Three quarterbacks

[MorGrendel]

Three quarterbacks, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Tom Brady, go to heaven to visit God and watch the first-place Celtics play a game. God decides who will sit next to him by asking the boys a question...

God asks Peyton Manning first: "What do you believe?"

Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."

God can't help but see the essential goodness of Peyton, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Eli Manning and says, "What do you believe?"

Eli says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose (and I've lost a LOT), I've always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields."

God is greatly moved by Eli's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"

Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

So the lesson here is...Tom Brady is an arrogant, presumptive ass?

Just like us. Happy Ash Wednesday.
