I have no agenda. I think he is amazing at his job and top 5 all-time (possibly #1 when it's all said and done). However, something about Peyton has always signaled to me that he's a douchebag w/ a great publicist/marketing team that puts him in commercials/TV appearances to make him appear likable. We all know very little about what he's like when the cameras are off and both of us are just going off of our own perceptions.
For example: A lot of the positive things being said about Manning now were said about Favre 5 years ago. I've always felt the same way about Favre as I do about Manning--Douche w/ an expertly fashioned public image.

I know what you're saying. It's like "I'm not racist but" then proceed to spew a bunch of hateful shite. However, that's the only game in his career I've ever heard anything like that from him in 12 years as a pro vs 200 other pressers where he's always said the right things. The protection must have really sucked.
I honestly think when Manning is critisized, it's that kind of unexplainable backlash that people suffer when there's nothing really bad to say about someone. Kind of the same phenomenon that surrounds let's say, Tim Tebow, Tom Brady, etc.

I have a Peyton Manning story, first hand, from playing against him in high school where the guy was a class act even then:
I was on second base and running my mouth like a punk that I was back then. I told him that we were going to be getting hits all day against their pitcher, etc., etc. He looks at me and says, "Hey man. Let's just have a good game."
Pretty classy for a kid in high school if you ask me. No cameras, etc.
