If they haven't already, It is my contention that the Mannings will at some point surpass the Kennedys as the most beloved American family of all time. Last year's Super Bowl between the Saints, Archie's former team, and Peyton's Colts as well as tonight's Colts vs Giants match-up (promoted as the Manning bowl) on Sunday Night Football has given sports news outlets an opportunity to highlight the all-American family's three football stars and two Super Bowl MVP's. In addition to pre-game interviews with the endearing Manning parents and home videos of the boys playing together in the front yard, there are a variety of commercials portraying Peyton and Eli as typical brothers who both support each other and compete with each other- and sometimes lock each other in a closet. Their ability to present themselves as humble and even "run of the mill" adds to the charm. I personally love watching both of the Manning brothers on the field and in commercials and I hope that future generations of Mannings are just as talented and charismatic.
