"We have a Manning playing for the Giants," said Bloomberg, referring to Peyton's younger brother, Eli, who plays for the other New York football team.
The mayor— who has dictated how New Yorkers should live by banning trans fats, salt and once set his sights on curbing liquor outlets to keep us healthy— continues his assault on the things that make life more enjoyable.
Now, the second-richest New Yorker's crusade to make NYC thinner has pulled a Snickers bar from his pocket and wants to keep the Jets looking like big, fat losers.
"I think it's be a great story for the press— Manning vs. Manning, both playing in New York," he said. "But keep in mind the Jets have a young quarterback in Mark Sanchez and he nearly led his team to the Super Bowl twice. So let's not dismiss. He's sitting there."
Don't underestimate how much the Massachusetts-raised Bloomberg influence has. He got the city to allow him to run for a third term. Look how good of an idea that was and now he goes from being a nutritionist to NFL general manager.
Bloomberg said he met both Manning brothers when they were playing golf with their father Archie on the same course as the mayor.
"I was very impressed that I shook their hands," said Bloomberg.
