Does La. really like the Mannings?

D_it_up · 10-10-2012, 07:47 AM

I'm not a Manning fan at all. I have no loyalties to any of them. I wasn't a Saints fan when Archie played. I had no problem with Peyton until he walked off the field after the Super Bowl without acknowledging not even one Saints player to congratulate them. I thought it was poor taste from someone of his caliber. Some will defend him and say he's a competitor, he was upset, yadda, yadda. In my opinion, it was pretty unsportsmanlike. I haven't liked Archie or Eli since Eli was drafted. I won't elaborate anymore on that, because I've voiced my disdain over that situation a few times before a long time ago. My dislike of the Mannings doesn't really have anything to do with where they attended college.

Thanks, D...and I do understand your dislike of Peyton's behavior and had forgotten. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for, btw.

Don't take this as an attack, because I am just curious. (getting a little gunshy from asking questions

) Are you old enough to remember what Elway did regarding the draft, and are you not an Elway fan today because of that...that is, if you remember?

I remember Elway refused to play for Frank Kush/ Baltimore Colts. I dont know if anyone ever did that before, but it was not
taken to kindly by anyone, fans, anyone, even though the Colts were a terrible organization.... People thought Elway had no right to refuse the draft, and that he was a "brat." He was brutally knocked in games the first season, and everyone seem to applaud the beatings.

People for some reason didnt like Elway's teeth, thought he was smiling, or taunting opponents or something.... If you look closer, most of the time, it
was actually a grimace--- he was straining, or tightly focusing. The first time
I heard he refused the Colts draft, and would go to Baseball instead, I admit,
I didnt like him. Now, I think he's a good guy. Very happy he won SB rings.
