| National Football League quarterback Peyton Manning, a member of the of the infamous (in San Diego) Manning clan, ironically endorses a "football" in a San Diego Union Tribune Big 5 ad insert.
San Diego Charger fans recall being spurned by Eli Manning at the NFL draft back in the April 2004. Older brother Peyton Manning was booed loudly as he trotted onto the field during pregame introductions in San Diego for the a summer 2004 preseason game against Indianapolis. In 2005 the Chargers beat both of the Manning brothers. On September 25, the Chargers defeated Eli Manning and the Giants 45 to 23 and on December 18, the Chargers crushed Peyton Manning and the Colts hopes for a perfect season at Indianapolis, 26 to 17. Go Bolts! December 2006 update: The three players acquired in the Eli Manning trade in April 2004 all made the Pro Bowl – linebacker Shawne Merriman (for the second time), kicker Nate Kaeding and first-year starting quarterback Philip Rivers. No hulas for Eli! November 2007 update: It's kharma Colt's fans as your team loses again to the Bolts - 23 to 21 - on a November 11 Sunday night game in front of a national audience. January 2008 update: It's the playoffs and Charger Power rules yet again in a 28-24 victory over the over-rated Colts. The Chargers - with backups substituting for injured starters LaDainian Tomlinson and Philip Rivers - defeat Indianapolis for the third straight time to move on to the AFC championship game! November 2009 update: It's a 21-20 win over Eli Manning and the New York Giants as Shawne Merriman sacks Manning on final play of the game after Rivers brings Chargers back with last-minute touchdown pass with 21 seconds to play. |
