Quick on the draw, Powell fired back, playfully reminding Manning, “I saved America and you’re nitpicking me about the long ball. Talk to me when you win a championship lathered in coconut oil…”

As for the “Chad Powers” series, fans can expect more updates in the coming months as the project develops.
