Peyton's not so bad...

I don't understand why everyone seems to hate Peyton Manning. Personally I submit that we Colts fans should have exclusive rights to hating him (at least in short bursts as I do).

Reasons for the average fan to not hate Peyton:

• Peyton's dad was an NFL QB, true. But he also sucked, and we can all relate to being forced to play a sport simply because our dad played it, just so he can have a chance to win vicariously. And while it would be awesome to have a NFL QB dad nowadays, back then it did not mean you were uber-rich, as seen by the home footage of Peyton's tiny yard and house.
• Look at him, he's not going to be doing too many Abercrombie ads. Personally I would much rather hate Tom Brady and his never-ending list of celebrity girls than Peyton. I like to know that if we were ever in the same room at least I could think, "he might be rich and famous, but at least I don't look like that."
• He's never won anything. He's reaching legendary status as a great QB who can't win the big game. Why would the average fan hate a QB that makes them think, "well at least we can count on Peyton crapping himself," everytime their team plays the Colts in a meaningful game? I mean honestly, whose team thinks they have no chance when Peyton and the Colts roll in during playoff time?
• Yes, his ads are on all the time, but he doesn't really control that. And hey, it's not like he's out there portraying himself as anything other than a doofus. Nobody at home goes, "damn that guy's cool," after seeing one of them. And at least we haven't seen his mom yet, either.
• All we really know about his music tastes is that he loves Kenny Chesney and country music. That's a reason to pity him, not hate him.
• Did I mention he loses a lot of important games? Fuck that's annoying. I mean seriously, every year is a goddamn tease.
• He works really hard, I guess you can hate him for having a good work ethic, seems more like jealousy though. I mean, if you've ever see him run, he makes it pretty obvious that raw athleticism isn't the a requirement for becoming a superstar.
• He's always trying to make these "intelligent" plays like when he sees someone being interfered and throws at them knowing they won't catch the ball and then if there's no penalty called we just wasted a play. Fuck, I hate that too.
• I mentioned that he's never won anything right? No national titles, no high school championships, no Super Bowls, (I guess a couple of Pro Bowls, whatever that's worth). I mean why hate a guy who doesn't play for your team who can't win a big one?
• Fuck it, I hate him. No, I don't. Yes, I do. Goddamn it why can't you just sack up and play well in one goddamn playoff game. Now I've got to sit around and hope our defense that made sieves look like vacuum capsules plays so well that we can overcome the fact that you get nervous everytime the "Lighting round" comes up on Family Feud. I mean Fuck, will I ever get to win anything as a fan? (no) Fucking Indianapolis and it's fucking tease teams that always are good enough to make the playoffs but can never just play well enough to win the whole thing. I mean goddamn it if the Bears somehow win a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman, Mister -12 fantasy points himself, I don't know what I will do to myself.
• Fuck off, lists over I don't even remember what it started about.
