Thanks to the magic that is YouTube, we’ve been tipped off by a couple of readers to a clip of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning going berserk on several of his offensive linemen while the Indy offense was on the sidelines in a game against the Rams.
The clip includes at the fifteen-second mark a fairly large loogie flying out of Manning’s mouth and landing on his jersey.
Manning eventually is told, forcefully, by left tackle Tarik Glenn to “go sit down.”

This is from an NFLN special where they’re interviewing both guys (Manning and Jeff Saturday). They laughed about it.
This is what happens during a football game. It’s not out of the ordinary. It’s just that nowdays you actually get to see it on TV replays like this. And taken out of context like this.

We’ll take him in Chicago…granted Olin Kruetz would have knocked him unconscious right there but nonetheless we’ll take him here…
I dont see anything wrong with guys being fired up and getting RESULTS, instead of guys like Chad Johnson going off on a teammate only to lose the friggin game and never get back on the same page. Neither one of those guys, Manning or Saturday would trade each other out for anyone else…

Yeah it’s an emotional game and if you go off on a guy during a game it’s not that big of a deal. Anybody that has played the game at any level from high school up knows that those are your brothers out there. You can talk sith to your brothers, you can slap them upside the head, you can fight them from dawn till dusk, you can do “drive you up the wall” stuff like eating your carrots when he eats his carrots, your mashed potatos when he eats his mashed potatos, you can throw cheese at him every time the Packers and Cowboys play because he likes the Pack and you like the Cowboys, you can even put Icy Hot in his jock strap and it puts him in such a rage that you’re so scared that he’s gonna straight-up murder you that you run right into a tree trying to get away from him. But nobody else better try it. At the end of the day he’s still your brother and you still love him like a brother even if you’re not talking to him.
That’s what brothers do. This should not be construed as a tacit admission that I was ever involved in any of that with my four older, real brothers, of course.

I’ll bet Brady yells at the cameramen before games. “F-Stop? You call an F-Stop on a walkthrough like that?!!? Idiot!”

I can totally understand losimg your cool…but I think he went too far. These are his linemen and deserves his respect as much he deserves theirs. The denfense is going to beat the offensie sometimes. They are all professional football players, on both sides of the ball. I love Peyton Manning, but in this case he was disrepectful to his line.

Nemesis,
Don’t you think that Saturday is a slightly more important figure than Manning? Is Manning going to throw the blocks? No.
Face it, Manning or any QB, wouldn’t have a SB ring(s) if it wasn’t for his O-line.

That’s a pretty serious charge, Nemesis. Plausible, though. I think that kind of thing would get a guy benched, though. Looked to me like he heard something he really didn’t like.

I think Saturday has a point. When did the Colts win a ring, not the year he broke the touchdown passing record. Manning has thrown his line under the bus on more then one occasion. You never hear Brady say something after the game.

This is pretty old. I remember watching this same video on NFLN last year when they were highlighting the Colt’s superbowl run. I remember that they had some commentary about how the center had talked the OC into a play or something like that.
Either way, this happens all the time. Football is an emotional game. No big deal.

That is every sideline in every NFL game in America. If you don’t know that then you’ve never played organized sports in your life.
I’d be more concerned if I had a QB that didn’t have the balls to confront a guy if there was a problem.
I’ve seen Dan Koppen and Tom Brady right in each other’s face during a game, and they are best friends, as I’m sure Manning and Saturday are.

Hey, tha sup man - McNabb does yell at his teammates when they don’t do what he wants. Like the time he told TO to STFU in the early Giants game in 04, when according to them both, the wheels began to fall off. That worked out well.

Great clip, and it shows nothing negative about Peyton. Every once in awhile you have to get up and yell at someone to bring you closer together.
It really is nothing new though, I’m sure it happens on every sideline every Sunday.

If you attend football games, you know that this kind of stuff happens all the time. I’ve been on the sidelines for many Packer games walking both sides of the field, and the language from the players and the coaches is quite colorful. TV isolates the average fan from most of the reality of the game.

Get ready to cry like a baby twice a year Manning. If you cry like that over St. Louis, wait until a real team like the Jaguars are spanking you…

Watching Manning back down when Tarik Glenn stood up was hilarious.
That said, it’s nothing new. This happens constantly.

I’m not a Colts fan; but I’ll say this: I only wish that my team’s QB had that kind of fire in him. Peyton’s the leader of that team and he wants to win - end of story. Someone needed a verbal butt kicking and Peyton gave it to them.

This isn’t anything new. When you watch the Colt’s America’s Game episode on the NFN, Peyton and Jeff Saturday talk about the clip. They also say that it’s forgotten about as soon as it’s done.
As for the comments that say Brady wouldn’t do that, watch the NFL Replay game this w/e with the Deadskins and you can here him yell “Are you f__kin’ kidding me?” when one of his lineman gets a false start penalty–when they are leading by 28 points.

Hell… I thought it was kinda funny.
What’s the big deal anyway?
I’d let Peyton Manning yell at me all day long if he wanted.

Its odd how some perceive things.
Some called him a crybaby, some said he backed down to Tarik.
Too bad they were wrong.
He didn’t back down, and he was pissed off due to the TEAMS performance at that point.
Funny thing is they got things in gear and came back to win the game.
Peyton Manning is and has been the best qb in the game of football for a number of years and thats not likely to change anytime soon.
