Archie hasn't been able to enjoy Saints SB win

Yeah i kinda agree..i just think its REALLY silly for Archie to not enjoy the win....and if Peyton is the reason why ..then he needs to grow the hell up..

The Manning acorns fall close to the family tree.

Whiners. Period. I've been saying it for years and that was never a popular opinion but I've never let that stop be from railing along the truth.

Whiners. Period. All of them. I've met most and I stand by my statement.
Gripe, complain, biotch, moan, whine.

Just watch them for Christs sake. They are always pointing the finger.
You never see a "my bad" from a Manning.

Welcome to Manning reality. Whiners. Period.

Clear enough? Again, I've been saying this for quite a long time.
Nothing in that article changes my take on the matter.

( My assumption here is out of respect for his son) Well, I don't blame him. He starts celebrating his teams win, then his son feels like he's celebrating his loss.

Then he says he "wishes the Colts didn't make it to the Super Bowl". He never said he wished the Saints didn't make it to the big game. Can't blame him here, he would be able to celebrate without any guilt if the Saints had beaten another team in the SB.

Look, I'm not "Manning" guy, but I respect Archie and what he has done for the Gulf South. I didn't like the little game they pulled on draft day back when Eli was taken by the Chargers. I don't really care for Eli or Peyton. I think they are good QB's, but they act very spoiled and selfish at times. I've felt like that long before the whole post Super Bowl "handshake" or lack thereof.

I wouldn't have a problem if there were people still talking about Peyton and how he reacted, but Archie hasn't done anything wrong guys. Hell, he's probably going to catch some flack just for making the comment that he wishes the Colts never made it to the SB. The guy has to concious of his family and their feelings. I don't know how that game was for him....talk about bittersweet. You know he was cheering for his son, but he WANTED the Saints to win.

Anyway, unless there is a bunch more information that I'm not aware of, I don't have a problem with Archie. But I still think his boys are spoiled.

This was a no win for Archie.

On a unrelated note...
I always though that Archie was the Forrest Gump of the Saints.

I agree jnormand and that was kind of my original point. Like OldMaid said, have you read the comments at the end of the article? Archie is getting raked over the coals, and for what, supporting his son. Whether we like him or not, Peyton is still Archie's son and Archie is going to support him. Everybody talks about the hospitality that New Orleans has to offer. This hospitality and support has been offered to Archie for years. He makes one comment about being torn between two loyalties, his passion and his son, and he gets ripped to shreds. Do you think Drew Brees is treating his friend, Archie, this way? All the people trashing Archie should take a look at how this is seen and taken, not only by Archie and his family, but the whole nation.

Now Archie, again, the game is over. The Colts lost. We are sorry you had to go through this. We are NOT sorry that the Saints won the Superbowl. Archie, come on out and join us in our celebration. We want you to be a part of it. We welcome you with open arms. QBrees says he has the first round, I've got the second.

This thread doesn't even exist in a parallel universe.

Archie Manning IS a good person by any account. If any of you people were in his shoes you would have the same emotions he has about the whole thing...unless you're a douchebag of course.

LOL...come on you know we would rev him in a bar...

SapperSaint · 07-27-2010, 02:28 PM

I can understand Peyton and Eli not showing any happy emotions with the Saints finally winning the SuperBowl.

However....

Archie, not being able to celebrate the victory is "F'in" rediculous! Your sons have loyalty to their team. Yes, you have loyalty to your sons, but come on, I don't expect Archie to lead the victory parade, but at least be happy the Saints FINALLY DID IT!

If this was Peytons first trip and had never won a SuperBowl, I could agree with the "I haven't been able to celebrate" crap. Both of your sons have won the great prize, Archie. YOUR TEAM just won their FIRST. Enjoy it, even for a little bit.
