Mandatory Manning: #10 - #7

Here's the next batch of commercial spots. Colts play their first game at Lucas Oil tonight in a preseason game with the Buffalo Bills.

#10 Master Card - 'Opponents' -
This commercial is genious as Peyton cozies up to NFC defensive super stars Michael Strahan and Brian Urlacher. At the time the commercial was made, neither Strahan or Urlacher knew they would play in a Super Bowl with a Manning. Strahan got the better end of the deal.




#9 Sprint: Manning's Mind - If Manning had nightmares from too many concussions (which won't happen with his O-Line) and watching The Shining this may be what he dreams of. I like the fact that other players are featured in the commercial. Jason Taylor is charging down the hall, while Marvin Harrison is seen 'swimming with the fishes.' The voice of the Colts Bob Lamey is also featured in the commercial. The token horror child also whisper's 'Clark', Indy's tight end/slot receiver.




#8 Oreos DSRL - By this time the whole Manning family, minus Cooper, have become total endorsement pawns as this commercial shows how far they are willing to stoop. I wonder how much the clan's getting paid by Nabisco acting absolutely foolish, hopefully not in sandwich cookies.




#7 Master Card: 'Fan' Commercial 3 - This last of the Fan commercials is pushes Peyton's fanaticism, especially when he gets the apron. I'm sure those in food service wished they felt that appreciated.
