Emily Frankel gets John Cullum to explain why he loves Eli and Peyton Manning.
Enjoying the topic, John gives Emily -- who rarely watches sports -- a quick education about other famous quarterbacks, and the recent super bowl scandal about the deflated footballs.
That was a good one! Root for the home team. That's right. They have a really good coach and quarterback with two Superbowl Rings that were hard won in a beautifully artistic and skillful manner. Joe Namath could throw the ball a hundred yards; pretty sure of that Emily? I thought I saw him do it once? I positively saw Walter Payton do it once; a rare talent, and he was a running back of small stature. Not many people are able to accomplish that particular feat. They call it (football) and the players that score the most points are generally the place-kickers. Why aren't they considered the stars more than the quarterbacks? Just Sane

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
