Does Charles and Bowe and other Chief players seeking Peyton's autograph bother you?
http://deadspin.com/5963465/jamaal-c...ium=socialflow
Jamaal Charles Waited Around for Peyton Manning’s Autograph After Losing To Peyton Manning Sean Newell According to Neal Jones of KCTV-5, Dwayne Bowe also got in on the action and posed for some pictures with Manning following Kansas City's 17-9 loss to the Broncos. And he actually made some sense. When cameras caught the two Chiefs stars milling around for Manning, it was a goofy bit of video—which you can see below. While Jamaal Charles was clearly embarrassed and tried to play it off like his mom wanted the autograph, Bowe leveled with us. Bowe: "It's a legend, I guess. It's Peyton Manning. Who wouldn't want a picture with him? If you had an opportunity, would you take it?"Yes, autographs and the like are weird, and adults asking for them are even weirder, but there is something that makes sense when it's one colleague acknowledging and appreciating the skill of another. KCTV 5 Or you could get angry because these guys aren't suicidal after a loss. Jamaal Charles asked for Peyton Manning's autograph [Arrowhead Pride] |

Fans expecting players to be emotionally invested in the team the same way there are just don't get it. The modern NFL and it's financial framework just don't allow for it. Players are constantly on the move. Even once-in-a-generation players move to different teams, which was unthinkable even a few years ago. Just ask Peyton Manning. |

If you're a person who has a problem with players asking another for a autograph, then you must also have a problem when the players yuck it up with one another once the game is over.
It doesn't matter to me. As long as they play hard, I'm good. I don't need them to hate one another. |

The NFL is becoming an "exhibition league" just like the NBA, folks.

I'm not outraged, but I don't like it.

It doesn't bother me, but think of it this way:
If they want his autograph, they pretty much admit that Peyton is bigger than them and their team. How are they going to win a game against him with that kind of mentality? |

It sends a message that they hate the organization for not getting Manning. They probably feel that they are a better surrounding cast than what the Broncos were able to offer Manning and they are pissed they have to dive for passes from Cassel and Quinn instead of being hit in stride by Manning. Doesn't bother me. Like I said in the other thread, there are no defensive players doing this that we see. They would be the ones you don't want to see doing this.
