Efron was also the perfect age to play

Peyton in prime time?

It won’t louis vuitton sunglasses take long.

As the NFL revealed Tuesday with its schedule release, the Denver Broncos Peyton Manning’s new team will host the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2012 season, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It’s one of five prime-time games for the Broncos, the maximum allowed in a league that, for the first time, will give each of its 32 teams at least one night game on national TV.

Eight days later, the Broncos will be on “Monday burberry handbags Night Football,” marking the first time the Broncos will have opened the season with consecutive prime-time games.

The Broncos beat the Steelers in Denver in a first-round playoff game last season, an overtime thriller that ended with an 80-yard touchdown a Tim Tebow-to-DeMaryius Thomas pass on the opening play of the extra period.

Other observations on the 2012 schedule:

It won’t be easy to be a Manning this season. Eli’s New York Giants have the toughest schedule (based on last season’s records of their opponents), and Peyton’s Broncos have the second-toughest schedule.

Dallas is on the road for six gucci sunglasses of its first nine games, including the kickoff opener against the Giants.

San Francisco, which came within one victory of the Super Bowl last season, opens at Green Bay. That could be a very early glimpse at the NFC title game.

Two teams have three consecutive road games: the Packers and Houston Texans.

The challenge of holding off Tebow will be especially hard for New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, seeing as his team faces the Steelers and 49ers in the first month. The Jets open against Buffalo, which might have the league’s best defensive line.

Assuming he’s the No. 1 pick by Indianapolis, Andrew Luck burberry ties will open his NFL career at Chicago. Gulp.

Assuming Washington takes Robert Griffin III second, the Heisman Trophy winner will open at New Orleans against a defense that could be depleted by player suspensions.

The Saints have four prime-time games, including a Sunday nighter against San Diego in Week 5, before Coach Joe Vitt will be cleared to return from his six-game suspension. Vitt, who will take over for the suspended Sean Payton, will make his coaching debut in another Sunday night game, in Week 8 at Denver.

Week 4 features a rematch of Saints at Packers, last season’s kickoff opener.

The traditional Peyton Manning-Tom Brady game with a twist will resume Oct. 4 when Denver plays at New England.

In keeping with the league’s efforts louis vuitton handbags to make the end of the season as meaningful as possible, all Week 17 games are divisional matchups.

Ever since the “High School Musical” series concluded, Zac Efron has been trying to distance himself from his days as a teen pinup.

But his first major drama, 2010’s tear-jerker “Charlie St. Cloud,” didn’t do much to cement his reputation as a serious actor: The movie earned tepid reviews and didn’t make a significant dent at the box office.

The 24-year-old is hoping things will finally change with “The Lucky One,” the Nicholas Sparks adaptation coming out Friday in which he stars as Logan, a soldier trying to track down the subject of a photograph he believes kept him out of harm’s way during wartime.

“This was a role that was a big stretch,” the actor acknowledged Monday night at the film's premiere in Hollywood, where the carpet was decorated with faux grass, tumbleweeds and hay bales.

“I don't think you could find two different people oakley sunglasses on this planet than me personally and Logan.

"I really admired his integrity. But he's a Marine. I'm just a musical theater geek.”

Director Scott Hicks said Efron was clear early on about his intention to show a different side of himself in “The Lucky One.”

“We definitely talked about that and his desire to move into a new phase of his career,” Hicks said. "Clearly, this is a very transformational role for Zac Efron. ... The demands of the character were someone who has suffered from a certain amount of stress from the war, so he's very uncommunicative. He's so different to Zac's own personal nature, which is so charming and outgoing and easygoing.”

Efron was also the perfect age to play 2012 marc jacobs fashion sunglasses bestseller on sale DUPO5787 a Marine, said novelist Sparks, who has seen the likes of Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling and Liam Hemsworth play leading men in films based on his books.

“He brings such tremendous ability as a performer,” Sparks said. “I think this will lead the ground for him to be a leading man in a lot of different films.”
