Coopered up

Tip to Oehser, a story about Cooper Manning.

Peyton Manning, 33, was always “jumping on players” in the huddle and demanding perfection, Reginelli said. “Cooper comes in and he probably tells them a joke and relaxes them.”

It’s no different today when Cooper and Peyton talk on the phone. “We talk about everything under the sun,” Cooper Manning said. “Maybe just touch on the game a little bit, but mostly about something to keep his mind off of it and tell him something that’s funny.”

Cooper Manning said he last saw Brees on Jan. 9, when the Saints quarterback and his wife came to his house to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles in the opening round of the NFL playoffs.
