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

Sorry to tangent this, but why don't Americans sound more British? Why do the Australians, Indians, and all of their other colonies have that accent? Even the Canadians have a different sound then we do?

is it the "melting pot" effect?

As for Peyton and Eli, I think the family influence cannot be given a lot of credit, but then add Ole Miss and Tennessee and you get what you hear now.


Another example is US goalkeeper Brad Friedel - he's been living in Blackburn, England for some time and to hear him speak its just painful to the ears. Its not a British accent, its not American, its a make your ear's bleed sound.

Okay just had to ask and add.

Carry on.
