Title: Let's Fight for the "Least of These." (2)
Series: Let's Fight
Author: Jordan Easley
Text: Matthew 25:33-46
When you hear the last name, Manning, you most likely think of... [say it with me...] Eli Manning. Eli may be the second most famous Manning, but he really is famous in his own right. He's a well-accomplished, 2-time Super Bowl winning quarterback that's been winning his entire life and will most likely be a first ballot Hall of Famer in a couple years.
This guy has been successful on and off the field, and because of that success, there's a good chance you recognize his face today, even if you're not a football fan.
Not too long ago, Eli Manning did his best to conceal his identity as he went incognito... for a bit on his TV show. In this episode, he went undercover at Penn State's football tryouts... as a walk-on quarterback that was trying to make the team. He had professional makeup artists help him create his new persona... an older college student named Chad Powers.
Now, if you haven't seen the video... this is what happened: Chad Powers showed up to practice and didn't look the part at all. He looked old and unathletic and nobody on the field expected him to do anything impressive at all... but then Chad Powers started throwing dimes... and doing things that only an elite quarterback could do... and everyone was then watching in amazement.
Well, eventually... Eli removed his mask... and his time of being incognito was over... in that moment of the big reveal, everyone finally realized... That was never Chad Powers... it was Eli Manning all along.
Recognizable people have been going undercover for decades. Does anyone remember Larry Johnson-back in the 90's? He dressed up like Grandmama... and was dunking on everybody. More recently, Kyrie Irving-did something similar. He dressed up like an old man that he called "Uncle Drew" and did the same. No one knew who he was... they just thought he was the greatest senior adult ...
