Archie-Type Casts Long Shadow: Sports Interaction Opens Market on Manning Patriarch Stealing Limelight as Eli Tackles Giant Task at Super
UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM, GLENDALE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON) January 29, 2008 -- In a fun take on events at the biggest sports betting event of the year, Sports Interaction, the first online sportsbook licensed and regulated in North America, is taking bets on whether or not Archie Manning will sing the National Anthem, take a snap for the Giants "for old time's sake," be involved in a wardrobe malfunction with half-time act Tom Petty, or fly loop-the-loops in the Grand Canyon with New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as his co-pilot.
The mischievous market pokes fun at Manning senior's transition from '70s quarterback legend with the New Orleans Saints to progenitor of an NFL quarterback dynasty. Peyton Manning won the Super Bowl last year as quarterback with Indianapolis, picking up the Super Bowl MVP Award along the way, and now Archie's youngest son, Eli, is preparing to face the unstoppable Pats at Super Bowl XLII as quarterback with the Giants.
"Archie's been very involved in Eli's career since Eli was drafted by San Diego and Archie wanted him to play for the Giants," comments Francis Doyle, a senior football betting analyst with Sports Interaction. "Eli's improved form will be critical if the Giants are to end the Pats' dreams of a fourth world title and the perfect end to their perfect season, but Archie's got his part to play too, you know? And we were thinking that maybe it'd be fun if Archie were to go a little nuts and be a little more hands-on on the big day."
"Betting is about fun at the end of the day, and we thought this would be a fun side bet to have along with our multitude of other markets, like points spread, moneyline, totals and the rest," comments Doyle. "We have the height of respect for Archie, his family and his achievements. It sure would be fun to see him do a double-act with Belichick though. Wouldn't that be fun?"
