Manning knows what it’s like to be good on a bad team
Peyton Manning’s father,
Archie, never had a
winning season in a 14
year NFL career
By Mary Foster
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — There have
been quarterbacks with strong
arms and stout hearts, quarter
backs with big college careers, na
tional championships and Heis
man Trophies. 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.
