If you have questions for or about Payton Manning visit his site

I would not put him in a room full of world leaders, as he is a good ol' boy from down south.
He seems genuine and even was through his years at UT. He does not have the normal attitude issues that some in his record breaking position would. He does have the drive to push him self, and he seems to be making good choices on how to bring in extra cash with sponsorships.

d20dwarf I am shocked and ashamed. Rooting for NE after all that good, down home Hoosier Hospitality you enjoyed at the lake house despite my lack of posting the Anti Jared and the boxer story. You had better throw up a hell yeah for the blue nation.

First the Chargers loose a heart-breaker, just when I was starting to warm up to them. And then the Packers attemted to rip my football-fan's soul from my body; every time I turned on the TV to check on the game, something bad happened.

With a limping Walker and Davenport, and no Ferg, though, the Packers were missing a lot of their offense. Only two teams left that I actually like (Indy and Philly).

I'm hoping the Chargers season was not a fluke, and they come back next year strong. THe PAckers just didn't look all in sinc and had timing issues. Plus the balkl just seemed to bounce the Vikings way.

Chargers - no the season wasn't a fluke.

Packers - needs a new defensive coordinator. Maybe Bo Pellini is looking for a new job.

Why would anyone not say Manning is not classy.

Well, erm... that's what I did (gotta watch out for those double negatives )

I understand I am probably the biggest Indy fans on these boards. But I am intrigued, your redneck comment you can keep to yourself and arguably you can say that about anyone from Indiana. But why do you think he is a snob. I always see him go out and shake the opposing teams hand, coaches and he never talks smack before or after the game regardless of the outcome. If you have a specific instance that is fine, if you just get that feeling well then.....

The redneck comment is just a humorous note to his drawling southern accent. If you take too much offense from that, then you need to lighten up and don't take yourself so serious.

Granted, I haven't seen a lot of interviews with him and such, but I'm also more looking at his general demeanor on the field/sideline/etc.. I'd love to be proven wrong (no reason to think ill of anyone if it's not true), but I always get this smug and haughty/"better than thou" vibe from him.
I do not question his abilities with the pigskin, clearly he's a phenomenal player at times. But maybe the constant chatter of being "the greatest QB of all time" has finally gone to his head?
Feel free to disagree with me, and I think you will, as long as we can agree on the fact that we can have different opinions and impressions of the guy

Speaking as someone from Central Indiana who is exposed to Colts media constantly, I can assure you this is most definately not the case. Peyton is one of the nicest, classiest guys you could ever hope to meet.

Well, I picked ATL vs NE in the Super Bowl, so now I have to root for them. Indy's defense is looking more impressive lately, so I'm starting to believe they're a more complete package than I thought. I'm a defense-lover at heart, though, so I can't see myself rooting for the Colts unless they end up in the Super Bowl, in which case I'll definitely be looking for them to put on a show (and hopefully not sputter like the offense-laden Raiders of a couple of years ago).

And Manning does some of the best commercials of any athlete.

Hard to say at this point. They were 4-12 in 03 and they could be back there. They have a QB problem now, and that alone has taken down many good teams.
