Texas Longhorns - English
Arch Manning, the highly anticipated quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns, recently showed that his skills extend far beyond the football field.
Manning, who is set to start as the Longhorns’ quarterback in the upcoming college football season, took an unexpected trip to St. Louis to support his teammate, wide receiver Ryan Wingo. This visit wasn’t about football drills or media attention but rather a glimpse into Manning’s ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
Wingo, who hails from St. Louis, was hosting his first-ever youth football skills camp at his former high school. Manning, along with fellow Texas teammates Colin Simmons, Aaron Butler, and DeAndre Moore Jr., flew in from Austin to help out.
This wasn’t just about football skills; it was a chance for the young players to meet their idols and learn firsthand from college athletes who have made it to the big leagues.
Though Manning is known for his prestigious football lineage-son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning-he was very much in a new environment.
Upon his arrival at the camp, Manning had an amusing interaction with a lady at the check-in table who didn’t recognize him. She asked for his last name, and Manning humorously responded, “uhhh… Manning.”
However, it was Manning’s subsequent visit to a local cookout on Greer Avenue that truly caught the attention of social media.
Ryan Wingo brought Manning and the other teammates back to his childhood neighborhood to experience a slice of his life outside of football. The event, captured in photos that circulated online, sparked a mix of amusement and admiration for Manning’s ability to fit into a completely different setting.
A fish out of water, but ‘good in any hood’
At the cookout, Manning stood out in two notable ways. First, his attire was completely out of sync with the St. Louis summer heat. While everyone else was dressed in lighter clothes, Manning wore a quarter-zip sweatshirt, which caught the attention of onlookers.
More striking, however, was the fact that Manning was the only white person at the cookout, an observation that quickly spread across the internet.
Social media users had a field day with the photo, making jokes about Manning’s seemingly out-of-place appearance. One Texas fan commented that Manning was “good in any hood,” a sentiment that Ryan Wingo confirmed.
Despite being an outsider in both appearance and attire, Manning effortlessly fit in. His willingness to embrace the moment and be part of the community spoke volumes about his character and adaptability.
In the midst of his college football journey, Manning’s visit to St. Louis reminded everyone that while he may be a rising star, he is also grounded and capable of connecting with people from all walks of life. Whether on the field or at a cookout in a completely new environment, Arch Manning proves he’s ready for anything.

Rogério Barolo dá conselho a Young após falha no São Paulo: “Não é gênio, faz o básico”
Barolo fala sobre Young, goleiro do São Paulo. (Foto: Reprodução / São Paulo FC)Neste sábado (16), o São Paulo não passou de um empate com o lanterna do Brasileirão, o Sport. Nessa partida, o goleiro Young Navarro, da base tricolor, fazendo sua primeira partida como profissional, falhou feio. Assim, o comentarista Rogério Barolo analisou o lance e mandou alguns recados para o jovem de 23 anos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEBarolo manda recado para YoungRogério Barolo, jornalista e torcedor icônico do São Paulo, comentou sobre a falha bizarra na estreia de Young Navarro. Assim, ele analisou o lance, e opinou que o goleiro teve uma tomada de decisão equivocada. Para ele, o melhor seria sair jogando com um toque para um dos zagueiros, e não forçar bola no Pablo Maia.“O que me irritou nesse lance foi o seguinte: ele tá sozinho. Os atacantes […]
NFL Preseason Week 2 Recap: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, Pittsburgh Steelers 14
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers flashed both young and old talent in a prevailing 17-14 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. Although Tampa Bay was limited to just 240 total yards and -0.251 EPA per play, it received major contributions across the board. Second-year running back Bucky Irving hauled in one of his two targets for a 15-yard touchdown; sophomore receiver Jalen McMillan secured his only target for an 18-yard, tumbling catch before exiting due to concussion protocol; and first-round rookie Emeka Egbuka snagged a five-yard score of his own, all in the first quarter. The Steelers rallied due to a Tez Johnson punt-return fumble in the third quarter, knotting the score at 14-14 thanks to Trey Sermon. The team's offensive line struggled with run blocking, but the team's running backs amassed 90 of their 132 yards after contact. […]
NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Baltimore Ravens 31, Dallas Cowboys 13
Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Cooper Rush looked Tez Walker's way early and often, and by the time the first quarter concluded, the second-year wideout was the recipient of six targets, which he turned into five catches and 46 yards. On the contrary, the entire Dallas Cowboys offense managed 31 yards in the first half. It was an ugly affair in general, with Rush throwing two picks, Joe Milton III stumbling through the contest and starters logging minimal snaps. But Walker was a constant in the first 30 minutes of game time. His final six-catch, 61-yard stat line was one of the few offensive highlights in the Ravens' 31-13 triumph over the Cowboys in preseason Week 2. Dallas cornerback Andrew Booth Jr.'s pick-six on Rush and the pass-rush acumen of Baltimore rookies Aeneas Peebles and Mike Green stood out on defense. […]
NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: New York Giants 31, New York Jets 12
There's no quarterback competition in Giants camp — Russell Wilson has a stranglehold on the starting job. But Jaxson Dart continues to play as if there's little separating him and the veteran Wilson in the pecking order. Perhaps that day will come sooner rather than later. Dart finished his night with another strong box score: 14-of-16 passing for 137 yards and a touchdown, as well as a rushing score. The eye test matched those numbers. The first-rounder played with the confidence of a veteran and the fearlessness of a rookie. He averaged less than 2.3 seconds to throw, whereas rookies tend to creep more toward 3. Thanks to Dart's output, the Giants poured it on against their New York counterparts and took a 31-12 win in preseason Week 2. Jets quarterback Justin Fields was less impressive, finishing 1-of-5 passing across […]
