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.”

If this video does something to prevent Manning from showing up on a commercial every 5 seconds this fall, I like it. Otherwise, it’s novelty.

There’s one thing that the comments to this clip proves: Colts v. Patriots is the best rivalry in the National Football League.

That stuff happens all the time in the NFL, it’s heat of the moment stuff and football is an emotional game. You see it on the sidelines all the time. Bill Parcells and Phil Simms used to get into screaming matches on the sidelines weekly during their time with the Giants. In training camp, there are reports of little fights and shouting matches every day. They are trying to win a game and laugh about it on Tuesday if they win. It takes a few more days if they lose.
a correction to someone’s above statement. Only 28 other team would want Peyton, not the Bears - Rex Grossman IS their quarterback. Lovie Smith said so.

Thank you everybody who keeps attacking Manning, you’re making me laugh hysterically.
God forbid the guy gets passionate about the game.
Ya’ll are a bunch of idiots, I swear.

What did you expect? This is typical Manning…yelling and blaming everyone else. WAHHHHH
And YES, Brady does throw the F bomb around allot and has fits on the sidelines too. This is football not Ping Pong…

That…was…the…greatest Peyton Manning moment ever. I love to see him getting in their faces. Fouts was great at that too. All of the great QBs do this. It’s awesome to get a sample of it.

Peyton Manning won me first place in my fantasy league last year. His numbers weren’t what Brady’s were, but he’s solid as a rock, so consistent.
In response to the video clip, I’m actually a little glad to see it from Peyton - I was beginning to believe he was as happy-go-lucky in real life as he looks on TV. You go, Peyton!

As an Eagles fan, I would love to have a QB who cares enough to get in someone’s face.
Manning comes off well, as does Glenn.

The Colts won the Super Bowl with a drooling QB and a RB that pees his pants.

All great QB’s do this is not a great argument for this particular situation. The last thing anyone want is a QB who shows that kind of negative emotion. A QB is supposed to be a leader on the field. They are supposed to accept responsibility for their mistakes. I see constantly, when a QB gets visibily upset on the field, a commentator will make a comment about how it’s a mistake. Well, why not Peyton Manning, or is he infallible?? Of course Saturday and Manning will laugh it off now, but if they were losing, this did nothing to improve the situation.

Remember that these are not normal people. They’re athletes. They get hit in the head a lot. They get pampered in high school and college. They get paid millions to provide entertainment. I doubt there is a single well-adjusted person in the NFL.
