Hey, did you know Peyton Manning was once the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts? Pray tell! While Manning’s first game against his former team was heralded as an “emotional” return because of all those years he worked to bring the Colts as many Super Bowl Championships that Tavaris Jackson has, this Sunday Night match-up will feel a little bit different. Mostly because the man (Jim Irsay) who created such a sentimental treatment in the last match-up is on a short Roger Goodell imposed time-out. (Since it’s not like he beat up a woman or something like that.) And Wes Welker, arguably not one of this best receivers, is hanging out with some woman named Molly.
By The Numbers
9 – Years left before Peyton Manning controls the food supply in Denver with Papa John’s.
28 – The amount of points Andrew Luck and the Colts overcame to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in last season’s play-offs. Just thought all non-KC fans needed to know that one.
1 – The amount of Buicks Peyton Manning owns or needs, because of that forehead space.
Drinking Game
Note: I’ll be doing Dogfish Head’s Namaste for the beer portion, and Jameson for the shots portion.
Take one sip of beer if…
Peyton Manning does Manningface. (Take baby sips.)
Cris Collinsworth says something about a lineman that makes you think he wants to go down on him.
During every shameless plug for NBC’s sh*tty shows.
Whenever anyone mentions Peyton Manning when he played for the Colts.
Take one shot of liquor if…
Bob Costas does or says something smarmy. Or just looks it.
You see John Elway neighing in the booth.
You confuse Andrew Luck’s mouthpiece for a big orange peel.
Totally Legitmate Game Prediction
Colts – 500,000 (in the form of a Jim Irsay check.)
Broncos – 18 strong-browed Manningfaces and 11 Papa John’s pizzas.
