Eye-opener: Swimsuits, Brees - and more ManningDrew Brees is due in New Orleans for the start of today's downtown parade saluting the Super Bowl champion Saints (starts at 5 p.m. CT).

If you're a fan of the annual magazine issue - and a fan of tennis - you probaby recognize Brooklyn Decker, who's a five-year SI veteran. She's also the wife of court star Andy Roddick.

Now that you've had a full day at the water cooler and a full day to hear talk-show banter and read online and newspaper columns, what's your verdict on Peyton Manning?

While the Baltimore Sun's Dan Connolly isn't buying talk of a tarnished legacy for the Indy QB.

What do you think - up or down for Peyton Manning?
