I can't speak for everyone but for me I hate him because :

- I hate his family and the royalty they think they are.
- I hate the way he throws his teamates under the bus.
- I hate the way he says ***** like the other thread about what he said about previous years.
- I hate the way everyone thinks he's the best but forgets the WR he's had.
- I hate the fact I have to see him on commercials constantly.

There's probably more, those are the ones that come to mind immediately for me.

I don't think most of us hate him so much as resent the way the media fawns over him and the inevitable talent vs. system comparisons that get bandied about when the discussion turns to best QB of the generation.

And he does have some fairly annoying habits like not simply taking responsibility and in spreading the blame in a bit too much detail perhaps inadvertently chucking his teamates and coaches under the bus. And then there is his whining, flapping, control freak, peytonface on field drama queen persona...

See we were a tad annoyed when the media choose to compare a young Ben (or this season a young Tony or a few years ago a young Jake) to Tom. But it's tough to hate on guys so flawed they swiftly undercut their own promotion so publicly it's almost comical. The media never acknowledges Peyton's shortcomings, nor does the player, so in that respect he and the media are setting him up to be reviled.

It's pretty easy to tell that no matter how much of an "aw shucks regular guy" Manning tries to be, it's all a facade. Underneath that you can tell he feels a sense of entitlement and is pretty arrogant.

To tell you the truth, PS, I have not listened to one word of sports media since we lost last week (national or local). I just don't have the stomach for it. I probably won't until March or April or so, when this is all over. I have no doubt they have been licking his @$$ the past week and a half. They were actually comparing Peyton Manning to the likes of Johnny Unitas, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Bart Starr et al, when they beat the Pats back in 2005, you know when we had a plague of injuries. I think it was that idiot backwoods pirogue rower, Mike Detillier making this claim. I was like, don't you all think he should actually win something TANGIBLE before you make these ridiculous comparisons?


By the way, what part of town do you live in? I live in Harahan, in Jefferson Parish.

What he said.

All that and...........he never makes a mistake just ask him.

When he threw the INT to Chad Scott in the regular season game he said (paraphrasing) "Well I know their defense pretty well and he out of position so I threw it because he was in the wrong coverage."

I mean come on can you imagine anybody else saying that?

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Yep, BINGO. I have never understood this royal "First Family of Football" sentiment that they were annointed with.

First off, Archie was a TOTAL failure here in New Orleans. His best record ever was 8-8 in 1979, very "underwhelming". I, at least, though had a good measure of respect for him, until his hand in that little back room deal he played a part in, in getting his whiny other "little prince" Eli, to NY, after San Diego drafted him back in 2004. Looking at it now, I would say the Chargers got the better of that deal in the long run, wouldn't you? Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it, and Eli is finding out just how brutal the New York media can come down on you, when you are a repeated "failure". I am sure Archie will attempt come to his "rescue" as well with the NY media, like he sorrily attempted to when Terry Bradshaw lit into Peyton for throwing his linemen under the bus, in wake of the loss in the playoffs to Pitt last year.

If Peyton is such a jerk, why is Brady friendly with him? I think the guy doesn't think any different from most quarterbacks when he feels he was wronged, or feels he's out there trying to win the game by himself, he's just too honest and says what he's thinking.

Uptown by Tulane. I work in Harahan, in fact I'm there right now.

One thing I don't understand is why Archie is so dour and serious all the time. He doesn't seem to be getting a lot of joy out of what his sons are accomplishing ... (hmm, maybe he's envious of his own kids?).
