From what I’ve heard of Rivers is that he is a class act and his comments to this were very cool.

To be honest, I think it should be a penalty to try to get the crowd to be ‘loud’ when the opposing team has the ball. Really bothers me when I see that and then when the home team has the ball, the scoreboard tells the fans to be quiet. Not sporting. I would like to see penalties for the rousing the crowd including the board operator and players on the field. Unsportsmanlike and fifteen yards. Repeated as many times as necessary until the crowd shuts up

Peyton Manning has never been anything other than a class act and a winner. Not to mention a Christian and a Republican. His comments here make sense and I’m guessing the operator will either comply or be gone. Maybe Peyton should’ve handled it privately but I’ll forgive. His detractors remind of those with (PDS) Palin derangement syndrome. When I hear or see one, I immediately suspect it’s someone with serious envy issues.

I noticed several times Manning going up to the line and trying to quiet the crowd. I thought “How stupid are these fans?”. Didn’t know the scoreboard operator was getting them riled up. Manning was right for rebuking him,.....or more likely her. :)

We’ll be back after a word from our sponsor and some one will be fired. (probably not PM).

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.

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.

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.

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.
