OT: How do you feel about Peyton Manning?

[Durks07]

Pats fan: Glad his career didn't end with the neck injury, not happy he's kept us out of two additional super bowls. Respect the hell out of him (but not when he plays the pats ).

Also, the United Way commercial sketch on SNL might be the best moment of his career.

We just started winning championships in 2002. Talk about crybabies.

What is this "We" stuff? You're a consumer not a player.

I know, I can live with that.

Sounding like this is going to be Manning's last game.

He sure has a lot of respect for Belichick.

Of course they are--that's why absolutely no NFL investigation of any real import came about after the Manning allegations. There's no way that at least 50% of the league isn't on HGH, and any bit of attention and/or digging would bring that to the surface. The worst thing the MLB ever did was confront steroid issues--10 years later you've got a dying sport. I'll never be interested in baseball after growing up watching players routinely hit 55-60 bombs and now having to settle for pitcher's duels and small ball. Likewise, the NFL knows that a) performance enhancers will do just that--create a better on-field product and b) any sort of performance related scandal is massively damaging to a sport's appeal. That's just my two sense, I'm sure there are some people who would hugely disagree with me, but I see the NFL as looking back at baseball's recent history and downfall and making sure that they don't face the same fate.

But Manning is under investigation by the NFL.
