No name in professional sports invokes my fury like the name Peyton Manning. This is not fortunate, because when I watch a game with this man in it, his name is mentioned well over 100 times in the course of the event. The number of times his name is said is easy 10 to 1 to any other quarter back with whom he is matched, even if the other one's skill greatly out matches his own. The other day I was watching his match up, I mean the Colt's match up (excuse me), against the Patriots. Over the course of the game I heard his name mentioned at least once per minute. On the other hand, Tom Brady, who was quarter back for the Patriots during all 3 of their recent Superbowl wins, was barely acknowledged.
When the announcers weren't chanting the name of this god of athletes, the camera would show him sitting on the side lines. I was wanting to watch the clashing of two AFC armies, but apparently the rest of the viewers were watching to see whether Manning was happy, sad, or mad while he was standing on the side line. The loyal worshippers of Manning even got a replay of his family's reactions to a few of his touchdowns, I mean the Colts' touchdowns (excuse me). I guess Tom Brady, who actually had to use his talent and skill to be a pro, will never get the recognition he deserves because of guys like Manning who only amount to what they do because of their name and connections. I seriously wonder why Manning didn't run for president, he certainly has the credentials!
Glamour boys who disguise themselves as football players grind my gears.
