You do not have to call Peyton Manning darlin, darlin

By MJD

Whether it's in a Sprint commercial, on Saturday Night Live, on the football field or in a place called Sloppy Joe's in Key West, Peyton Manning is a performer.

Just watch him hold the "u" in "pick-uuuuuuuuuup truck." That is the grit and determination of a true competitor. Jim Sorgi would've done that without a scrunched-up, harshly dorky look on his face. And that's why he's Jim Sorgi and Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning.

Gracias, Fanhouse, via TMZ.

    Even onstage in a Key West bar, he still looks like he's selling something.

    What wrong with his head ? I mean it looks like his face was hit with a flat shovel and his forehead looks like the alien on American Guy.
    I have to say I am really tired of Manning in commercials ,dont get me wrong I think hes funny,but over exposure is a killer.
    Mannings ok but I dont think he ROCKS !

    Good song done by a great quarterback! Rex Grossman couldn't have done it better but we'll see both in the hall-of-fame eventually.

    Chargers fan that wanted Peyton to fail since he started. I have grown to really like this guy, his commercials, attitude, he is the most likeable guy in the NFL hands down.

    Lets see you guys are debating Manning and Brady?
    Brady has Gisele and four SB rings. Manning has Ashley and one SB ring.
    It's close...

    I've been to Sloppy Joe's. Only a bad ass like Peyton would venture up there and sing. He probably bought shots for everybody in the bar, too. Hats off to you Peyton, you are the bomb. PLEASE get us another SB ring!
