While Peyton Manning is sitting on his couch this Sunday, his little brother Eli with his New York (football) Giants will be battling the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.

Let’s be real – Peyton won’t actually be sitting on his couch, but he will rather be cheering for his kid brother to win a second Lombardi Trophy against fellow elite quarterback Thomas Edward Patrick “Tom” Brady, Jr.
