Archie Manning speaks on both his NFL sons , and the NE Pats :
" The chargers got the job done , the colts didn't....
... I 'm gonna give you a prediction , i think NE gonna be in the SB......and i think they gonna win it"

I appreciated his objectivity, but if I am him no way I don't be a homer and predict Giants winning it all.

Come on Eli is your son.

Wow, what an a-hole thing to do to Eli. He should have said no comment at the very least. What is he interviewing for a job as a commentator or something? Wow.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

Wax Frog

Somewhat off-topic, but I *must* ask:

Should Archie Manning be referred to formally as the "Übergoober"?

nah...his teams were so bad he has to be the Undergoober...or Daruntergoober in German...I think(if I remember my high school German correctly)

I've always been a fan of Archie.He always keeps it real IMO.

Deus Irae

If he'd said the Giants were going to win, People would attack him for backing his kid. If he'd said he had no comment, people would attack him for not making a pick. It was a no-win situation.

Transcript of the phone call after Eli watched the clip.

Eli: Um Dad I see you picked the Patriots to win the super bowl.

Archie: Yeah son, they are going to win it. You know how Peyton told you the Patriots were beatable, he was lying. The are unstoppable. Some time older brother make stuff up so their kid brother will feel better and have a false sense of hope.

It is just like when you were three and Peyton had you convinced their was a santa clause. You were all excited with joy, and me and your mom had to sit you down x-mas eve and tell you the truth.

As much as the truth can sometimes hurt, it is a parents job to always tell their children truth. I am not going to pump your head with some delusion that you can beat the Patriots.

Eli, the fact of the matter is you got lucky in the Dallas game and Greenbay is going to smoke ya.

But me and your mom still love ya.
