Look out Rick Ross and Lil Wayne--the Manning Brothers are looking to take the hip-hop crown in their new DirecTV commercial that has gone viral, generating two million views in its first day.
The Manning Brothers have been known for their sense of humor - showing off their comedic chops on shows like Saturday Night Live and other commercials, as well. In 2011, the Manning Brothers played "Football Cops", making fun of the "buddy cop" movie genre. Last year, the Manning Brothers and Deion Sanders played football faeries helping fans watch their football team on TV.
This year, the Mannings are spitting hot lyrics in their song, "F.O.Y.P.", in which the Mannings tell fans they can now watch football games on your phone or tablet via DirecTV's services.
"Peyton and I had fun doing the skit," said New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning on Wednesday before practice. "Obviously (we) got a lot of laughs together just every time we would kind of look at each other and wonder what we were doing."
The Denver Broncos also got a kick out of quarterback Peyton Manning showing off his lyrical skills, though Denver general manager John Elway does not see any Grammys in his quarterback's future.
"Great video," said Elway. "But I will tell him today to stick to his day job."
