Peyton Manning’s plea for the Olympic brass to allow football as a sport is just ridiculous. I, for one, want no part of watching a place like France or Jamaica trying to field a football team. I, for one, want no part of watching an American football teal lose to Canada in the Olympics.
But Manning has an ego. Manning wants a gold medal. I don’t really care what he wants. What we have here is a proposal that would never work. Not only would there not be enough teams, there wouldn’t be enough competition. And no one wants to deal with the embarrassment of ever losing a pro football game to an Olympic team from Belgium, or even worse, the Cayman Islands.
But, here’s Manning’s spin on the issue. By posting it, I get a $20 Eastbay gift certificate, so call me a lame-ster. I don’t care. At least I get to trash Peyton.
