"She never made it to the NFL," Manning said, feigning disgust. "Didn't have what it took. Got cut by the Dolphins

Man, that's bad.

That United Way Sketch was the funniest thing. Made the kid sit in the Port-o-potty. :)

Manning later demonstrates to the kids how to break into a car and arranges for one boy to have his leg tattooed.

THAT'S IT, FREEPERS SHOULD BOYCOTT SNL AND THE COLTS FOR PROMOTING IMMORALITY < /Holier than thou FReepers >

"Peyton Manning used his "Saturday Night Live" monologue to poke a little fun at his mother"


What kind of person pokes fun at his mother? Especially on national TV!

The President of the United States does. ;-)

I haven't seen it much over the years either, but I did happen to see the one a few years ago where John McCain did the commercial for a CD of himself doing Barbra Sreisand songs and it was a SCREAM!

Thank you! I just watched it again (and bookmarked it) and cracked up all the way through it. That one is a classic.

"What kind of person pokes fun at his mother? Especially on national TV!"

My brother, father and I poked fun of mom (God rest her beautiful soul) on a regular basis.

She had a great sense of humor and she could take it and then dish it right back to us in spades!

I thought Peyton did a good job. He was clearly nervous during the monologue (talking a mile a minute), but he settled down. Some of the skits were really funny (I liked the Untied Way parody and the halftime peptalk), but most were not. The writing as usual was lacking.
