Giants legend Eli Manning bests Peyton to win 'Kick of Destiny'
Retired New York Giants quarterback and future Hall of Famer, Eli Manning, didn't leave the football world after retirement. Neither did his brother, Peyton. For the last three years, the brothers have hosted 'ManningCast' every Monday night during Monday Night Football, but that's not the only venture the brothers are part of. For the third time, FanDuel ran the Kick of Destiny challenge on Sunday, dubbed Kick of Destiny 3. What started as a Super Bowl commercial featuring Rob Gronkowski attempting a 25-yard field goal is being morphed into something else. This year, the Manning brothers took it to a new level and made it a competition. You can find the rules here. In the 3:00 p.m. ET hour of the pregame show, Eli and Peyton squared off. Eli won the toss and chose for Peyton to kick first. In Round 1, they kicked from 25 yards out and both brothers missed — Eli completely whiffed. In the second round, they moved the spot to a 20-yard field goal attempt. Peyton went first again and his attempt looked like it might sneak in before hitting the upright and bouncing back. Then it was Eli's turn. He set the ball, took his steps back, hyped up the crowd, and lined up the kick… It was good! Eli Manning bested Peyton again. He's now 3-0 in the Pro Bowl and 1-0 in the Kick of Destiny. After winning, Manning said it was 'well worth it,' referring to some soreness he experienced in practice. The younger brother outdid the older brother and will have bragging rights for however long he likes.

Peyton Manning has been practicing kicks at Broncos' facility with help from Wil Lutz
Peyton Manning and his younger brother, Eli Manning, are set to face off in a field goal battle on Super Bowl Sunday. Ahead of FanDuel's 'Kick of Destiny 3' event, Peyton has been practicing at the Denver Broncos' indoor practice facility with help from the team's kicker, Wil Lutz. 'Lutz has kind of been my consultant,' Manning said during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show last week. 'He didn't want anybody to know that based on how I kick. If I kick poorly, he's like, 'Don't tell anybody I've been helpin' ya.' 'But I was kicking straight on with a square toe and he's like, 'I gotta tell you, Peyton. You don't kick well like that and you look like a fool. They're going to kill you on social media.' So at least now I've gone soccer style. I look better, I'm not saying it's great, but I don't have to be great, I just have to be better than Eli.' Lutz confirmed his involvement on his Twitter/X page: I can attest. This dudes been GRINDING in his spare time. Happy to be apart of your kicking Journey, Peyton. Time to show the world whatcha got! 🏈💥#NoDoinks — Wil Lutz (@wil_lutz5) January 31, 2025 FanDuel has released two commercials promoting the kick-off, and Manning starred in a mockumentary of him 'practicing,' but it didn't include any kicks. The brothers will both attempt to convert field goals at 3 p.m. ET ahead of the Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. FanDuel will also have two Manning commercials air during the game. The Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 9. The game will be televised on Fox and available to stream on FuboTV (try it free).

Peyton Manning's practice for the 'Kick of Destiny' is hilarious
Peyton Manning and his younger brother, Eli Manning, are set to face off in FanDuel's 'Kick of Destiny 3' event at the Super Bowl on Sunday. The brothers will compete to see who can be the first to convert a field goal during pregame ahead of the Super Bowl. FanDuel has already released two commercials promoting the showdown, and they have now shared behind-the-scenes footage of Peyton practicing for the event. In the six-minute mockumentary, Peyton clearly exaggerates his preparation, stating on Day 4 that he went 100-of-100 on practice kicks. Notably, none of the kicks are actually shown. Check it out: On Day 6 of the video, Manning says he missed a 72-yard attempt, otherwise going 199-of-200 on field goal attempts that day. FanDuel also released a mock press conference featuring Peyton and Eli, with the latter saying he only attended the presser so he wouldn't be fined. Here are several more segments from that press conference: View this post on Instagram A post shared by FanDuel (@fanduel) View this post on Instagram A post shared by FanDuel (@fanduel) The brothers will both attempt to convert field goals at 3 p.m. ET ahead of the Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

Best Super Bowl Ads of 2025
Credit - Source Image: Pituk Loonhong—Getty Images Millions are expected to tune in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9. Last year's game, which saw the Chiefs' clinch a 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers, was the most watched program ever, with an average of 123.4 million viewers across all platforms. For advertisers, it's an opportunity to get their products in front of millions. Advertisers pull out all the stops for their biggest— and often most expensive—ads of the year. This year, ads reportedly sold for north of $8 million, a record price. Here is our round-up of the best and worst Super Bowl ads that have been released so far. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal return to Manhattan's iconic Katz's Deli to recreate an iconic scene in When Harry Met Sally. In the 1989 movie, Ryan's Sally was trying to show Crystal's Harry how easy it is for a woman to fake an orgasm, but in the 2025 ad, the intense reaction is brought on by a sandwich generously schmeared with Hellmann's mayonnaise. The popular chip brand relaunched their famous 'Crash the Super Bowl' contest, asking fans to come up with their own ad for the snack. The competition is down to three finalists—the winner will see their ad featured during the game and receive a $1 million prize. In an ad for the online gambling company, brothers and retired NFL stars Eli and Peyton Manning prepare to face off for the 'Kick of Destiny 3,' a field goal-kicking competition that will occur during the Super Bowl. In the ad, Eli confesses to a childhood dream of being a kicker, only to be ridiculed by his older brother. The ad teaser for the domain registry site GoDaddy features a mysterious race car driver shifting gears. 'Who is that?' someone asks from the sidelines in Italian. 'No really, who knows?' The company has historically partnered with Danica Patrick, the most famous American female race car driver. In a 10-second teaser trailer for the company's main Super Bowl ad, 'A Tale as Old as Websites,' a man rides through the countryside on what appears to be a donkey or a mule as bagpipes play behind him, not a laptop or a webpage in sight. Continuing in the tradition of the beer brand's equine-oriented advertising, a young Clydesdale foal looks on as older horses embark on a beer delivery, but he is too young to join. As the delivery team departs, a keg falls off the wagon, and the determined foal sets out on a journey to deliver the keg and prove his mettle. In the run-up to the big game, Fox Sports analyst and former wide receiver for the New England Patriots Julian Edelman is nowhere to be found. Fellow Fox Sports analyst Charissa Thompson wonders why he's not seated for the start of the game, only to learn he's been in the bathroom when he returns with toiler paper stuck to his shoe.
