The Sheriff is in Dublin, Ohio this week for the Memorial Tournament. He got to play with one of the greats golfer of all-time too.

Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback in the history of the Colts franchise. He might even be the best player overall. Because of him, the Colts have Lucas Oil Stadium, a new convention center, and have hosted a Super Bowl. He did a lot for the city.

But now that Manning has been retired for some time, he has had time to do other things. One of those things is play more golf. He is a 3.4 index according to the USGA. That is some fantastic playing. He’s so good in fact, that he got to play with Tiger Woods today.

Manning played in the Pro-Am at the Memorial Tournament today and was paired alongside Woods, the reigning Masters champ. It was the main attraction at Muirfield Village as there were large galleries gathered around that particular group to watch the greats play.

Manning was asked about his potential interest in being the GM of the New York Jets, as it was reported they were targeting him. Apparently no one has contacted him about it. Manning said “No one contacted me about it, and I’m probably not qualified anyway”.

Next. Andrew Luck still out for OTA's. dark

That probably calms many Colts fans’ fears of seeing him run another organization. Manning probably wouldn’t want to be the GM of a team, but there is definitely a possibility of him owning one some day. Perhaps he could own the Colts one day.
