Which Peyton Manning do you think will show up at the Meadowlands this evening? I like the one who pitches to Derek Jeter in that Gatorade commercial although I have friends who think the Peyton wearing the black wig and the porn guy mustache in the Sprint commercial makes you want to run out and buy a phone.
I don’t believe his brother Eli appears in any commercials, so on that basis I’m inclined towards the Colts over The Giants. Notwithstanding the historical fact that this is the first NFL game to feature opposing brothers at quarterback. The Colts jumped off to a 13-0 record last season then coach Tony Dungy’s son committed suicide and things fell apart. If there’s no more rash terminations in the Dungy family this season, and Adam Vinatieri can add some clutch field goals, the Colts might go all the way and then Peyton can be in even more commercials.
Meanwhile The Philadelphia Eagles minus TO open up the year against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium. The Eagles were 6-10 last season but are all excited over the fact that they signed receiver Donte’ Stallworth who, word is, can cause just as much drama as TO in the locker room- one of the reasons the Saints were eager to get rid of him. And reliable running back Brian Westbrook didn’t play at all in the pre-season due to a foot injury. However the Texans truly suck so you figure the Birds to take this one. But not by much although Reggie Bush is already doing commercials and funnier than the ones Donovan McNabb does.
At age 36, Brett Favre plays like he’s 46. Last year he threw more interceptions [29] than he did for touchdowns but I’m sure all the cheese heads are really thrilled to see him back. On the bright side of things Brett has a 21-7 lifetime record against the Chicago Bears except in their two meetings last year, the Bears won both games. And I really wish I knew that before I picked them for today’s game because you know how the percentages work.
Coach Herman Edwards went 39-41 in five seasons with the Jets before taking over for Dick Vermeil at Kansas City. And Greg Kinnear sucked playing Vermeil in that Vince Papale movie. It’s the Bengals by a wide margin.
