Breaking News: Kenny Chesney Does Not Do It With Guys. So Stop Asking!

One of our favorite ongoing jokes involves the unusually close relationship between Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and country "singer" Kenny Chesney, or, as we prefer to call them, "Chesnning." Well, our handsome devil of a brother at Defamer has the report today of a flight attendant proclaiming to an entire plane that Chesney is not, in fact, taking snaps from our favorite Colt.

Apparently, a 47-year-old woman announced to a Southwest Airlines flight — which just happened to have a gossip columnist on board — that she was once hump buddies with Chesney ("when he had hair") and he was "capable."

This, of course, will end all Chesnning rumors, until, of course, that conveniently timed post-Pro Bowl cruise trip. Here's hoping Fred Smoot's there.

This is cheap, but come on, who cares, you know? We just can't resist a good Chesnning story.

We just feel obliged to point out that the Pro Bowl this year — which Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was just elected to, again — is on February 12.

Two weeks later, in just enough time for everybody to chill out and lick their wounds, is the Kenny Chesney Cruise Getaway, featuring "sun, fun and an intimate evening with Kenny Chesney. A once-in-a-lifetime event."

To quote, once again, Ennis Del Mar's long-suffering wife: "I don't think you boys go up there to fish."

We're Going To Resist A "Giving Him Blue Balls" Joke

See that? That's a Christmas ornament as designed by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning for the Alive Hospice. It's kind of cute, a hand-drawn little angel. Other ornaments featured on the site include designs by Amy Grant, LeAnn Rimes, Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen and, yes, country music crooner Kenny Chesney.

That's right: It's another excuse for Chesnning synergy. And you knew we couldn't resist it. The ornament is currently being sold on Kenny Chesney's Web site, and at 10 bucks, it's a pretty good deal and goes to a good cause. Plus, you know, it's always funny to have an excuse to make Brokeback Mountain jokes around the tree.

Oh, for those of you who keep asking, yes, we have seen Brokeback, and we agree, Peyton is Ennis and Kenny is Jack Twist, totally, obviously.
