As someone who recently got married, I would not suggest you send wedding invitations to famous strangers.

While it's a funny story to tell friends, invitations are expensive, and they shouldn't be sent around the world all willy-nilly. Besides, you always can tell friends you invited Kanye to your wedding. Trust there won't be much in the way of fact checking on that one.

All that said, if you're OK with sending 10 bucks into the ether, take heed in the fact that a response is possible. Case in point: This RSVP posted Tuesday on Reddit, in which Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning regretfully declines a wedding invitation from Anna and James.

That's genuinely awesome, and living room frame-worthy. I take it all back. Send all your invitations to famous people.

Tomlin might get fined 100k for that stanky leg move.

 

[Hahahaha]

^ it's way too suspicious. He can claim innocent but he's watching the screen and doesn't see him coming towards him?

Oh ok

 

[yeezusdisciple]

Plus he smiles right after

 

[DeadsetAce]

$100K tho

Oh ok

is it that fishy ?

i dont know what camera angle they had on the big screen , but from the angle we got on TV his reaction appears realistic . he is only in the picture for about a sec before he reacts and jumps out of the way

There's another video showing him stepping closer to the sideline as Jacoby is crossing midfield. He knew what he was doing...

i hadnt seen that before . yeah , that angle definitely makes it seem like he did it intentionally

The Texans really don't like the Patriots.

McNair probably had them fired to prepare himself to fire Kubiak. Hope that make the inevitable easier now

Not sure if it was ESPN or NFL network, but they showed Jacoby's reaction (micd up I guess) later after the play...classic Jacoby

@CHawksExaminer: On @710ESPNSeattle, John Clayton says a yearlong suspension "is off the table" for Brandon Browner, but he is pushing for just a fine.

 

[moe200069]

brees' headshape is damn near identical to real life. but why does Richard Sherman look like busta rhymes?

 

[champcruthik]

Classy move by Peyton.

Nobody knows or talks about it, but Austin Howard had himself a game amidst the Geno disaster.

the superbowl is not in seattle so i dont think it makes a difference

They actually have the most road wins in the league since 2009. This narrative about both Seattle and NO is wrong.

Now, I don't know about their dome vs. outdoor record.

Ill put it like this. They may beat teams like the panthers and bucs when they suck on the road but what elite teams have they beat on the road.

Closest I could think of is a mnf win in Atlanta in 2010 against a fraudulent 1 seed falcon team that got smashed by the 6 seed that year or a Sunday night win in Dallas in 06 against a 9-7 cowboy team.

I just can't see Brees going into Lambeau against a good packers team, Seattle in January, New England etc and getting the win. He came close in New England this year though.

Baltimore, the 49ers, New England, Denver, seattle, green bay, indy when peyton was the qb, the giants, hell even the jets from a few years ago all at one point have had a key road win or wins against elite teams.

I can't say the same for the saints as of now.

If they don't get the 1 seed I just can't see them beating a team like Seattle on the road. Hell if Carolina wins the south I wouldn't see them going into Dallas Philly or Detroit as a for sure thing.

I'm curious as to how much of a role weather plays into this though. Peyton's been proven to struggle when it gets cold i wonder what Brees's track record is in similar circumstances.

What duo would you guys rather have right now, Marshall/Jeffery or Thomas/Decker?
