This offer is slightly better than the last one made to Peyton Manning if he joined the Tennessee Titans. Nissan, who has their headquarters here in middle Tennessee, has offered to build Peyton a 2012 Nissan Titan Pro-4X truck. I'll take that over pancakes.
After the jump you can read the open letter Nissan wrote to Peyton.
Dear Peyton,We hope it’s okay to be informal and call you Peyton. You’ve been like one of the family to sports fans, especially Tennesseans, since your record-setting college days at the University of Tennessee.
Like you, we at Nissan North America were not all born to Rocky Top. But it is now home to our corporate headquarters and three manufacturing facilities employing more than 6,000 Tennesseans.
At Nissan, we too have fans all over the U.S.A. and we appreciate them all. And like all of your fans, we’re awaiting your decision on where to play next season. While we are in no position to sign you to any particular NFL franchise, we at Nissan North America want to make you a Titan – a 2012 Nissan Titan – as a gesture of gratitude recognizing your great accomplishments and philanthropic contributions to our national community.
We extend this offer on behalf of a nation of football fans and Nissan fans, not necessarily to influence your decision. So next time you’re in Nashville, give us a call and we’ll bring the keys.
Sincerely,
Nissan North America
