With the Beijing Olympics coming to a close this past week and the NFL season nearly upon us, one can't help but think ... how much would USA absolutely obliterate the competition if football was an Olympic sport? If Peyton Manning has his way, we'll get to find out in London circa 2012.



Yes, he's got a petition. You can sign it by visiting his "Make Football An Olympic Sport" page.

For the record, this isn't even remotely realistic, but it's fun to imagine the bloodbath that our football players would inflict on the opposition from around the world.

Of course, it can't hurt to sign it. We can never have too many medals here in America, land of Olympic dominance.

Hat tip: Steady burn.
