Payton & Eli Manning Rap For Sunday Ticket
Brothers Eli Manning and Peyton Manning are normally seen on the field when they play as National Football League quarterbacks for the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos, respectively. But in a new three-minute commercial for DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket “Football for your Phone“, the siblings are rappers rhyming their way through the streets of their hometown New Orleans.
Dressed in stereotypical rapper wear, with Eli going to the extreme of putting on a curly wig and a fake tan for the part, the duo showcase the funny side they already brought before to the “Saturday Night Live” stage. Making a cameo in the TV ad is their own father, former NFL quarterback Archie Manning, who also wears a wig. He sits on throne with his two sons standing on each side.
Archie steals the show from his boys as he chimes in to Eli’s rap, “It’s like I spilled milk all over your blouse on accident, or on purpose. It’s like the milk is football and your blouse is the phone. Uh huh. Yea.” This one sure does beat the many other previous commercials they have been cast together for.
Prior to this new hilarious TV spot, Eli and Peyton have put on moustaches and no-nonsense attitudes for DirecTV’s 2011 “Football Cops” commercial on top of all the cool “This is SportsCenter” commercials they have done in the past.
Eli and Peyton Manning Rap in “Football on your Phone”:
First Lady Michelle Obama to release rap album
First Lady Michelle Obama is already eyeing a new career once her White House days are over. FLOTUS may have a future as a rapper.
The Grio reports that the First Lady is distributing a hip-hop album complete with 10 music videos and 19 tracks to support her “Let’s Move!” nutrition program.
Obama is partnering with Hip-Hop Public Health and Partnership for a Healthier America to release then Songs for a Healthier America album on September 30th.
The first single off the album, “Everybody,” features the FLOTUS joined by singer Jordin Sparks, emcee Doug E. Fresh, and medical expert Dr. Oz.
The video shows children of all ages dancing lightheartedly between takes of kids doing jumping jacks push ups, and drills.
“Everybody tell somebody, it’s your body. C’Mon,” sings Sparks on the chorus. Doug E. Fresh and Dr. Oz trade short verses about exercise and heart health.
“The best way to do this is to build a bridge with the artists that they see on television and listen to,” said Dr. Oz. “When someone like Doug E. Fresh shows our youngsters that health can be fun and cool, we are winning the battle.”
Some other tracks on the album include “Veggie Luv”, “Hip Hop LEAN”, and “Get Up Sit Up” most of which will be hip-hop based, according to U.S. News and Wold Reports.
“This album is about more than just a great message and it’s about more than great music,” said PHA’s Chief Marketing Officer Drew Nannis. “It’s about making the healthy choice the easy choice… The simple act of getting up and dancing is a great way to get active and this album – and the dozens of generous musicians who helped make it possible – can help show us how. The added motivation of trying to do the Dougie better than Dr. Oz doesn’t hurt either.”
