Peyton Manning Endorses Nerf Balls

Peyton Manning, in case you didn't notice, already has a few commercial endorsement deals under his belt, so you might think he couldn't possibly have time for one more.

Well, you'd be wrong. Manning's newest commercial doesn't have any catchphrases to go down in history with "Cut That Meat" and "Laser Rocket Arm," but it's for a product I think just about every football fan played with as a kid -- Nerf balls -- and Manning is so earnest in it that when he tells you that you don't have to be a pro quarterback to throw a Nerf ball, you actually feel like you're hearing something meaningful.

It's all for a good cause, as this effort isn't going to fatten Manning's already sizable wallet. Instead, it'll raise money for his Peyback Foundation. And just in case you're wondering who would want a Peyton Manning Nerf football, FanHouse has already heard from Colts fan Sean Huffman, who said, "I could toss that thing 90 yards I bet!!! Yes, I want one."
