From the Jan. 27, 2011 edition of the
Indianapolis Star, I wrote: "Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has surpassed golfer Tiger
Woods and NBA star LeBron James as the most powerful person in sports
in a news organization's ranking.
Though Manning didn't make it to this year's Super Bowl, he led the
Colts there in two of the past four seasons, winning Super Bowl XLI and
maintaining an all-American image, Bloomberg Businessweek says in its
newest rankings out today."
Mark Patrick, host of a drive-time sports show on Indianapolis radio station WNDE-1260 AM, talked to me [
listen to the podcast here] about Manning being ranked the most powerful athlete in sports, and who he beat out to come in at No. 1.
