Denver Broncos starting quarterback Peyton Manning jokes with reporters after taking part in the morning session at the team’s NFL training camp in Englewood, Colo.
Eli ManningEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jay Z and 50 Cent had better watch out. The rap world has a couple of wigged-out new stars – E-Z and $17.5-Mil.
Haven’t heard of them? Well, they’re a little more well-known on the football field.
Quarterbacks and Super Bowl MVPs Eli and Peyton Manning burst onto the music scene this week with a three-minute rap videotape in which they promote “Football On Your Phone” for DirectTV.
The commercial starts out with the Mannings sitting in barber chairs, wearing wigs that mimicked hair styles of the ’60s and ’70s. Eli has a frizzy, curly-haired mop and Peyton wore a straight, long-hair wig worthy of any rocker.
“Peyton and I had fun doing the skit,” Eli said Wednesday before practice. “Obviously (we) got a lot of laughs together just every time we would kind of look at each other and wonder what we were doing.”
