What has Brandon Jacobs done for anybody else, but himself.

I could be wrong.

Has he done anything for the state, with all that money?



He ain't from New Orleans either.

Read an article in Times Pic that pretty much said to pull for manning. Wifes Facebook blowing up with Come On Eli.

What have they done here, besides being born here. M. Faulk, Brandon Jacobs, to name a few, are from here and don't get the same treatment.


I have ZERO loyalty for any of the mannings. Brandon Jacobs maybe from Louisiana, but on several occasions has put the state down. He's a complete arse.

for this game


but also in general...The locals pull for the manning boys, by and large. I just think its unwarranted based on the fact that there are other players from the area that don't get the same treatment.

Just look how pissed some of the locals are in this thread.....just cause i'm questioning the loyalty.


I find it amusing.

Not really. The point still stands.

The manning boys get a loyalty from New Orleaneans while other players from the NFL wether from New Orleans or some other part of the area ....dont

And still no good answers as to why. Or at least that would explain the level of loyalty some obviously have

You only think this because the media tells you they are New Orleans' favorite sons. Reggie Wayne, Matt Forte, Ryan Clark, etc. all get plenty of love it's not just the Mannings.

I have personal ties to all of them. Like i know them really well. You know me from the FG advice I gave you, the Mannings are legit in their love of NOLA.

because he's from New Orleans. What other reason do we need?


i asked where you were from because i figured if you were from NOLA, you'd understand that. I guess you are just the exception.


is there a player from NOLA that people do not love? Hard to think of one. It may seem like Manning gets more love, but he is probably the most well known football player from NOLA out side of Peyton. He's a QB playing in a huge media market.
