Ok, let's not take it out of context. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist...olts_x.htm
He didn't call ONE person out, as many other players around the league would. The man, fresh off of a heart-breaking defeat that was lost on a field goal attempt, was hounded by reporters.
Peyton is a solid guy, and a solid role-model. That's why the NFL holds him in such the high esteem. That's why he gets all the endorsements. People *want* to be associated with a person of his character. And the Colts are full of people like him ever since the two jokers (Edge and Vander-Nut-Sack) left.
There are some solid guys on the Bears too (with the exception of the idiot who needed court permission to travel outside the state lines of IL, Mr. Tank Johnson). Urlacher deserves a win just as much as anyone else. He's a classy guy too. This is a fantastic SuperBowl match up. One of the best all-time defenses meet a top of the line offense. It does not get much better than that.
My point is, there are so many other people to hate on in the NFL: Chad Johnson (or any of the arrested Bengals for that matter), Keyshawn Johnson, TO... There's no need to dump on solid characters like Peyton.
