Heard Archie's comments on the radio today. I think he said something like, "Never in my wildest dreams!"

Referring back to an earlier post, I didn't see any cut-a-ways to Archie last night either. Surely he was at the game. I was wondering why he was not in the box with Peyton.

Don't you know that he feels sick as CRAP now that his sons have both won a Super Bowl and he hasn't. :puke:

From what I've gathered reading Hogville, the outcome most people here want would be for Petrino and Gus to meet in midfield and then just run really fast at each other, causing them to fuze into a single coaching entity: Bobbus Petrahn.

Fear the Bobbus.

Btw, Archie gets so worked up at games that he usually is sick to his stomach watching his sons. If you watched the Packers game, you'd have saw that. He didn't go to the superbowl because he didn't think he could have handled the emotional rollercoaster two years in a row. Peyton was there as you all saw. Now, who wants to wager Peyton was happier for Eli than himself last year? I'd put money on that.

You are kidding! He really couldn't stand the stress? I know I was covering my eyes on the last drive so maybe Archie chose wisely!

They interviewed Archie after the Super Bowl and Peyton was standing right there behind him.  They never showed during the game but maybe he was just laying low which is hard to believe but he was there.

It's beyond ludicrous to even consider that Archie felt like crap after seeing a second son in a row win the Super Bowl.

The elation of a proud father is incalculable. (An aside: Eli, whom I had dismissed as a bust, was truly a hero in the 4th quarter. Glory and redemption are his.)

Here, to borrow a well-tortured phrase from Wally Hall, is how Archie must have felt inside: Every organ was swelling with pride.

Anyone who is a parent knows the answer to this. A basic parental instict is to want your children to do more in life
than you did. I can gurantee Archie is happier tonight than he could have ever been by winning a superbowl himself.

  Maybe if Arch had played for someone other than the "AINTS" ,Oilers or Vikes back then he may have won one himself.But it is refreshing to see that there is still a place  in the spotlight for good, wholesome, milk-drinking clean cut familytype people in this world.It proves that you don't have to be a thug to be successful.

Eli's best play of the game was type play that made Archie famous back in his days at Ole Miss.  Archie could throw from the scramble better than anybody of his time.

I don't think that Archie was in Fran Tarkenton's cass. Tarkington made the word "scramble" famous.

Tarkenton, Fran (Francis Asbury Tarkenton), 1940–, American football player, b. Richmond. One of football's greatest passing quarterbacks, he established lifetime records (all surpassed by Dan Marino Marino,  in 1995) for most completions (3,686), most yards gained passing (47,003), and most touchdown passes (342) during his career with the Minnesota Vikings (1961–66, 1972–78) and New York Giants (1967–71).

I think Archie was the best college quarterback of all time, he was unbelievable scrambling and throwing the ball on the run...he scrambled all over the field against a good ARkansas defense in the Sugar Bowl...he got stuck on lousy pro teams....but he is a class act for sure

I sure agree with this one.

As an aside, although Archie was a great quarterback, he spent half his career flat on his back because the Saints could never put a line in front of him that could keep the defense off of him.  I have often wondered what he could have done with a solid O line.


Archie was a sidearm passer which negated his 6'3" height.He was never a polished passer like Peyton. Most of his completions were to his backs. What teams in Archie's era would give up their QBs for him?

Archie could throw it from anywhere...he was a GREAT passer.

Manning played for the Saints for ten full seasons, none of them winning. In 1972 he led the league in pass attempts and completions, and led the NFC in passing yards, though the team's record was only 2-11-1. In 1978, he was named the NFC Player Of The Year by UPI after leading the Saints to a 7-9 record. That same year, Archie was also named All-NFC by both the UPI and The Sporting News.

Manning was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1978 and 1979

Right on! He also would have traded every pass he ever completed.

He is just all sick over it I bet.

As much as I dislike ole piss and any one that went there, the Manning family is a class group. Eli did sort of stray from the group his first year or so at o.p., but who wouldn't?

It's evident that you don't know much about Archie.  He was one of the toughest College Qb's ever.  Played with a broke arm in a cast while at Ole Miss. He never had any decent help with the Saints (Aints) while in New Orleans, yet he had some good numbers. Finished out his NFL time with the Vikings backing up Kramer and Wilson. He's proud of his boys! Two Superbowl Qb Champs in one Family is something special.

The irony, and the old guys will remember this, I"m not sure Archie wasn't really the most talented Manning of all.

Anyone who ever chased Archie all over the field and before you could catch him rifle a sidearm
bullet to a wide open receiver somewhere 60 yards downfield will testify that Archie was indeed
the best of the three Mannings who played in the NFL . However according to no less an authority
than Archie himself the best of the bunch was former Ole Miss quarterback Cooper Manning his
oldest son whose career was cut short by a spinal cord injury in 1993. Archie,Peyrton, and Eli
will all tell you Cooper was the best of the lot. As for Archie being sick about his two sons
winning Super Bowls and not winning one himself have never met much less known Archie Who.

I think Cooper was a WR., but your post is dead on.

Lord knows the poor guy had to scramble.  He had NO help for a decade at New Orleans.  He wasn't a quarterback, he was a martyr.  I'm amazed that he isn't in the same condition as Muhammed Ali or Jerry Quarry.  The poor guy spent his career looking out his ear hole.  Bravest QB of his era.

Cooper was a WR, he was selected to the LA all state team and recruited by TX, OM and others. He never played college football due to back problems.

Cooper was the weakest Manning. He was not highly recruited. He went to Ole Miss on name alone. Quality guy but not that good of a player.

Cooper Archibald Manning, Archie's oldest son, was born in 1974. The only Manning brother not playing professional football, he was a standout wide receiver at the Isidore Newman School. During his senior year he was selected to the all-state team, the same season his brother Peyton started at quarterback as a sophomore.

Cooper was heavily recruited by Division I schools Texas, Virginia and Ole Miss, but was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 1992, thus ending his football career.

As far as Archie not being on tv much during the game, he probably had a truckload of money bet on the under for the number of times Archie Manning would be shown on tv. I believe that was one of the crazy things to bet on for the SB.

In '78 and '79 Manning threw flares to Muncie and Galbreath. Joe Ferguson was a better pure passer than Archie. Joe and Bert were sacked more too! Name a NFL team during Archie's era that would trade their QB for Manning.
