With six days left before Super Bowl XLIV, tension is mounting between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints.
Peyton Manning referred to Darren Sharper as “Jamie” during an interview Sunday night. Manning was apparently pretending to confuse the Saints’ free safety with former Ravens and Texans linebacker Jamie Sharper. Jamie has been out of football since 2005.
According to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, Sharper got back at the Colts’ quarterback by calling him “Eli” on Monday.
Sharper, of course, has owned the Giants’ quarterback throughout his career. The five-time Pro Bowler has picked off Eli four times, returning three of them for touchdowns.
Sharper, though, has never intercepted Archie’s better son.
