2012 NFL Season: How should Peyton Manning announce where he will play this season?

Hold a news conference at the stadium and just drop in...by parachute.

He should stand on a football field, where each 10 yards out is marked with the name of a different team. The yards closer to him are worse teams, the yards farther away are better teams. Then he throws a football, and however far he throws it will decide the team he'll join. If he drops the ball before throwing it, though, he admits he's too injured to safely, sanely play, and he frigging RETIRES like he ought to do and becomes a coach instead.

Just before tip-off of the NCAA championship game, played in his hometown of New Orleans, he walks down to his courtside seats, takes off his jacket, and the crowd and the millions watching on worldwide television gasp as he's wearing a ... well, that's the surprise.

The guy has no social-media presence from what I can tell and has a lousy 39,000 Twitter followers and no tweets. Therefore, he must use Twiiter: @peytonmanning18 Hey y'all. Looking forward to joining the XYZs and trying to win a Super Bowl.

, and all wrote great answers. That said, I think there is really only one choice. Consider the following facts: (1) Peyton films better than average celebrity commercials. (2) Peyton is a good actor when placed in the right sketch comedy, see SNL appearance. (3) Football fans love to make fun of those Brett Favre Wrangler ads. So ... Peyton should film a SNL Digital Short parodying Brett Favre's Wrangler ad. This works best if he becomes a Jet, but really it just works. Wear his new jersey and just throw it to some friends in the mud.

I'm inspired by the 4th season of , where he goes through this half-season long competition to whittle down a group of 40 fellowship applicants down to his 3-person team. How about a week-long reality show that follows him around as the different teams vie for him.  At the end of the day, he eliminates one or two teams in some creative fashion (like the Bachelor or The Apprentice).  This goes on until we reach the final 2, where we do a Hell's Kitchen sort of final. Owners of both teams are behind 2 doors.  One will open, the other doesn't  On the count of 3, the winner opens his door and walks out, revealing Peyton's next team. In all likelihood, he'll just go classy press conference with him, new owner, coach, etc.

He should narrow it down to 3 teams.  Then using an arcade game, throw the ball to a target with the logo of the team he's joining.  Of course, if he screws up and hits the wrong target, he'll realize his talent has declined and that he deserves to join the wrong team. And if he doesn't hit any targets, he should flat out retire. Of course, this should be done live on ESPN (like "The Decision").

He may have already announced where he will be playing by immediately jetting down to South Florida to "work out" there. There just happens to be an AFC team nearby that desperately needs a 36 year old veteran QB. But this is just a coincidence, right?

If he's smart, he'll do it very quietly. Owner, coach and Peyton. Team: We're glad to have Peyton. We think he can help us. Peyton: I'm pleased to be here in (Name of city) and I'm looking forward to the season. Then, if his injury continues to be a problem or age starts to catch up to him, he hasn't acted like a jerk.  His business is playing football, not staging the halftime show.
