The Denver Broncos and New York Giants are not customary rivals or traditional competitors. However, they share interesting contours in NFL fanfare storytelling.
Both teams have boasted Hall of Fame calibre legends.
Broncos legends: Tony Dorsett, John Elway
Giants legends: Phil Simms, Eli Manning
Peyton Manning and Eli Manning QBd the Broncos and Giants, respectively, and even faced each other.
The Giants were the only team to defeat the dominating New England Patriots (Tom Brady) twice in the Super Bowl (XLII, XLVI), both times led by QB Eli Manning.
The Broncos lost 4 Super Bowls before QB John Elway won back-to-back titles before retiring.
Yes, these two teams are storied in some respect or another, and given their interesting QB feats, they sort of serve as (albeit non-traditional) 'Americana fanfare rivals.'
====
BRONCO: We had John Elway!
GIANT: Our Eli Manning defeated Tom Brady in 2 Super Bowls!
BRONCO: Eli's brother Peyton was QB of our team.
GIANT: New York is the capitol of the world...
BRONCO: Colorado is a scenic U.S. state.
GIANT: Our cheerleaders are more attractive.
BRONCO: That is a biased statement...
GIANT: Captain America would associate more with the Giants!
BRONCO: Perhaps, but the X-Men would associate more with the Broncos!
GIANT: We get more national TV coverage.
BRONCO: Denver is a city content with its satisfying modesty.
GIANT: We'll win more Super Bowls in franchise history.
