Some people's egos get the better of them--someone (New England?) REALLY wanted to sign him as a TE (or wide-out--can't remember which; my assistant @ work could tell you), but he absolutely refused to sign w/anyone other than as QB. Silly--to me it meant he obviously didn't really want to play. Now he's got some crap-ass commentator job? It's a living but he could've done 7-8 yrs., retired wealthy assuming he produced, THEN taken a slightly-less-crap-ass-commentator-job.
So I agree he WAS interesting for about 5 mins., but when people tank like that publicly, and then make decisions which again, not only aren't all that smart long-term, but do it publicly too, I think, "Holy CRAP! I'm not the only one everyone can hold up as an 'object lesson'! NICE!"
I'm also a big Peyton Manning fan although that does NOT mean I always, or even often, pull for the Broncos. I do think John Elway is a VERY smart guy however. It's like that: my teams & my favorite QB's never match. My all-time fave? Donovan McNabb. Do I HATE Philly? Yes...
