Eli Manning is on recordas saying his brother, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, has a bad delivery.
But that shouldn’t affect the outcome of Sunday’s Super Bowl—since he was referring to Peyton’s jokes.
Peyton told a joke at Tuesday’s media day that he credited to Eli. When asked if he was superstitious, Peyton quipped, “I’m a little stitious.” When he didn’t get much of a laugh, Peyton admitted it was a bad joke, and credited the joke to Eli.
“I got a lot of laughs when I told that joke a couple of years ago,” Eli Manning told ESPN Radio. “It must be in the delivery.”
Eli Manning also said that his two older brothers—Peyton and Cooper—donned brown paper bags over their heads with the insignia “Aints” written across it when they attended New Orleans Saints home games as teen-agers.
Olivia, as you may not know, “lives in New Orleans and celebrate Mardi Gras in true New Orleans-Style fashion. In her home, Mardi Gras is already an official holiday and the centerpiece of the party is the food. Their celebrations are always filled with close family, great friends and, of course, terrific New Orleans-Style cuisine.”
Zatarain’s is considered one of the top New Orleans style food companies, with a variety of pasta and rice dinner mixes as well as seasonings, spices and breadings. In conjunction with the “Motion for Mardi Gras” campaign, they will also make a donation to the Rebuild Fund of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The donation will provide funds for areas of New Orleans still recovering from Hurricane Katrina’s destruction. Read full story here
