Peyton's Super Bowl Plans

Normally, I like to limit postings on It's A Magical World to original material. However, this article from The Onion was too funny to pass up. Plus, it gives me another opportunity to post a Peyton Manning sulky face picture. (Extra points if you can tell me during which game this picture was taken. Click on "Comments" for the answer.)

Peyton Manning Looking Forward To Ninth Annual Super-Bowl-Watching Party
January 18, 2007 | Issue 43•03

INDIANAPOLIS, IN—Colts quarterback Peyton Manning said Monday he is looking forward to wrapping up his football season and relaxing with friends and family while watching the Super Bowl, a tradition that goes back nine years in Manning's house and far longer in his extended family. "I believe in working hard each and every Sunday, but when the Super Bowl rolls around, that's my day to relax," Manning told reporters during a break from preparing for the upcoming AFC championship matchup against the Patriots. "As far as I myself am concerned, it's never gotten any better than spending Super Bowl Sunday watching the big game on TV surrounded by family and friends, like I have ever since I can remember." Manning said that the experience of watching the game was his main source of enjoyment, but if he was forced to choose, he would probably be rooting for Tom Brady to "win another one."

The picture was taken in the 2004-05 Divisional Playoff game where the Patriots defeated Manning and the Colts (again) by a 20-3 score.
