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

Singer ROGER DALTREY and guitarist/songwriter PETE TOWNSHEND, The Who’s two remaining original members, are once again being hailed as rock standard bearers. Daltrey and Townshend debuted in 1964 with a trio of anthems — “I Can’t Explain,” “The Kids Are Alright” and “My Generation.” Since then they have delivered to the world hits such as “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Who Are You,” and “You Better You Bet.” Unprecedented demand for their sold-out trek across the globe, which began in 2007 and ended in the first half of 2009, reaffirmed their reputation as rock’s most influential and robust performing artists.

Cooper Manning is the eldest son – and the least known – in the famed football family, and you can’t help but wonder what might have been. He doesn’t have that problem. When you have to relearn to walk, “just being normal” is enough.
The Manning brother you don’t watch on television is prone to superstition, and quickly comes across as the gregarious one of the litter — as affable as Peyton or Eli, but with better quotes.
The Manning brother you will never see play in a Super Bowl has a wife and three kids and part ownership of an energy firm that deals with oil and gas stocks. Which means you can be named Manning, enjoy a pretty successful life, and not have linebackers trying to twist around your helmet so you’re looking out the ear hole every Sunday.
