The quote that caught my eye:
Poor Peyton Manning, Brady's foil with the Colts. Now that is "one of the guys." He's quiet. He's married. He seems like he lives a simple life. He may even mow his own lawn. He even sometimes screws up at work and can't explain why.
He keeps making these commercials where he is the average suburban guy – Peyton goes to the grocery store ("cut that meat"), Peyton buys a cell phone, Peyton talks to the paper boy.
And yet, he isn't half as beloved because while Manning is trying to be an everyman, every man is trying to be Brady.
