Manning Mania

It looks like everyone has missed the Brett Favre drama. Many people are doing the same type of garbage with Peyton Manning. Everyone with a voice is reading between each line uttered by Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay and Manning. Will he remain with the Colts? No one seems to be able to wait until a decision is actually made by the team and/or player. A San Francisco Chronicle writer jumped into the swamp by listing the pros and cons of the 49ers signing Peyton Manning. The Boston Globe is likely in a lather over having Manning and Tom Brady throwing the ball for the Patriots. Its ridiculous. With the Super Bowl in a week I would think that there's more interesting, more important news, actual news to cover. The other Manning should be trending more. The Pro Bowl usually provides no significant news yet its more real than anything coming from the Peyton Manning excess.

I just don't understand the great need to manufacture drama. The media made everything worse with Favre. So much was made of his waffling. The media followed and drooled over every single waffle. They made the whole thing worse. Whether or not Peyton Manning is playing for the Colts in 2012 shouldn't even be a story right now. Maybe in a month but its not right now. Its actually tampering for any team to do what the media is doing. It should be tampering for the media too. All its doing now is wasting my time. I could be writing about the performances of Jared Allen and Chad Greenway in the Pro Bowl, the Vikings free agents, the NFL Draft, the Hall of Fame. Hell, even that game coming up next Sunday.
