Media's bizarre deification of Peyton Manning continues

[RhodyPatriot]

SI is going to name the Holy One Sportsman of the Year.
Did I miss something??? Did his Lordship actually win something??

 

[Guts]

David Ortiz, Lebron James, Ray Lewis all deserve it more than Satan Manning

 

[PATRlOT]

The Broncos O-line, Moreno, Decker, Welker, J Thomas, and D Thomas are equally if not more responsible for Manning's success than he is.

LOL, I read "deification" as "defecation."

 

[PatsSox363804]

I give up... I'll never understand their need to shove this guy down the publics throat constantly. David Ortiz was the obvious choice and it should have been easy but even if not Ortiz there are several more deserving candidates.

No, that's what they did to their integrity.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

LOL, I read "deification" as "defecation."

same here

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Today I learned that if you have super talented WRs, you will score many TDs...

 

[RhodyPatriot]

LOL, I read "deification" as "defecation."

...that would be the "end result" for us after reading SI's butt smooching article.

Manning is better than LeBron? My ass!

This is like an actor or director who is close to the end of their career who has never won an Oscar and wins it on a subpar performance just because the voters feel that they may never get another chance to win again. It becomes more of a lifetime achievement award.

Manning has never won this award. SI probably figures that at his age, he may never have a shot to win it again. So they gave it to him more on his body of work rather than his individual year performance.

Not saying it is right, but that is probably their thinking.

Well then call it the Sentimentality award, you are either sportsman of the year or not.

Again, I don't say it is right, but that is probably why he won. Who cares? It is an award put out by a magazine and it means absolutely nothing to the regular season, playoffs, or Super Bowl. It is just another trophy not named Lombardi that Peyton can put on his shelf.

They can shove their collective thought process up their clackers. I'd like an explanation as to how Manning's 2013 has been better than guys who actually won stuff this year like LeBron James, David Ortiz and Patrick Kane. That doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the stupidity of this award to Manning.

aggghhh,,,whaddya all complaining about?....SI is also running a "Spygate 7.5 Years Later Retrospective" with followup "special new info" from Greg Easterbunnybrook, John Tomase,the Ghost of Arlen Spector and a forward by Roger "Ooogly Googly" Goodell.

I cannot wait for my issue....of course I should just use the toiletpaper I have already.

Sports Illustrated names Peyton Manning Sportsman of the Year | ProFootballTalk

In announcing Manning’s selection, Sports Illustrated noted both his outstanding 2013 season and the way he connects with football fans — and has connected with fans for two decades, since he was a college star at Tennessee.

WTF.....

ESPN and SI wouldn't be caught dead putting hockey on that ( as sad at that may be )

 

[Joker]

wonder what "Manning Face" SI is gonna use for the cover???

Manning has never previously won the award. SI not inclined to pick repeat champs. LeBron won last year.
