Peyton Manning, Tony Romo, Tom Brady And God
I know that this is the Pope and not God, but I figured it was close enough and it works with the joke!
God asks Peyton Manning, “What do you believe?”
Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, “I believe in
hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I
was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans.”
God can’t help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a
seat to his left.
Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, “What do you believe?”
Tony says, “I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the
fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I’ve always
tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields.”
God is greatly moved by Tony’s sincere eloquence and offers him a seat to
his right.
Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: “And you, Tom, what do you believe?”
Tom replies, “I believe you’re in my seat.”
