Archie Manning...

Hugo couldn't help but was stunned. His memory of the name was always very vague. For a long time he could not even remember the name of Samora-until now he could not remember the name of Samora, but the name "Manning" The surname has a special meaning for Hugo. If Kurt Warner is the reason why Hugo likes football, then Peyton Manning is the reason why Hugo is crazy about football.

At this time, the memory in Hugo's mind was finally awakened. He remembered that Joseph's brother Paul had entered the football team of the University of Tennessee, and Peyton had become college football teammates. It just didn't expect that Peyton's father Archie would actually call him.

"Hello, this is Archie Manning, Mr. Lancaster." A calm and slightly hoarse voice came from the telephone receiver, humble and polite, but not nervous at all, and his calm and relaxed attitude made people feel comfortable. I think everything is just right.

"Mr. Manning, please call me Hugo." Hugo came back to his senses and said politely, which made Archie stunned. Hugo explained with a smile, "I am a football fan, although My favorite is not the New Orleans Saints, but I still know the name'Archie Manning'."

"Oh, this is really a lucky thing. It gave me a little bit of comfort for my abrupt behavior." Archie's tone became a little lighter, and from this slight change can I feel that Archie was still slightly tighter just now. Strained, "I know all this seems too incredible, but I'm thinking, I don't know if you can see my son. I mean, my second son, Payton."

Archie didn't go around in circles, he directly stated his request as soon as he came up. He didn't hide the fact that he was asking others, and he didn't evade the fact that he behaved abruptly. His frank attitude eased things a lot.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked back at Joseph and his face was filled with surprise. He couldn't think that the idol he admired the most would actually ask to meet him in this way-even if he had already seen him. After Kurt Warner, I still can't imagine the development of the matter.

Joseph shrugged innocently, expressing his ignorance.

"I'm listening." Hugo did not eagerly agree-otherwise it would seem too strange, but motioned for Archie to continue.

Archie breathed a sigh of relief, at least his abrupt behavior had a good start, "That’s how it is. Payton is in his junior year this year. He can choose to stay in his senior year and participate in another year. College league; he chose to enter the nfl draft and transfer to the professional arena. He has not yet been able to make a decision. He has many different ideas in his heart. I know he has always been mature, but after all he has not really experienced the cruelty of society, so I hope that some models can give him some advice, so that he has a clear idea to make a decision."

Payton is a very professional athlete. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is too sensible and too calm, planning his own life meticulously, being strict with himself, and even reaching the point of strictness, but this is for professional athletes. In other words, it is precisely the necessary condition for his athletic career to reach the peak.

Payton always knew what he was working on, so when he chose a university, he gave up the University of Mississippi, where his father had created countless glories, and chose the University of Tennessee. This decision almost made the Mannings become Mississippi crazy. . But the development trajectory of his later career proved that he made the right choice.

Therefore, today Hugo suddenly heard Archie say that Payton was at a loss and hesitated when facing the future, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

But aside from this, Hugo’s first reaction was, "But...Why me?" Hugo chuckled lightly, "Excuse me for being straightforward, but I can’t see that there is something between me and Payton. What direct contact. To be precise, I don’t have much contact with rugby, except that I am a fan."

"Mr. Lancaster... I'm sorry, Hugo," Archie relaxed a little at this time, because things were proceeding according to the established track. "In fact, I arranged for many professional players to meet with Payton. I hope they can meet Payton seriously talk about it.” This is the right choice and a reasonable choice. “But life has never been that simple. The life of professional athletes is too narrow, and what they can see is too limited. I think Payton needs Some other comments."

"Before I called you, I thought about it a lot. In fact, Payton doesn't have much amateur life. He doesn't have much interest in movies or music. Apart from training, his life can even be said to be boring. "Archie smiled self-deprecatingly. "But when he mobilized before the game, he always liked to listen to the glory to death song. He said it could calm him down and at the same time make him excited. He lost to Florida last fall. After college, the whole person was sluggish for a while, but in the end it was the song "Voyage ( that made him cheer up again."

Hugo’s mood at this time is indescribable, although he has long realized that he is now living in the glorious nineties in his memory, and is creating his own history step by step; but he really feels that he is using himself The way to integrate into American culture, even inspires a generation, that kind of proud satisfaction fills the chest, and the inner impassionedness is difficult to find an accurate word to express.

"You know, your experience is a legend for many people, especially for professional players. Your music has an indescribable charm. Not long ago, Payton told me that this year's Super Bowl should be You are on the midfield stage." After Archie finished speaking, he laughed, because it is not easy for Payton to bring up these "entertainment circles".

This year's Super Bowl was played on January 26 at the home court of the Louisiana Saints. The Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots, and the midfield performance was played by the Bruce Brothers (the.blues.) and Red. Beard Orchestra (zz.), James Brown (james.), Catherine Claire (.) jointly dedicated.

"However, as you said, you are too far away for Mississippi. I just think about it. But unexpectedly, Paul said that his brother is your manager, so..." Archie nervously Take a deep breath, "That's why I called you so abruptly, hoping to talk to you."

Hugo thinks this is really amazing. Although he knows that Hollywood is a place where miracles are created, life always surprises him in different ways. For example, today's call. "Mr. Manning...you know, it's my honour to receive this call..." Hugo opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what he was thinking. He just thought it was too crazy. "But, the day after tomorrow. I'm leaving Los Angeles, I..."

Time really does not allow.

"I know, I know." Archie said repeatedly, "Paul told me about your situation, so I chose to call you today. If you want, I can take Payton to Los Angeles tomorrow. , Maybe it can take up an hour of your time to meet once. I know this request is very rude, and you have important things to do tomorrow, but...I thought, I always have to try and see, right?"

The deadline for the nfl draft registration for the new season is March 5th, and there is not much time left for Payton to make a decision.

For Payton’s career, Archie took great pains. Later Hugo learned that Archie arranged for Payton to meet with many professional players. The star-studded list included NBA superstar Michael Jordan and Hall of Fame quarterback Viking. Famous name Fran Tarkenton (fran.), Cowboys active quarterback Troy Aikman (.), Patriots active quarterback Drew Bledsoe (drew.), Cowboys legendary quarterback Hall of Fame player "Captain America" ​​Roger-Stolbach (.) and Hall of Fame coach Hank-Stram (hank.stram) and so on.

In the end, he chose to call Hugo, and Archie was also well thought out. Obviously, Archie puts Hugo on the same level as those professional players, and even thinks that Hugo can become Hugo's life mentor. This undoubtedly requires courage-after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, artists are still far from the image of "mentor", and they also require courage.

"To be honest, I don’t know what I can tell Payton, I don’t know what I should talk to him, but as a rugby fan, being able to participate in the sports career of a professional player is absolutely for me. It's an honor." After Hugo finished speaking, UU read with a self-deprecating smile on his lips. He didn't know whether he was qualified for the task of "mentor of life". "But if you don't mind, I think one hour is no problem."

Archie thought that Hugo had refused, and had to try to persuade him again, "I know, you must often receive such rude requests. This is indeed my recklessness, but I still hope you seriously think about it. This is for Payton. It’s very important."

Hugo couldn't help but laughed, "Mr. Manning, I just said that there is no problem with the meeting tomorrow."

"But..." Archie wanted to argue a few more words, but then he realized that Hugo gave an affirmative answer, which made him choke, "Oh, God! Thank you, thank you very much, I hope not It will interrupt your work tomorrow, but...thank you, thank you!"

Hugo can clearly feel Archie's excitement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also outlines, "You can discuss the specific time with Joe, I think he will make arrangements. Then, I look forward to the meeting tomorrow. If my father knew, he would be very excited."

From Sally to the young volcano, from Michael Jackson to Peyton Manning, Hugo's pursuit of dreams is quietly changing many different lives.
