Did you hear his comments after this event?? Or are you stuck on the video??

Two things, that video was in response to OTG taking issue with my admittedly subjective assertion that Brady is looking a little petulant lately. Secondly, in terms of leadership, what signal does arguing with your coach in front of your own team mates send? And how exactly did Manning throw his team mates under a bus? By saying that the Special teams made mistakes? That's an overreaction. For all we know, his comments were made to inspire them to a better performance next time.

You are insinuating that because he had an argument about a year ago with BOB, that he looks a little petulant lately...

The signal sends is that a team captain, was upset and is passionate about what happens on the field and wants to win the game.. after the game and in subsequent days thereafter he apologized and said it happens all the time.

1. I'm not insinuating anything, I'm making a subjective observation.

2. No, I never said it was based on that one event.

3. How do you know Peyton Manning hasn't already apologised to his special teams?

4. So Brady is allowed to be "passionate and upset" whilst Manning is "throwing people under a bus"?

and drawing conclusions as he seems petulant..2.

what other event did you reference..

3. How do you know Peyton Manning hasn't already apologised to his special teams?
I don't... but he criticized them in the media.

4. So Brady is allowed to be "passionate and upset" whilst Manning is "throwing people under a bus"?
There is a difference between criticizing your teammates in a media session and arguing with a coach on the sidelines...

It is all so silly, time to move on it is a beautiful day and dry leaves await those who seek them out..

Exactly.

Brady's getting Fired Up & Passionate, last year or any year, is the Polar Opposite of Manx's disgusting, simpering assertion that that Brady was getting "petulant" or "sulky", this or ANY year, thank you very much.

The only things "petulant" or "sulky" are the pathetically disloyal whining, pissing, and moaning about a team that's given its Heart & Soul to bring this magnificent region ~ us ~ unprecedented athletic Honor & Glory.

I shall leave you with the last word and move on too.

Oh my good God.

Just so I understand your rather perverse law. It is now wrong to criticise in any way very highly paid sportsmen who put their lives in the public eye that I spend good money to support.

I'll bear it in mind. I will ignore it though, because it's a really really dumb law.

I thought this was going to be about the rest of the team. Brady's character and heart is beyond questioning.
