Peyton Manning is a tough act to follow, but Bob Glauber did just that on Sunday, and gave the newly inducted Hall of Fame quarterback a gentle ribbing in the process.
"Career achievement award?" Newsday’s NFL columnist said upon being presented with the Pro Football Writers of America’s Bill Nunn Jr. Award during the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2021 induction ceremony. "How about having Peyton Manning as your warmup act in Canton, Ohio? Good job out of you, Peyton. By the way, they gave me 10 minutes."
That was a joke. Manning had good-naturedly complained about a new six-minute limit on Hall of Fame speeches this year, before speaking for about nine.
