wallace’s value. “He’s probably one of the high est leapers in this league, and then his wing span is so long, he’s able to do a lot of things,” Stoudamire said. “He’s the type of player who is going to do what it takes to win, so shots some times are not as much of a con cern. I don’t think you can really judge if he has a good game or a bad game by how many points he scores." Coach Mike Dunleavy moved the 6-foot-l 1 former North Caroli na star to small forward to make room for free agent Brian Grant. The two seemed to have trouble getting used to playing together, then Grant got hurt, forcing Wal lace back inside. Lately, with Sabonis out, Wal lace and Grant have thrived. “Rasheed has the ability to be a big scorer," Dunleavy said. “A lot of it is at times he’s been a little passive and tried to move the bas ketball a little more, not really car ing about scoring.” Texas Tech imposes three-year probation By Mark Babineck The Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech today imposed a three year probation on its own ath letic: program and promised to forfeit games, reduce scholar ships and place other penalties on several of its sports teams. In releasing its 1,250-page formal response to 18 NCAA accusations of rules violations issued in October, the school announced major scholarship reductions in men’s basketball, baseball and football. Minor cuts will hit women’s basket ball and men’s golf and track. The school admitted Oct. 2 that 76 players competed ineli gibly in those sports because of academic certification mis takes or scholarship overages. Tech compliance director Bob Burton said today an expand ed internal audit has increased the total to 81. Additionally, Tech will for feit all games in which ineligi ble players participated and pledged to return about $100,000 earned by the men’s basketball team’s advance ment to tlie regional semifinals in the 1996 NCAA tourna ment. Burton declined to specu late how many other games Tech stands to forfeit, saying specific sports events will be discussed during the universi ty's hearing before the NCAA in Cleveland on April 24-25. The basketball team already had withdrawn from NCAA tournament consideration a year ago.
