with probably a minority that wants Peyton foiled because we know we'll hear "Peyton is God" forever if he is not..
This is me. I've never liked the guy, although I'm admittedly biased because of all the crap back in 1997 with Charles Woodson winning "Peyton Manning's Heisman" and the conspiracy to deny Michigan the national championship as revenge from southern coaches.
Peyton is annoying because it's never his fault. Literally, it's never his fault. If his team loses, its because his defense was bad or he didn't have weapons around him (despite all advanced statistic saying he has had defenses equal to Tom Brady's his entire career and much more offensive talent by a large, large margin), but then if his team wins, its all because of Peyton. If his team has a good season, he wins the MVP -- it was all Peyton. If they lose, even if its because of a Peyton INT-fest, it just slides right off him. We all know someone like that in life and its infuriating when people are so Teflon. I think that's why people hated Clinton. (Well, one reason.)
I mean, could you imagine if Tom Brady went out this week and called his kicker a liquored up idiot? We'd crucify him. He'd be public enemy #1. Peyton does it and its hilarious and Peyton is so authentic. People who see no accountability ever annoy me.
