Brotherly Love Someday in the Super Bowl?

Posted Jan 26, 08 12:01 PM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – The NFL marketing department would love this scenario—Manning vs. Manning for the league title. Peyton won't rule it out as he praised the work ethic and noted the bright future of his younger brother, writes the New York Times. "I feel very strongly this will not be the last Super Bowl that he will play in," he said of Eli.

The elder Manning knows a little something about these things, as his film study and attention to detail are well-documented—not to mention that Super Bowl ring he won last season with the Indianapolis Colts. So what about a head-to-head Super Bowl with Eli? "Maybe next year we'll have to answer that question," said big brother.

    1958 Classic Still Rings True Pigskin was served up differently 50 years ago, and Atlantic scribe Marc Bowden learned just how differently by watching the 1958 New York Giants-Baltimore Colts classic with current Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid. “You can’t even do that today," Reid said of the Colts' first play. “You have to have some guys on the line of scrimmage.” The game was also quicker—with no pauses for commercial breaks—and plays were simpler.
