 This is a story about a fella by the name of Cooper Manning. At least that's the handle his loving brothers always forgot. This Manning, he called himself the Coop. Now, Coop, that's the name no one would self-apply where I'm from. But down there was a lot about the Coop that didn't make a lot of sense to me. Man, Reader, I brought you here today because you're an avid bowler. How'd you get into bowling? Coop, man, you know, like, after it's on Sundays in the south, you don't really get to do much after church. We'd always go to the bowling alley and nobody wants to be outside. I just thought it because you kind of resemble a bowling ball. Coop, man, you know I'm kind of around. You're right. I read where you pitched at Clemson. Yeah. What did you do in the bullpen? Did you ever eat a whole pizza? You got the bench sitting here. Right. You got guys that go in and out of the game. When they go in the game, I lay on the bench. So it stayed warm when they got back. Oh, you just... A true bench warm. Yeah, true bench warm. That was a real teammate. You want a little white Russian? No, we're on camera right now, Coop. We can't be having white Russians like that. Where are the cameras, dude? It's just style. It's just D-Lo. You played in college with the Sean Watson. You guys must really tie the room together. I mean, the team together. Coop, is that another big old basketball? Dude, the next one's already the 10th. That's more than enough. Way more than enough. That's just like your opinion, man. Yeah, true. The Texans have won six straight games. Uh-huh. Have you ever bowled six straight strikes, man? Coop, like, do you know who you're sitting across from? What about, uh, six straight strikeouts? No, what about you? Just the lady friends, dude. Six straight? It's not as rough. You know what's not rough, Reader? It's how good a time I've had. This is good stuff. That's just your opinion. The Coop abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowing he's out there. The Coop, making the rest of us look smarter. Well, that wraps her all up. Things seem to work out pretty good for the Coop and Reader. Pretty good story, don't you think? Made me laugh. Parts, anyway. Where's that voice coming from?
