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...

...little prodding from the big insurers who pay the bills-the NEPSI alliance hopes to encourage a quickening in adoption of electronic prescribing. Because the new program is Web-based, no special software or hardware is required, and NEPSI says the new system takes 15 minutes to learn. Sprint plans to give away 1,000 web-enabled phones to be used to transmit e-prescriptions and to demonstrate the technology's ease of use. To keep pharmacies plugged into the new system, SureScripts, which links pharmacies around the country much like the national ATM network connects banks, will handle...
