The HEE HAW Brothers are back—Peyton and Eli Manning. They’re airing yet another series of corn pone TV spots, selling everything from the NFL Sunday Ticket to pizza. 

Peyton obviously cannot stand being out of the limelight, so after retiring from the game of football here he comes again, blundering into your living room with more pure corn on your flickering tube—further evidence of the most shameless ego this side of Donald Trump.

How many millions did Manning make playing football and doing bad commercials over the years? Many. According to the Denver Business Journal, and the First and Orange website, Manning made $12 million on commercials alone in 2015. Money Nation estimates the erstwhile QB's net worth at $191 million. So why another series of TV spots? It wouldn't appear that he needs the money.

Ego.
