    This could really SUCK!

    After hearing Peyton Manning yell "Omaha" more than 40 times at the line of scrimmage during Sunday's victory over the San Diego Chargers, an official with Omaha Steaks says the company is considering offering the star quarterback an endorsement deal.


    Omaha Steaks is contemplating trying to work a deal with Manning on calling his audibles with their name. I really do not want to be hearing (all game long), "Omaha Steaks, Coke, Blue 32, Toyota, Red 98, Google, Google, hut hut... What's the game coming to? This would really do our sport NO good!!! I hope I got that all wrong.

    Thoughts?

        I'm wondering if there is a rule against echoing what he is saying on the line, or adding to it to confuse their linemen. Anyway from that article the NFL would have to make "Omaha Steaks" an official sponsor first. I know that Papa John is already their official pizza, so why not now?

          I bet the teams don't go for it. Then you would have sponsors deciding what the key words are for an entire offense or defense. But the words that are used are often selected to be a audible reminder of what is being done. The OMAHA thing varies a lot from week to week, but every team uses that call, although it's meaning varies from week to week and team to team. And the coaches are probably not going to want to let the players pick whatever they want anyway.

          One of the things I liked about Saban was that he lets his players help name some of the calls in their D. The coaches pick the base D names and calls, but then the players get all the stuff that gets put in once the season starts, with some prompting from the position coaches.

            I was joking with my buddy that they should throw in some sailor talk. It would be hilarious.

            He'll throw in some jokes and attack the defense when they are laughing.

            Wasn't there a team that played Denver that was yelling papa johns stuff at Peyton

              I think it will go too far when they start sponsoring feminine hygiene products.

                Fair is fair. Hardwick was advertising male hygiene products.

                    Speaking of "I could hear all the audibles Manning said" I wish San Diego fans would take note on Broncos Fans during the game or the Chargers would post a one page on the union tribune saying:

                    "Charger Fans Stay Quiet when the Offense is on the field, make noise when the Defense is on the field"

                    I could heard the security guard farting behind Manning's audibles.

                      No shit. I'm not sure I've ever heard a QBs calls so clearly in my life.

                        He can say "Omaha Steaks" or "Fuck my Forehead" or "Me so horny" or whatever he wants. I'm so goddamn sick of this guy and how the NFL is just an enabling vehicle for him. No one's even questioning his bogus passing record. It's like whatever he does is just bueno. The Onion should rewrite that article about Brees killing people and put Manning in it. Much more accurate.

                        Fuck Football Royalty(TM) because Archie sucked and never achieved shit. Sorry buddy, David Carr doesn't get pimped because he played behind a shit line. You don't get points for "could have been."
