I’m glad he ripped that guy a new one.
My bad. I started things off Wednesday by pointing out the Chargers were 4-1 against the Colts since 2005 and mentioning the teams played another close game in 2004. Given that, I asked Manning if the Chargers had worked their way into being a rival.
He bristled.
“Since ’05, is that a monumental year or something?” Manning said.
Perhaps the question could have been asked more specifically, even succinctly. But when a guy answers the phone as friendly as Mr. Rogers and you admire him as a competitor and figure he’s going to show some respect for a team that has made him look pedestrian a good portion of the time (and you know he knows that), you presume he’s going to be as professional on the phone as he is in his myriad commercials.
