Peyton Manning Snubs Justin Timberlake
November 24, 2008
Oh my god, I love Peyton Manning. He’s hilarious even when he’s not trying to be. According to an interview JT did with Sports Illustrated, Manning completely blew him off, not realizing he wasn’t just a regular Joe. The story is below:
Wardrobe malfunction? Turns out Justin Timberlake experienced one of those with Peyton Manning, too.
The scene: a charity bowling event put on by Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, just after Manning signed with the Colts.
“I walked up to shake his hand and said, ‘Hey, man, really honored to meet you,’ ” Timberlake told Sports Illustrated. “I told him the whole story of how my cousin went to Tennessee and I watched him play and congratulated him on the Colts and blah, blah, blah.
“And he looks up at me and says, ‘That’s great, man. Tell you what. Can you give me an 11 ½?’
“I was like, ‘Uh, what?’
“He says, ‘The shoes. I don’t have any shoes. Can you give me 11 ½?’
“And I was like, ‘Uh, OK.’ “
“So he thinks I work at this … bowling alley. I didn’t even say anything to him. I thought it was so funny that I just went and got him his shoes and brought them back.
“I said, ‘Here you go,’ and I walked off.”
