Wilson vs. Manning For Super Bowl Heartthrob

Wilson vs. Manning For Super Bowl Heartthrob

As we all know, the Seahawks recently won Super Bowl XLVIII. By the time the third quarter rolled around, my mind started to wander. For those who lost interest in the game, or those who were only watching for an excuse to eat and drink American-sized portions on a Sunday, the battle of the quarterbacks has only just begun. With such an unexciting game, the real question arose: who is the bigger heartthrob, Russell Wilson or Peyton Manning?

 
Wilson, who grew up in Virginia, is a former baseball player and a football player, so if football players aren't your thing, he's got you covered. He's also an educated man. He played for the University of Wisconsin, which is a respectable institution despite its infamous reputation as a party school. The game changer, for me, is that Wilson is a dog person. He owns three dogs with his wife and former high school sweetheart, whom he married in 2012 (I like to ignore that minor detail). Wilson is an all-around good guy and doesn't let fame and success get to his head. He regularly visits the Seattle Children's Hospital and runs a youth football camp. All proceeds from the camp go to the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association.
 
 
Manning is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, while Wilson is new to the game. Manning earned his degree in speech communication from the University of Tennessee in only three years, although he stayed for his senior year. What girl doesn't love a guy who knows how to communicate? His wife, Ashley, would agree with that sentiment. Manning, true to his Southern roots, claims that his priorities, in order, are faith, family, friends and football. Not surprisingly, Manning is not afraid of being in the public eye. In fact, he relishes it. He's appeared on Saturday Night Live and numerous commercials. He uses his fame to give back, though. His charity, the Peyback Foundation, aims to help disadvantaged children.
 
 
It was excruciatingly clear that the Seahawks dominated the Super Bowl, but who wins all-around best quarterback? Manning and Wilson are both extraordinary athletes and well-rounded men. The choice is yours, ladies and gents (it's no secret that both players are the subjects of many man crushes).

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.
