[quote Mactel]I see a lot of people mentioning how much they hate Peyton Manning. I always wonder why?
I don't love or hate the guy. I do think he's a great quarterback and he seems to carry himself well. Not an a-hole like a T.O. or a showboat like a Chad Johnson. What do people have against him? The tv commercials?
Peyton Manning is an A-hole. He's never, NEVER, won a big game either in college or the pros. After nearly every big loss he's had some sort of blame to place on teammates. Throwing a team mate under the bus after a loss is not carrying yourself well. This goes all the way back to Tennessee losses against Florida.
I've seen him waive off the punt team on 4th down before, essentially taking things in his own hands. He also calls the line blocking. He also calls many of his own plays (ever wonder why they throw the ball on 1st and goal from the 1 yard line so much?).
There's no doubt he is a great QB but when you take on that kind of responsibility on the field then you should man up and take the blame that goes along with it.
