Watch Peyton Manning’s six commercials for Subway

Peyton Manning remains in high demand for companies hoping he’ll pitch their products, services and food items to sports fans.

Peyton Manning retired from the NFL in 2016, but he has remained in the spotlight thanks to his numerous commercials and film projects.

He’s worked with Netflix (Quarterback), ESPN (Peyton’s Places and the ManningCast), NBC (Olympics), the NFL (Flag Football and the Pro Bowl), the NBA, Bush’s Beans, Workday and Centura Health, and he even hosted the CMA Awards and served as an honorary chair for the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship, all while serving as a part-time professor at Tennessee.

Manning’s been a busy man, and that’s not even an exhaustive list of all the projects he’s been working on. One of the former quarterback’s latest endeavors was filming short commercials for Subway.

Here are six of Manning’s recent appearances in Subway ads.

Here’s how to get a free Subway sandwich on July 11, 2023

Go get some free Subway today!

Hey, did you know you can get a free Subway sandwich on Tuesday, July 11 2023? And it’s not because of the date.

It’s because the sandwich chain wants you to try its new sliced meats from their new slicers, so they’re giving away a million free six-inch subs. Here’s how to get them: Go into a Subway between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. local time. Ask for a free six-inch Deli Heroes sub. It’s one per person and no substitutions, while supplies last.

Victor Wembanyama rode the subway for the first time on his way to Yankee Stadium

Victor Wembanyama rode the subway for the first time while traveling to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.

As superstar basketball prospect Victor Wembanyama prepares to hear his name called first in the 2023 NBA Draft, he’s getting the full Big Apple experience.

Wembanyama threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night and took public transportation to get there. In fact, the 7-foot-2 French phenom had actually never rode the subway before, and it was just fascinating to see him take it all in.

As you could imagine, the very tall Wembanyama did his best to crouch down to get into the subway, and he took subway riders by surprise as he joined them for a ride.

If Wembanyama really wanted to take in all of New York that he could, riding the subway was a pretty good way to do it.

He’ll soon make his home in San Antonio with the Spurs, but getting a bite out of the Big Apple ahead of draft night never hurts.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reunites with Chad Henne for new Subway commercial

The bond among players in the NFL can transcend past being teammates and playing days. The Kansas City Chiefs have had the luxury of a stable tandem at quarterback with starter Patrick Mahomes and backup Chad Henne since 2018.

Henne announced his retirement from the NFL after Super Bowl LVII and played an essential role in the relief of Mahomes. After signing with Kansas City back in 2018, he’s thrived in the veteran quarterback support role and clutch moments during the postseason.

While the two quarterbacks won’t share the gridiron again on Sundays, Henne and Mahomes recently reunited for a project off the field. In a post to his Instagram account, Henne shared some photos of himself with Mahomes on the set of an upcoming Subway commercial which is notably endorsed by the two-time league MVP.

“Now that we are in different area codes,” said Henne via his Instagram, “we still find a way to be on the same team!”

Henne’s touchdown pass to Travis Kelce in the divisional round victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars was his lone postseason touchdown for his career. He provided a similar boost in the 2020 divisional round victory over the Cleveland Browns, keeping the Chiefs afloat following a Mahomes’ injury.

The 37-year-old was a collegiate star at the University of Michigan and a former starter for the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars since being drafted in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. The Chiefs will be in the market for a new trusted backup next season, but it’s nice to see the duo team up one more time, even if it’s just for a commercial.

Everyone thought that Tom Brady Subway commercial was very strange, and they were right

What exactly is going on here?

We are never getting rid of Tom Brady, In fact, there will only be more Tom Brady. Tom Brady, despite being 44 years old, is somehow better at football and also handsomer than ever. He should be digging through a closet looking for a heating pad because he tweaked his back on the “hill” (there is no incline, really) while cutting the grass (with a self-propelled mower), but instead he is absolutely torching the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL opener.

Tom Brady is so ubiquitous — you thought that 10-part documentary in the works was a little much? — that he is now being used as a spokesman for A FOOD HE DOES NOT EVEN EAT.

We are all thinking back 20 years to the defining day of our era. How could we not?

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the NFL postponed Week 2’s games. The season re-started with Week 3, on Sept. 23, and we were all relieved, if perhaps nervous, that we could gather, that the flag could be unfurled, the songs sung, the games played. We could inch toward a future hastily revised by planes plunging to where they weren’t supposed to be.

That was the week when Drew Bledsoe took a hit so hard that he began bleeding internally, thus giving Brady, the 199th draft pick from the 2000 draft, a chance to start playing professional football.

Nobody was really thinking clearly back then, about anything. But I’m confident that if you’d happened to mutter to somebody — there was a lot of muttering then, we were lost and trying to find the words — that in 20 years that unheralded new Patriots QB would have seven Super Bowl rings (and 5 MVPs!) and widely be considered the best ever AND be known for his strict diet AND be hocking Subway, it all would have felt incomprehensible, even at a time when most things felt incomprehensible.

I mean, who even would have believed that Subway would still be slinging its cardboard-tasting bread and slimed-up old lunch meat topped with wilting vegetables and dubious sauces? We were supposed to move forward.

But here, as they say, we are. (Sorry, Subway. It’s very hard to slander Tom Brady, he’s too perfect. You’ll have to take the hits.)

It’s an interesting choice to have a pitchman whose brand is built partially on not eating the primary component of the thing you are trying to convince people to buy. I would never consume this unhealthy food or drive this tiny car or sleep on this lumpy bed or stay at this third-rate resort or wear this poorly fitted suit but for you, the one with the heating pad on the sore back, it’s plenty!

Wait. That’s most ads, I guess.

The jokes, as they do, came quickly.

(Good one, Andy!)

Let’s take a closer look, but not too close a look, at one particular part of the commercial that stood out for people.

Yeah. The imagery here does not feel subtle at all. You are not alone, Rey. This misery is shared.

You might recall that Brady’s former coach with the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, has also been paid to convince you to eat at Subway.

(YouTube made me watch an ad before I could view this ad, in case you’re wondering whether any moment of your existence can ever pass without somebody trying to sell you something.)

What do these two commercials add to the debate over which man was more important to the New England Patriots dynasty? I’m afraid they get us no closer to resolution. I’m as confused about this question as I’ve ever been about anything (and let me tell you’ve I’ve spent a not-insignificant amount of time trying to figure out what exactly that meat is that Subway calls “steak”; I’m not a person interested in avoiding life’s difficult quandaries.)

On the one hand, Subway tells us, you should embrace Bill Belichick’s sartorial decisions. On the other, Subway says, you should cave to the cravings Tom Brady has staved off for so long, with great success.

None of it merges. There is no call or response. All that was entwined remains so, in knots we couldn’t make and most certainly cannot untie. All we’re left with is this:

Man, Tom Brady looks good. He is good. So good. But I’m still going to be defeated by bread, I might eat an entire loaf, god bread is so good, it won’t be Subway bread but it will be a nice bread, and it’s going to be incredible, might even use some butter, not sure, but I’ll get to it right after I call somebody about cutting my grass for me.

Twitter has field day with Bill Belichick eating a sub from Subway

This picture is hilarious.

Bill Belichick is a busy man, right?

The New England Patriots head coach and general manager has spent a majority of his life with full dedication to the NFL. He coaches for half the year and prepares for the upcoming season in his downtime. These coaching responsibilities didn’t stop him from shooting a commercial for Subway.

Belichick spent his day shooting the commercial in Branford, Connecticut on Tuesday. Photos surfaced on the internet and Twitter got ahold of some pretty hilarious ones, of course.

The legendary head coach had one priceless picture in specific and the Twitter world took off with it immediately.

Watch: Bill Belichick downs Footlong while filming Subway commercial

Bill Belichick feasted on a Footlong while doing a Subway commercial in Connecticut.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t hungry just for a ninth championship ring. Looks like Mr. Eight Rings has an appetite, too, for Subway footlongs.

Check out Belichick as he chows down on a big sandwich while taking a break during a commercial shoot Wednesday in Connecticut.
