why is everyone mad at Manning?

Because someone with the Chargers organization leaked inside information that's usually kept under wraps.

Let me correct vigilante as he is leading you astray by not telling the whole story.

The reason everyone is dogging Manning is because his fathe, Archie Manning, came out and said that he did not want Eli playing for the Charger's because he had played for a bad team and didn't want his little boy to go through that. San Diego then "leaked" that they wanted Phillip rivers anyway

After the trade of barbs between daddy and the Chargers got things going it was reported that Eli then told the Charger's he would Sit Out the entire season if they drafted him.

The Charger's then decided to make little Eli sweat it out by Drafting him anyway. Then after the NY Giants drafted Phillip Rivers (The guy SD really wanted), the Chargers then completed Raped the Giants by trading them Eli (And the unbelievably high salary he will demand) for Rivers, the Giants 3rd pick this year, the Giants FIRST ROUND next year, and the Giants 5th round Next year.

I have observed over the years that New York sports fans seem to enjoy hating players and look for any reason to do so. I don't know why.

They got a quarterback they really want, and who really wants to play for them.

Now they are ginning up reasons to hate him. Most of the country will never understand New York sports except to dislike them.

Maybe it comes with the cynicism of living in a liberal Mecca.
