How about the fans who gave him a standing ovation:

The NFL is putting their heads in the sand about it, which is why you found a video titled "Featured - Was Manning Pass a Lateral" showing the play in question on an NFL website.

Manning left that game at halftime up 31-0 having thrown for 266 yards (259 if we accept your premise). I'm pretty sure if he gave a fuck he could have obliterated the record. Don't be that guy.

Who gives a shit about that?

I went to a Chiefs game a few years ago and sat in the upper deck with my buddy and his parents, who are the nicest, most charitable people you will ever meet, and they neither drink or swear. Naturally, sitting next to us was an old guy in a 90s era Chiefs Starter jacket and his daughter, totally hammered out of…

Well, not really.

Oh, so that's what that coked-up thing with Andrews was. Just an honest guy tellin' it like it is. My mistake.

It can't be called arrogance when the talk's backed up.

The game was over. Save your stale, old-fart whining about "class." It can't be called arrogance when the talk's backed up.

Still way the fuck less painful than a year ago. Always respected Peyton & I hope they make it a good game in a couple of weeks. I don't mind losing to Peyton (even throwing to Welker) even half as much as Eli or fucking Ray Lewis. That was the goddamn worst; this was a special bonus three weeks of football to care…

Yeah, the thing is...that sentiment (Fire Bellycheck!) is what you get from the typical mongo calling in to Sports Talk Radio.

Except they went to a couple of other SBs, and they're consistently in the playoffs. Christ they nearly went undefeated in 07. There aren't too many other combos who consistently perform at that level in the NFL, regardless of how long they've been together.

This is pretty retarded, even for Deadspin commenters. NE had a boat-load of injuries this year, not to mention a TE awaiting murder charges. BB probably did his best coaching job in many seasons, and the team basically overachieved.

Are you a terrorist?

There's nothing remotely close to supplanting the NFL specifically or football in general. In fact, I'd say — even without checking TV ratings or anything — that the gap between football and any other sport is probably widening.

A grown man whose mom still brings him soup in the locker room demands constant attention? Color me shocked!

You DO realize he landed on a person and sent them to the hospital, right?

Did Amar'e expect Peyton Siva to immediately chuck up a three and ignore the wide open lane

Hmmmmm..... maybe Donovan McNabb did deserve TO after all.
