"His rival for top QB in the league, Peyton Manning, has done every commercial short of adult diapers, but Brady has done almost zero, even though, with his looks and charm and game, he could sell pogo sticks to seniors.

"You realize you're turning down a lot of dough, yeah, but it's just not me. I'm just not going to go out and do a Chunky Soup ad.... Like that [MasterCard] ad Peyton did about, 'Cut that meat! Cut that meat!' -- our D-line yelled that every time he came up to the line. 'Cut that meat!' Man, I'm so glad I didn't do that one."

Integrity. Check."

integrity? that's a good one.

you do realize that at about the same time Brady was watching the birth of his child that Manning had a freaking children's hospital named after him?

Do they know about him exposing himself and "teabagging" a medical worker in college?

Do they have a statue of him with his nuts on some nurses face out there?

Did he really? Did he give them a bunch of money or something? I read something the other day about how his family was like the "First Family" of the New Orleans area. Which is funny considering that none of the Mannings went to LSU. I must have gotten the location wrong.

It's in Indianapolis

He did give a bunch of money - wouldn't disclose the amount though.

Agreed to help them with fund raising activities also along with the fact that his name recognition alone will apparently be worth a lot of philanthropy/research dollars.

Good stuff but it would have been better if he had them name it after his father as a sign of respect and humility.

Part of the deal is the hospital wants his name though for fund-raising/visibility.

Risky thing, though, naming something important after someone who's alive.

Probably some Jose Canseco Avenues out there that had to be renamed

Well it's nice to know that Manning isn't just all forehead after all. It looks like he also has a big heart.
