Lil Wayne is not exactly the guy you would think of in the same story as Eli and Peyton Manning.
Well, welcome to Super Bowl week.
The Louisiana rapper recently spoke with , sharing a story he once heard about the legendary work ethic of Peyton Manning -- and his little brother Eli.
“I have a story about Peyton. A guy who has been on the road with us, he was like an uncle to us, he told us this story. When he was in jail, about to come home, he was put on one of those work-release things in New Orleans. Every morning, real early, he would clean the schoolyard of the (Isidore) Newman School (where the Manning kids attended). Because he was a prisoner, he would have to clean the schoolyard at 4 or 5 in the morning. There was not one morning, 4:30, 5 in the morning, he wouldn’t see Archie, Peyton, Cooper, or Eli out on the field. He’d see Archie throwing passes to Cooper, or Peyton throwing routes to Cooper. I don’t know if people know this, but it was Cooper who was the prodigy. He [the roadie] would tell us the story, you know, like it was destined.”
Cooper, who many believed would play in the NFL as a wide receiver, had to quit the game when he was diagnosed with a spine condition.
Lil Wayne also offered his opinion on the player everyone is talking about leading up to the game -- Seattle Seahawks' cornerback Richard Sherman.
“To me, the Richard Sherman thing … I think he does it, I don’t want to say for attention, I don’t believe it’s for attention, but I believe there is a technique to what he is doing. It all of a sudden doesn’t seem so natural. It seems like it used to be Richard Sherman loves to trash talk, but now, it’s kind of a technique. Not natural. I’ve seen people go back at him, and when they tell him something back or he gets his face busted, there’s no more barking. That tells me, I’m really not like this, I’m really not aggressive. I think it’s Richard Sherman mouthing off … I know the media likes to say he’s backing it up with his play. Well, Richard Sherman comes from the same place I come from, the street, and he’s doing a lot of talking where he really can’t back it up. I think he’s a shutdown player. But a great player? No. Great? I don’t think he’s a great player. Now if he plays great against Peyton, that will be huge. If he performs tremendously, that will [change things].”
Saying Sherman isn't great? Lil Wayne might have just given the cornerback fuel for another rant.

Amaechi explained that their defection to the APC was not basically
because of the former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who recently
threw in the towel, but as a result of President Goodluck Jonathan’s
refusal to address issues of constitutionalism and accountability.
He stressed that the only way to address such issues was through Nigerians and not President Jonathan.
Amaechi, who is the chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum spoke on Thursday when Knights and Ladies of St. John International, Port Harcourt Grand Commandery paid him a solidarity visit in Government House.
He said, “The reason we broke away from PDP and joined the APC is not basically because of Bamanga Tukur. Bamanga Tukur is not the big issue. There were issues we raised before the President and he has not addressed them.
“He (President Jonathan) said oh! I have removed Bamanga Tukur, so, you people can come; come to do what? There are other issues; there are issues of constitutionalism.
“There are issues of accountability, we raised them before Mr. President and those issues have not been addressed and we think that the only way to address them is through you Nigerians. The President is not our problem; we are our own problem”.
Assuring his visitors that the APC would restore sanity to the country’s polity, the governor urged Nigerians to vote out the PDP in the 2015 general elections.
Amaechi explained that the APC would not be a religious party, even as he lampooned those attempting to fan the embers of religious crisis in the country ahead of the next elections.
He added that leadership transcended religion and ethnicity, saying, “Don’t let anybody confuse you, they have been going from church to church, telling you it is Christians versus Muslims. No! The money they are stealing does not have Christian or Muslim emblem.
“So, it is not Christ versus Mohammed. They are using that to hoodwink you to continue to siphon our resources. Their wives are building houses all over, hotels all over and we are watchi

Amaechi To Jonathan: Stop Pitching Christians Against Muslims
Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State on Thursday maintained that he, along with other G5 governors, who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, will not return to the Peoples Democratic Party.
He stressed that the only way to address such issues was through Nigerians and not President Jonathan.
Amaechi, who is the chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum spoke on Thursday when Knights and Ladies of St. John International, Port Harcourt Grand Commandery paid him a solidarity visit in Government House.
