Mandatory Manning - Honorable Mention

A tad bit late, the NFL season opener was last night. Here are some Peyton TV spots, in no particular order, that didn't make the cut.

NFL Kickoff '07: Humorous rivalry with Peyton and Reggie Bush advertising last year's season opener pitting the Colts against the Saints. Indy pummelled New Orleans 41-10 and embarrassing former Colt CB Jason David by burning him on 3 TD's.



NFL Network Colts/Falcons Thanksgiving '07 Promo: Manning's not really in this commercial, but quite a clever shot at his constant audible calling that'll make a defensive captain's eyes roll.



Gatorade Rain: Another commercial I couldn't seem to find. Manning comes out of a football as if the pigskin was giving birth - a little reminiscient of the facehugger eggs from the Alien films. Here's one with Kevin Garnett










NFL Sunday Ticket: Jeff Garlin of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' fame is dancing around and singing a la Charlie Bucket as if he found Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket. Although Peyton has such a minor role, Hall of Famers Dick Butkus and the media-elusive Barry Sanders make an appearance.
