A big, easy choice for father Archie

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.: The town he calls home and the team he took a beating for over the course of a decade finally made it to the SuperBowl. The quarterback on the other side is his middle son. Archie Manning will not mince words. He can find room in his heart for only one of them.

"It's easy," Manning Snr replied this week when asked to choose between the New Orleans Saints and son Peyton's Indianapolis Colts. "Very easy, anyway, when you've got a boy in the game."

But not quite as easy as he makes it sound.
