Archie Manning

Pitt thrived well after passing on Paterno's idea, which failed for many reasons. That is not why the program is a mess despite the false narrative spread by Paterno and his disciples.

Paterno's inability to get past Pitt not kissing his ass played a big role in killing what was a great rivalry. Penn State's arrogance killed it, too. They wanted two games in State College for every one in Pittsburgh, which was never going to fly. It was the same arrogance that led to the institutional failure that was the Sandusky situation.

I write all this as someone who grew up a Penn State fan. I used to buy into the narrative about the goodness and greatness of Joe Paterno. Then I grew up.

 

Again I said in so many words you see said that. And chill with your keyboard anger. Go fishing, play the banjo for the day or something

 

I'm not crowning anybody I just said Denver thinks they got their franchise QB, I never said he was elite .

 

Ok, then I misunderstood you, and I apologize.

 

Although I like their team and think they can win that division over Kansas City.

 

Part of what you listed here is actually correct

But not a lot

 

I always liked JoPa....
I know a story very well about an opposing QB who got knocked out on the sideline at Joe's feet.
It was the end of the QB's career.
Joe said some encouraging words to the player as he was carted off the field.
I really hated that mess that happened. Really, really hated it.

 

6 pages (sort of) about "Archie" Manning in the Steelers section but "Betting on the Steelers" sits in the general NFL section. Costanza!
