This is what happens when news people don’t ask for help when covering a sports story on local TV: Peyton Manning becomes Gary Payton.
True, this awkward mishap happened in Seattle where Gary Payton is a favorite son, but this would be like me putting up an image of Chris Christie and calling it Barack Obama – if you are awake, you should know the difference between the two.
Seattle just may be a city in disarray.

Fact: Their defending champion Seahawks are 3-3, losing two in a row and everyone else is to blame for it.
Fact: Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello was recently denied service at a local restaurant
Fact: The Mariners just had their first winning season since 2009 and still missed the playoffs by one game
Maybe it’s just me, but things started to go downhill after it became public knowledge that Marshawn Lynch puts velvet ropes around his Lamborghini in downtown Seattle – which is more lamer than Peyton Manning’s orchestrated ‘hide the football’ celebration.
Which brings this all back to the error at hand…. the picture above is not Peyton Manning, and even if you are a hapless news person, you should know better.
Somebody take their job and represent sports the way they were meant to, like this.
