- The only problem I have with the Mannings is the shenanigans that Archie pulled when Eli was drafted by San Diego- it was bad for the league, bad for the game of football and and extremely manipulative, IMO. Anyway, I'd be willing to bet that Ei wishes he were in SD now, with a better team and less media glare. Be that as it may, I still like Archie- he was like Bear Bryant, Elvis and Jesus Christ all rolled into one for me growing up in NOLA. And I think Peyton is a great representative and ambassador for the city of New Orleans; I will be rooting for him tomorrow.
