Manning is also a polished pitchman. In his myriad commercial campaigns--Sprint, MasterCard, DirectTV, ESPN--he manages to seem both sincere and dryly funny. "Mothers out there would buy milk from him," says David Carter, executive director of the U.S.C. Sports Business Institute. "They're not going to have a negative reaction to this guy." Plus, the ads are genuinely entertaining. In a MasterCard commercial, Manning, reversing the roles of peppy fan and star athlete, shouts "You're still the man" at a waitress who has dropped dishes, and tells a clumsy moving team, "All right, guys, they...

...When it's bad out," said Kathy Ford, pregnant and holding Tramaine, 2, on her lap, "I don't go out to the store for milk. Or sometimes I grab his hand and say, 'Come on, Tramaine, walk fast.'" The regular sounds of shooting used to upset the little boy. "It was 'What those shots, Mommy?' and 'Him was killed? Who dead?'" said Kathy, a fashionably dressed 19-year-old, imitating her son.

...cold room with formica-topped tables, hard-backed chairs and a slatternly proprietress with a fag gummed to the corner of her lip, "coffee" consisted of hot water poured onto a spoonful of instant Nescafe. It tasted like dishwater. If you were adventurous, you mixed the instant with boiling milk, which gave you, let's see, instant-coffee-flavored milk.
