Did I miss something in this article? I didn't read anything in the article that gave me any reason to believe Archie is being a D-Bag. He said that he and his wife are kind of on the sidelines of all the celebration and don't really get to get involved much. ( 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.
