“As you watch the game unfold, you see the scoreboard and it’s just 7-0, it’s 14-0”, Manning said. Football franchises have soared in value in recent years, and star players have become formidable brands in their own right, thanks to lucrative endorsement deals.
They won’t be soaking in the nightlife quite so full throttle once they get to San Francisco on Sunday. “These guys have been working hard toward this for a long time. And that’s the thing that we’ve got to be good at”, Rivera said.
