Why do the Mannings sound like they have a Different accent ??

I don't consider Peyton and Eli real, totally authentic, 100 percent Orleanians. I can't totally put my finger on it. Part of it is that the kids are part of the Uptown establishment and went to Newman (see above, and I understand and probably deserve the bashing from Uptowners and Newman grads).

I went to high school with Eli and was several years behind Peyton at Newman. They've always had those accents. They were born in NO and raised in NO and moved away in adulthood, and aside from this trash about you not liking Newman grads and uptowners and "something" not sitting right with you about Peyton, they are every bit as much "New Orleanians" as you could ever claim to be. Archie Manning's home has been New Orleans for decades now and he continues to be one of the most well-recognized and vocal supporters of this city. The Manning family is one of the best friends the city of New Orleans has.

Peyton opting to forego being a "good ole' LSU boy" has exactly nothing to do with how much of a New Orleanian he is.
