I lost a great deal of respect for Payton Manning

[superpunk]

I too, was miffed that Payton Manning didn't take the time to congratulate Sean Peyton.

Why does everything about being a QB in the NFL have to come down to either "he's a choker" or "he's the best of all time?" No in-between? Really? So he threw a pick 6. Show me a QB who's played as long as Manning has that hasn't. Doesn't matter, though, right? He threw it, so now some of you think he's a choking, underachieving loser? Unbelieveable.

Show me the rule that says Peyton should have found Brees to shake his hand. Will Manning be fined for this behavior? Ever consider that maybe he had to take a dump after the game an couldn't wait? Who are any of you to say what he should and shouldn't do after the game? How is it that Peyton not finding Brees to shake his hand has shook up so many people's worlds? This ain't TMZ, people, no matter how much you want it to be. I could care less what Peyton did or didn't do after the game. I'm not his keeper, though some of you seem to think you are.

Brees himself has said nothing to support all of the ridiculous BS about Peyton that I'm reading. You'd think that if it was that big of a deal, Brees would have said the same, but that's not the case. It's quite the opposite, in fact, yet there's still this need to do the whole TMZ crap.

Pathetic.

It's still a Super Bowl win.

Please, let the hate go. It will make you rest easier at night.

no hate, just stated facts and if any of the facts or wrong then please point them out. One SB does not justify the GOAT QB status that he is reciever.

With the crowd rushing the field, no surprise he walked off, I would too.

Some of you need to see his post game interview, .. nothing but class.

You can say you don't like him, that's fine, .. but leave it at that.

When you try to come up with reasons that aren't there, you sound pathetic and small.

If you weatched before the game ended and the interviews were held, then you would have seen Manning sitting on the bench with sour grapes on his face, as early as THE THIRD QUARTER BEFORE THE GAME WAS OVER, not liking how he was getting his head handed to him. Instead of being a leader, he actet like a LITTLE PRISS, looking down on and blaming his teammates. His team needed him to step us as the leader he is prtrayed to be. Instead, he PROVED to not be that player - when the going got tough, Manning FOLDED. But hey, great interview!

 

[Cajuncowboy]

No, Manning has only been portrayed as a class act, but it's evident now that he is not. So yes, NOW he gets THIS!


AND BY THE WAY...

This is not about the handshake per se, or his demeanor after losing the Super Bowl. It's more about his demeanor DURING THE GAME. As the Colts were being challenged, Manning sat there with sour grapes on his face, as early as THE THIRD QUARTER BEFORE THE GAME WAS OVER. Instead of being a leader, he actet like a LITTLE PRISS, looking down on his teammates. His team needed him to step us as the leader he is prtrayed to be. Instead, he PROVED to not be that player - when the going got tough, Manning FOLDED.

Ridiculous. You're trying to make a judgment on a guy by watching him on the TV. You say he was "Portrayed" as a class act. WTH does that mean. He must have demonstrated some class for him to be "Portrayed" like that.

He was frustrated and you say he acted like a little priss. Give me a break. I saw him talking to his offense late in the game encouraging them that they were still in the game.

Got to love jealousy when it finally shows up. It makes for great asinine threads.

It was not the spectacle it is now, I attended a SB for 35 dollars a ticket in 1976 good luck going to that game now. Back then you had 3 networks now you many more in the media who are covering the game it has grown over the years.

Its big as in media coverage and any little thing you do is covered by camera and more talking heads than needed.

But the game itself is not bigger, its more of a shell of its former glory when it really meant something, now its an advertising giant thats looked at more for the dollar signs its represents compared to its spirit.

A lose back than hurt more than it does now.

Man I can't believe everyone making excuses for the posterboy. When Lebron James walked off the court against the magic ESPN ripped him for 2 consecutive days. Enough of this garbage about the stage being rushed on the field for the celebration. The same stage was rushed onto the field in the AFC championship game and Mark Sanchez still
found Manning to shake his hand.

Again, the media will give him a pass because he's the posterboy for the NFL. I can't stand the mannings. I've heard enough about the family and it's story. Thank god the saints won, because the Manning love would've been unbearable. Screw Peyton Manning!!.

See blue text above for speculation and opinion.

Like I said in a previous post, "pathetic and small", ... I didn't name names, but now you have singled yourself out.

 

[BrassCowboy]

sorry, I just did not see anything that would have me lose respect for Manning yesterday. I agree with him in saying it was the Saints time to shine and let them have the field.

I think it is just a little bit of whining to nitpick anything other than that out of it.

agreed, heres an opinion we might as well start taking up, people that lose that make it more important that THEY congratulate the winner. How many people hate those players?

just because you saw something on camera doesnt mean you know fully whats going on. the Sb in a word, HECTIC and you cant find everyone and Brees was probably to busy finding his family to care of Peyton found him.

Let it lie.

True but the coveage helps create the bigger atmosphere than what is was like before. Not saying it is a good thing or bad although it is what puts the big money in the pockets of both owners and players so I'm sure they do not mind

 

[birdwells1]

I guess all of y'all supported LeBron when he walked off the court and sent Dwight Howard a text message later huh?

Peyton was pissed but he still should have shown some class and try to find some of the NO players, I mean it's only 53 of them.

Peyton choked in the biggest moment not only did he throw the pick 6, he threw 2 other passes that could have been intercepted during the final 3 minutes or so.

To have the stats that he has he should have more SB wins and apperances. Peyton has lost big games against SD twice, Pittsburgh, and now NO when his team were favored to win and the first 3 were at home. Not only did his team lose but he played bad or not up to his regular season standard.

The SB that he did win he wasn't outstanding against a taylor made opponent. I think if the Cowboys get past Seattle then we beat Chicago the next week. Chicago had to be one of the worst SB teams ever. Their offense was just putrid.


As of now Peyton is the best regular season QB to ever play but the postseason is where your reputation is cemented.

Remember that Tennessee didn't win a national championship until the season after Peyton went to the pros.

Sooo I guess Peyton gets a pass, huh. Boy if Romo throws that pick 6 and walks off the field with that concocted excuse he would have been blasted unmercifully. Again, did y'all say the same thing about LeBron?

I can live with that. At least you're honest about your feelings.

You hate the Mannings, .. not everyone does.

and still we long for the good ol games. I understand what ya saying and agree, but lets face it the SB back than to today, those were games with players that wanted to be there and not thinking about the check after the game or a league that cared of if they made the season.

Couple more years we'll be saying 'remember when they hit the other players"

The funny part is we are seeing how the money is ruining the game and the coverage is getting annoying, see this thread, and the question still remains, why are rookies paid so much".

And now the SB is being analyzed and psychologically evaluated and you know what, the Colts still lost. You know why, to that theory I still bring up, the Saints scored more points.

The simple fact that Manning talked with Brees afterwards is enough for me. Manning has shaken hands with other win or lose but in the hoopla following the SB I have no issue with Manning giving Brees a congratulation after the hoopla is over. Brees does not seem to have an issue with this why should anyone else.

are you quoting yourself and replying it in that post?

I agree, nothing against what ya said in your post. I agree too, Brees was exploding with emotion, and Peyton is a class player across the boards, so there shouldnt be a problem with it.

I agree. I'm a football purest I like it better when the money was less, FA and cap did not exist and teams were built for the long haul instead of today’s where the team who is your enemy now may be the team I play for tomorrow. It is what it is and while I would love to turn back the hands of time it is not going to happen.
