The whole "replacing a geriatric tv and (briefly) film star from the 1980s with the third-or-fourth most recognizable retired quarterback to sell our crap overpriced sandwiches" thing got stale faster than any of these sandwiches will, considering the level of preservatives they (not the film star or quarterback) are stuffed with.
That being said, the whole Manning thing in general has gotten just as old. Whether it's Eli or his much more visible- dare I say ubiquitous- brother, seriously, haven't we had enough of this family already? Judging from the college scoreboard, it will be awhile before a third Manning achieves the same level of media overload, though I certainly see that happening down the road. Because for some reason, tv can't get enough of the Mannings.
Personally, I wouldn't buy one of these sandwiches if it was being promoted by anyone because I know that in advertising a buck is a buck and I think Eli Manning eats Jersey Mike subs about as often as David Ortiz places bets on his iPhone or Pat Mahomes spends afternoons hanging out with his State Farm agent. But someone explain to me how Danny DeVito sells anything. Then explain to me the appeal of the Manning brothers. I'll wait.
