Peyton Manning has received nearly every individual award associated with the National Football League. Still, the one he will receive Friday means something special.

Thatâ€™s because the award is the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, the award given annually by the NFL honoring a playerâ€™s charity and volunteer work, as well as his on-field achievements.

Watch the blood pressure Mikey... we don't want that vein in your neck to start jutting out.

I don't understand why the guy gets all the media coverage and awards.

The article states that Manning's Peyback foundation doled out $900,000 to kids from Indiana, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

First of all, how much of the $900,000 came from Manning? Peyback hosts a lot of fundraising events where the money came from other people. So how much of that $900,000 actually came from Manning's pocket. And does the amount includes Manning's contribution to the Katrina's relief effort?

Second, $900,000 over 8 years is not very much, considering this guy earns in excess of $25,000,000 every year.

I am surprised the media folks cannot see through the phoniness of the self-centered Manning family.

By the way... It was just in fun mikey. The second I saw Manning and charity in the same sentence, I just thought of you.
