shouldn’t have to do that at home. Nor should he make it public. Just get word to the guy and problem solved. The guy will probably be fired.

I don’t know much about Eli or Peyton but Archie was one heck of a QB.

My favorite all time Quarterback is Bart Starr.

Instead of assaulting women and children, Manning partnered with St Vincent hospital in Indy to form Peyton Manning's Children's Hospital at St Vincent.

Since 1998, Peyton Manning has had a public and private relationship with St.Vincent. On Sept. 5, 2007, the former Indianapolis Colts Quarterback reinforced his commitment to the children of Indiana by partnering with St.Vincent to announce the renaming of St.Vincent Children's Hospital to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. Manning remains dedicated to the children of Indiana by promoting health programs and services, fundraising and advocating issues that affect pediatric patients.

too bad he’s a piss poor quarterbck!!!

Peyton is right but no need to fire the guy. Just tell him how it’s done.

BTW, a noisy home crowd is a long-time tradition in football. 12th man and all that.

I thought some Broncos players were being disrespectful by dancing on the sidelines near the end of the game. I also so plenty of handshakes and friendly slaps by opposing players after plays.

Rivers has definitely improved his behavior over time.

[Rodamala]

Having read all that you wrote on what the NFL should do... how about you just turn that garbage off. Screw football.

[cport]

Never ever ever ever HAHAHA...sorry dfw, reliving some wonderful past memories.

The best way to quiet the home crowd is to score on offense and smash em in the mouth when on defense.

Philip Rivers is the son of a HS coach and played for NC State for four wonderful years. IMO, he has never been anything but an outstanding young man, as well as a great QB. While at NCSU, he married his junior high school sweetheart, and, seven children later, they are still married. Some of the Freepers might remember that he was the QB that was drafted by the New York Giants, only to be traded to San Diego for Eli Manning whom the Chargers had taken with the number one pick. He played behind Drew Brees for a couple of years, but then gained the starting job after Brees went to New Orleans. Although Eli is still the starter for New York, I have always thought that New York traded away the better QB because of Philip River's outstanding leadership qualities.

Being a Dallas fan, I would naturally not think much of Eli, but I have always liked Peyton. One of my good friends went to Old Miss with Archie and his now wife and the two women were in the same sorority. She says that they are two of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you would ever want to meet and they raised all three of their sons to be fine, upstanding young men. Although knowing that did make me feel a little more positive toward Eli, I would be happy if he never won another game!

Chief’s fans don’t need the scoreboard operator to tell us when to scream and when to be quiet. We know the game.

He was one tough and great player, no question about it!

Peyton Manning is, so far, the only starting Tennessee Vol qb to have ever lost to the University of Memphis Tigers. That loss cost him the Heisman Trophy that year.

Manning always tries to go for the high ground, I don’t know if he’s really that nice, but he knows to look that way in public.

I liked this about Manning. Both the defensive Denver players and the scoreboard operator were celebrating victory too early, with Denver on the field, and the clock still running. The game was 99% won, but it wasn’t 100% won, and Manning wanted it 100% finished. He was stil fighting till the clock ran out. That’s the attitude needed to win the Championship.

[Zeneta]

Manning is freaking amazing.

They are up by 3 touchdowns and he is still not going to celebrate. I don’t think he will ever celebrate even if he wins the Super Bowl.

He is possessed to always be better. I don’t think we have ever seen anyone like him.

Recently J Thomas said something about “this being so easy”, I assure you that Manning set him straight.

For Peyton, it truly is never over.

Usually Bronco fans are pretty smart too, but they had the defensive players and the scoreboard operator egging them on, and everyone knew, barring an incredible series of spectacular plays, that the Broncos would win at that point. But Manning is a machine, and this is actually a good incident to keep the players focused.

[DugwayDuke]

“Ah, here is a math question for you: Assuming that the crowd would never shut up then how many 15-yard penalties would it take to result in a ‘safety’ or a ‘touchdown’ in the other direction? ;-)”

Once inside the fifteen, the next penalty is to the 5, and the next is a touchdown. There is no kickoff, the ball is placed on the offending teams five yard line, first down. How many touchdowns till the crowd shuts up? Shouldn’t be more than one or two.

Alternatively, I’m not against a noise meter. When the noise exceeds a certain level, play is suspended until it drops below that level and remains there.

[DugwayDuke]

‘You would penalize the team on the field for what a board operator does? How about fining the board operator instead?”

Noise is only a factor for the home team so a penalty on the board operator is no different than a penalty on a member of the coaching staff.
