T_O_Bull Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 A great weekend of college basketball 52 games in 6 days. Upsets, close games down to the wire, only a few blowouts. Now its Monday and what are the talking heads blabering about? F'n Peyton Manning. He's worse than FaV- ra. What an attention whore. T_O_B G>B>R Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The front page of ESPN doesn't even have one article on Peyton. I'm not sure where you're looking but I haven't seen anything about him today. As far as I'm concerned, it's similar to a TV or radio station, if you don't like what's on, change the channel. 2 Quote Link to comment

T_O_B G>B>R I think the difference here is Manning isn't orchestrating his over exposure, this is all on the sports media. I'm more pissed that NBC decided to switch to a nothing golf tournament instead of keeping the glorious Flyers defeat of Pittsburgh in overtime... Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm not a big fan of Manning, but I can't really see how he would handle this situation any better. But way to start yet another thread with a subject line that give no hint whatsoever as to the topic. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stu Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 NFL trumps every other sport when it comes to ESPN and overall fan base. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Manning is just jealous cause brother Eli already accomplished more at qb than he has. I'd still take Peyton Manning over Eli Manning, if given the choice. The Favre and Manning situations are very different, imho. Manning was released from the franchise he'd devoted his entire adult life to, and he still has at least three years left in his career. Although I think the Colts ultimately made the right decision in the long run, Manning didn't retire and then flip-flop his decision like Favre. I also don't think Manning has drawn near the attention Favre did, but I honestly haven't been following the situation that closely. And I have to agree with Stu - the NFL is the most popular sport in America, and it rightly gets the attention it deserves. Although many news organizations, specifically ESPN, sensationalize and take things over the top, there are millions of people who eat it up. The fact that the Manning situation is garnering this much attention isn't a surprise - he's one of the best (if not the best) quarterback still. 1 Quote Link to comment
