Peyton "Cry Baby" Manning

Last Sunday when the Colts were playing The Jets, Peyton Manning was taken out of the game. The Colts put in their third string quarterback. Instead of doing the right thing which would have been to give encouragement to the rookie, Manning stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and a puss on his face. I was waiting for him to cry. The rookie wasn't doing that good, Peyton could have given him some advise. That 's the way it works, the older players help the new guys. But no, Manning just stood there like he wanted to cry.
Which brings me to the prima donna, Brett Favre. Two weeks ago the Viking coach wanted to take Favre out of the game. Vikings were losing and Favre wasn't playing well. So to save him for the playoffs, the coach wanted to rest him. Favre, didn't want to come out, so he stayed in. Can you imagine Bart Starr telling Vince Lombardi he's not coming out.
The Viking coach should have pulled a Gil Hodges. He should have called a timeout, then walk out to the field and escort Favre out of the game.

You're grumbling. At least YOUR team made the playoffs. ;-)
