Maybe you've never heard of "Manning rules" because the NFL media treats him like their Master.
Contrary to public opinion, Tom Brady, our lowly 6th round draft pick, doesn't come from `football royalty`, and is basically despised by media personalities that WEREN'T EX-FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
Every week on NFL.com it's front page articles about how bad Brady is, about how Brady is no longer elite, about how fantasy football people should bench him.
In the week #3 NFL power rankings, they make excuses for Peyton's loss and whine about OT rules. They do all sorts of damage control for Aaron Rodgers and talk about how awful his offensive line is, then with the Patriots they just simply say "Tom is playing horribly," when the reality is his offensive line is the worst we have ever seen in New England, and he's getting smashed by pass rushers 2 seconds after the ball is snapped. NO MENTION OF THAT THOUGH. Just "Tom sucks."
Ya, you don't hear about "Manning rules." I don't hear about the Denver Broncos paying players under the table in a blatant CHEATING of the salary cap rules in order to win its two franchise Superbowls either and unfairly help Elway not have to retire in the same boat as Marino.
I hear about Belichick's secret mind reading helmets that helped us to rock, scissor and paper our way to three championships with Crygate about 5 times a week though.
"I've never heard of any Manning rule."
I've never heard North Korean media talk about how much their dictator sucks, either.
What a shocker.
