I am a New York Giants fan … first and foremost.<\/p>\n

But while I appreciate Eli Manning’s development as a quarterback and person, I can’t say enough good things about his older brother, Peyton, the perhaps soon-to-be ex Indianapolis Colts signal-caller.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Peyton Manning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Peyton has such a GREAT attitude, it’s UNREAL. Who else could be comfortable enough in his own skin to play a referee in a Papa John’s pizza commercial and deadpan he’s doing it because “I need the work”.<\/p>\n

LOL.<\/p>\n

I know, I know … Peyton’s playoff record is just 9-10 and he has JUST one Super Bowl to Eli’s perhaps soon-to-be two.<\/p>\n

But while Eli matches Peyton in the humility and hard work departments, he may never touch him in the area of sense of humor.<\/p>\n

But that’s no knock, as the former SNL host Peyton KILLED in a couple of skits on that show too some years back. Not easy if you have seen that often dreadful show.<\/p>\n

Peyton’s situation with the Colts is touchy, after all, as he missed the season due to a neck injury and the Colts may dump him rather than pay a $28 million bonus.<\/p>\n

“Dump” Peyton Manning? Sounds ridiculous, but that’s a TON of money and Stanford standout Andrew Luck could be the team’s quarterback of the future.<\/p>\n

Don’t cry for Peyton Manning though. Laugh WITH him instead!<\/p>\n
