On Sunday, CBS’s Jim Nantz steadfastly refused to even bring up the Al Jazeera report alleging that HGH was delivered to Peyton Manning’s home. On Monday, Nantz explained why: “If we talk about it we would only continue to breathe life into a story that on all levels is a non-story.” Today we learn that the two men share more than a deep, abiding love of Papa John’s pizza.

The Daily News reports that Jim Nantz is represented by sports broadcasting agent Sandy Montag. Montag also represents Manning on a number of his marketing and endorsement deals.

The connection goes deeper. Montag has long allied with Ari Fleischer—their two businesses announced a partnership last year—since Fleischer quit politics to start a communications firm. The day after the HGH report came out, Manning hired Fleischer to publicly contest the allegations.

1. Thats the secret to a good rep...control the media...

That's why no one ever hears about Manning's sexual assault allegations in college (he settled out of court).
