I've thought for a long time that the Mannings were a group of arrogant athletes that view themselves as better than everyone else. The fact that Who Dat Daddy REFUSED to allow his widdle Eli to play for the San Diego Chargers just emphasized their sense of entitlement. (Though I have to admit that Eli seems much more humble than "The Forehead" and Daddy-M) They, and the media, try to present themselves as these great human beings but watching Peyton walk off the field in a snit just revealed their true character.
As far as "The Greatest Quarterback of ALL TIME", Manning shouldn't even be in consideration. In fact, it takes THREE Mannings to equal ONE Roethlisberger. I would much rather have Big Ben in the clutch than Peyton or Eli and it isn't even CLOSE.
