Meet Bush's Baked Beans' new spokesman----Peyton Manning! (2023)

He may be retired from football, but you just can't escape Peyton Manning.

Manning has landed two new endorsement deals in recent months. For one, he's joined the growing lineup of endorsers for Subway, as a "correspondent" for "sports anchor" Charles Barkley. As for the other, well, I've already spoiled it.

Manning was also signed to trade barbs with Bush's Baked Beans' mascot, Duke.

Bush's released this "audition" tape.


Now, I know I've ragged on him because of his folksy charm, but it lends itself to speculating on what he could do as an actor beyond commercials. Remakes of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" or Gomer Pyle, USMC or No Time For Sergeants come to mind. Shoot, could you picture Peyton in Mayberry?
