Right after the game, Manning went off like a kid whose all-day sucker was grabbed away from him. Blamed the whole thing on "protection." It was a real "quickie," so I can understand that you missed it. Both my sons saw it, though, so I'm NOT imagining things.
Later on, he tried to brush it off, saying he was misquoted. That's BULLSH*T! I heard what he said. Thing is, even if he was right --- and I think he WAS --- he was wrong for saying it in public!
I've thought for a long time he'd end up being the NFL's greatest quarterback. The boy will never make it if he keeps crapping on his teammates...and THEN denying he did it.
If I made a bad call and the instant replay showed it was bad and I got overruled, I would be glad to change it. I've made calls that I wasn't sure of, but I had to call something. We got the technology, so let's use it. Maybe someday. No, I'm not petulant about the outcome of the game. I really couldn't care less who won.
I'm not goofing, I'm with Lathan. I didn't think R'berger got the ball over...The Seahawks had a touchdown stolen, There was no more holding on the play that got called back from 2 than there was on that fluke the fat kid from Ohio threw after he steped on the line of scrimmage and Hasselbeck wasn't blocking he was tackeling. And what referee do think is gonna stick his head in the black box...I wonder if there really is a monitor in there anyway...and come back out there and tell 80,000 people, whoops I and or my best buddies screwed up?
So there maybe I'm half fast too, but I'm in good company.
I think football's got too many rules anyway. I used to watch Australian football. Now, they've got it right! No rules, just beat the crap out of the enemy, take the ball away and run with it. If you get boxed in, just punt at a full run. Australian football players have got to be the toughest, most in shape athletes in the world.
Yea I think all those Aussies actually grew up in Dairyland and on Twin St. where the game of choice was "Tackle the man with the football" and it didn't matter if your fast was half or whole...it WOULD get tackled.

And now guys are flying into the endzone with the ball out stretched when there's nobody within 20 yards of him...makes you wanna puke.
I just figured out what Lathan was talking about(I'm know I'm leaving ol' Jim an opening here)... that Repeating business.....I'm still trying to figure out how that happened..I musta dropped off or something.
