I got to be honest, i’m not even a huge Peyton Manning fan. Yeah i’m in awe of what he was able to accomplish in his NFL career, but I was never actively rooting for him until this last Super Bowl. But this commercial? Are you fucking kidding me Gatorade? Way to make me weep like a school girl while i’m at work. There’s something about sports videos like this, that point to a legacy career or call out to something amazing, that really get me right in the feels. Bambi gets shot? Yeah, it’s sad, but put on “4 Days in October” and i’ll gush like a 16 year-old who got stood up on prom night.

Sincerely,

Matt
