Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Peyton Manning

First, read the rules of the game.

This week’s challenge will be Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.

I was able to link Peyton Manning to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees, though that shouldn’t stop you from posting a longer response, or looking for a shorter one. Entries will be accepted until midnight on Thursday, February 15.

Good luck!

And congratulations once again to Lee for winning last week’s challenge by linking Punxsutawney Phil to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees:

Punxsutawney Phil > Bam Margera > Jessica Simpson > Tom Hanks > Henrik Ibsen > William Shakespeare > Sir Francis Bacon

Punxsutawney Phil was given a special tribute by professional skateboarder Bam Margera, who was romantically linked to Jessica Simpson, who became flustered while performing in front of Tom Hanks, who in college enjoyed attending the plays of Henrik Ibsen, who is the most frequently performed classical dramatist in the world after William Shakespeare, who is believed by some to be Sir Francis Bacon.

    Okay, I did it in six; I’ll try later to see if I can get it in fewer . . .

    Peyton Manning > Dan Marino > Courteney Cox > Bruce Springsteen > Elvis Costello > Shakespeare > Bacon

    Yes, that’s valid. Nicely done.

    Can anyone beat six degrees?

    Okay, Lee is the official winner, linking Peyton Manning to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees.

    My best attempt over the week was three degrees.
