May is now over halfway over, and there continues to be a variety of news surrounding the Tennessee Vols on a daily basis. Today is no different, with the most famous former Vol ever getting back into the news.

As we get set to bring you our updates on Rocky Top, a Peyton Manning story leads the way. But there is also news surrounding people currently affiliated with the Tennessee football program, so we discuss that as well.

On top of that, there is a preview of the final series of a regular season in one sport and the recap of the end of the season in another sport. So we have plenty to get to, but let’s start with Manning.
