We’re less than a week away from Nov. 8, and there is only one viable way to save us from having the least popular president in U.S. history.
Peyton Manning for president.
The NFL website has a video promoting the idea (Google “Peyton for president”), and conservative commentator Erick Erickson has announced his intention to vote for him, but the Manning campaign hasn’t taken off yet, presumably because the candidate isn’t running.
He should. Peyton is not just a proven, quick-thinking leader of undisputed character, but the only person in America who could win up to four states (Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana) as a write-in simply by declaring, “I agree to serve if elected.”
In doing so, he could prevent either major-party candidate from reaching 270 electoral votes, thereby throwing the election to the House of Representatives.
And given a choice between Donald, Hillary and Peyton, it’s hard to imagine even the House not doing the right thing for once. But Peyton could seal the deal by announcing who his Cabinet members and top aides would be. He has the connections to select a far stronger and more popular group of leaders than either Trump or Clinton.
Here’s what the Peyton ’16 team could look like:
Vice president: Tim Tebow. Widely respected conservative Christian with experience at playing second fiddle to Peyton.
White House press secretary: Marshawn Lynch. He’ll never say more than he should. Yeah. (If Peyton also wants someone who can deflect attention from the president when necessary, Rex Ryan could be Lynch’s deputy.)
Secretary of state: Ndamukong Suh. With him in charge of foreign affairs, no country would push America around, although a few smaller nations might fear getting stepped on.
Defense: Dick LeBeau is the unparalleled mastermind. If he declines due to age, Von Miller would do.
Commerce: Roger Goodell. Leader of America’s most internationally successful industry. Has never lost a job to China.
Attorney general: Roger Goodell. Experienced at prosecuting tough cases. He’s run the NFL by himself, so holding two Cabinet positions simultaneously should be no sweat.
CIA director: Bill Belichick. No explanation necessary.
Homeland Security: Tom Brady. In these times of global terrorist threats, it is essential for the Homeland Security chief to have an excellent working relationship with the CIA director.
Health and Human Services: Tony Romo. Extremely knowledgeable on the U.S. health care system.
Social Security: Brett Favre. He has extensive experience in making retirement decisions.
Treasury: Drew Brees. His initial task will be to persuade all 32 starting QBs to donate one year’s salary to the Treasury, thereby cutting the national debt in half.
Housing and Urban Development: Jeff Kemp. A retired QB with real-life policy experience. His father went from champion QB (with AFL Buffalo) to HUD secretary, so why not Jeff?
Labor: A.J. Green. After helping his wife through her recent delivery, he has become an expert on labor issues.
Agriculture: Jason Brown. So dedicated to farming, he left the NFL for it.
Education: Ryan Fitzpatrick, the only NFL QB from Harvard.
Transportation: Chris Christie. To work well with Congress, Peyton would need to select one traditional politician, and Christie is widely respected for promoting transportation efficiency in New Jersey.
Interior: David Ortiz. He would add needed diversity to the team, being a baseball player.
Veterans Affairs: Marie Tillman, formerly Pat’s wife, is the obvious choice.
Energy: Well, anyone who can play in the NFL knows a lot about energy. But Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and James Harrison know this area especially well, having been falsely accused of steroid use along with Peyton.
How could a leadership team like this one not unify the country? Instead of the polarization we face today, the most divisive issue in Washington would be Broncos vs. Patriots.
Peyton, are you listening?

Better than Tebow.... I wonder if he's going to legalize weed? He didn't move to Denver just to open a thousand Papa John's. He knows the secret of the Sour Diesel. He knows what it does. And he knows mofo's get the severe munchies later on.

SGT Damaso V Santana - Seriously. Papa John didn't need him, Denver needed him, and what's not legal for us, but IS legal for him? AND you get to eat for free ANYTIME being you own the places. He'll be Governor Manning in no time.

We should have a popularity contest rather than an archaic process that is rigged.
