re: Archie Speaks.......

dont get pissed because you can't answer my question. Put your Peyton Jersey on, go rub one out in the sink, and then complaine to your wife about what an ahole I am....and guess what when you take from an organization and a city that has been shitted on during your football career and has suffered the most terrible natural disaster in history with you as a resident YOU OWE THEM ALOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE TO GIVE THEN THEY DO...Its called compassion...Look in the mirror and see what a selfish douche bag looks like....and as far a roommates...your wife owes me half of last months rent........

true, he was and is just a sap-sucker (money first in his pockets)! this is what his passing camp in N.O. is all about, benefit of his elder son Cooper. but, he was still an excellent QB for the Saints without much help all those years that he played.

---

I will never doubt his talent or toughness...just his willingness to help a City that provided alot of good memories....alot of people with alot less have given more.............

can't hate Archie for supporting his son.

Sears, Rebuilding Together & Archie and Olivia Manning Team Up

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

What a great morning. We are here with Sears, Rebuilding Together and the first family of New Orleans — Archie and Olivia Manning (where they are just as big of stars as their NFL quarterback sons Eli & Peyton) — to rebuild a 3,000 square foot community center that will serve the location neighborhood in the 9th ward.

And on Saturday, Sears, the Mannings and Rebuilding Together will turn the keys of homeownership back to Army Corps veteran Geraldine Bush. Both properties are located in a neighborhood that was hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. Sears donated $70,000 to rebuild the Community Center and Bush’s home, and is providing Kenmore ENERGY STAR qualified appliances including refrigerators, ranges, washers and dryers.

As you know, this weekend is the 4th anniversary of Katrina and Sears has stepped up to continue the rebuild in this area. A smart cause-marketing program as their home appliances sit in the kitchens of many Americans (especially folks in the Gulf region)…and more importantly, it is the right thing to do and certainly well needed in the area. It is a huge help for the community and local families. Other retail stores could learn from this activity.

Baby Bull I am gald you are impressed by SEARS. makes no mention of Archie, Olivia, Eli or Peyton picking up the check............

I dont hate him for supporting his son. I respect that! I do feel that he and his kids could do more for the city from the KAtrina fall out. Others feel differently and I respect that also. I just do not want to see him on TV giving interviews about the Saints or New Orleans when he has essentially sat on his hands during New Orlenas darkest hour. Now that the sun is coming out, he wants to reappear..........

---

Just bc he doesn't publicize it, doesn't mean he doesn't do it. Peyton has a foundation that has given tons of money to NO, he just doesn't publicize it. Both he and Eli came back to help out the week of Katrina.

It's pretty unfair to levy such criticisms when noone knows what they have done.

Find a blue collar member of the Rose Bowl Committee, Cotton Cowl or Fiesta Bowl. This is a pathetic statement. Now go buy a Royal Olds and slap some LAS siding on your house.
