[size=1.35em]Reading the comments following the linked article, I was reminded of an NFL promo from the late 1960s.
One of the league's national sponsors ran a multi-week contest, the winning family of which got to home-host its NFL player of choice for an overnight visit that included dinner and breakfast.
The best of the myriad jokes that followed: The winning family welcomes Bart Starr for a night. The runner-up gets Joe Don Looney for two weeks.
Punch line translated to 2015: Andrew Luck shows up at the winner's door with an overnighter. The runner-up flees the house as "Football Johnny" Manziel [/size][size=1.35em]back up a minivan. [/size]
