Wouldn't be surprised if he called my stepdad to get him out. Or to "make some calls"

I think Archie Manning was Southern Sidings spokesman years ago. I remember seeing him in there commercials
Maybe I'm wrong, but after leaving the NFL didn't he actually work for SS for awhile, as in sitting in an office and making calls?

We each had $1000 worth(he had 2 boys). Think I had less than 100, lol. Worked out well for me though. I didn't pay for it, lol

No he was just the pitchman on the infomercials - of which Southern Siding was one of the first.

Had one of his salesman ( a friends father - another plaid jacket, get rich quick guy) stop by a friends old house years ago while we were working on the outside of it. Put the hard sale out - friend told him get tough with it if he wanted to give a price - old man wheeled the house and told him this 1100 sf house would be $150,000.00 to put new siding but that included new gutters he threw in.

Dude paid $45,000.00 for the fixer upper and told the old man he'd think about it. Guy dropped it to $75,000.00 on the spot. I was chuckling since he was talking about 5k worth of sheet metal. Those fricking people need bullets.

I'd be fricking irate if I was behind the POS in line waiting to conclude that transaction.

Had to check to see if this was my ex-landlord who was a pill popping alcoholic contractor who stole my deposit.

No way, can't be. He's just really smart, and thats why he was able to accumulate the wealth he did.

You move a decimal around or something? Who in their right mind would agree to that
