[@brandonstah7232]

Johnny Weaver for the brand

[@davidroberts7282]

@@johnnyweaver9946 McAfee has been a bit annoying and crass since he's become a studio NFL analyst since his retirement, God forbid he comes across as somewhat arrogant and cocky but that still doesn't erase the fact that he's much more entertaining to listen to or enjoy hearing his playing day stories then 80-90% hard mentality of NFL color commentators, NFL Network smartass analysts who use to be ex-players, writers or columnists. McAfee strikes me more as a poor man's Richard Sherman except being less successful and probably nowhere near as intelligent as Sherman is. I mean, loquacious, controversial, Sherman is easily those things but you don't earn a Masters degree from Stanford University in 3 years and are elected Valedictorian of your graduating class if you don't possess a high IQ, a strong work ethic and equally solid personal determination.

David Roberts McAfee is probably on of the last people on the face of the earth that still legitimately loves the game and has passion for it. He loves football, he loves Indy, and he loves being a good ol boy.

@@jcore0981 A team is needed for a championship, not a single player. Tampa Bay is absolutely stacked with the talent it has and Denver was too in that 2015 season. I'm not saying you're wrong however. 2015 Peyton was horrid. However 2013 Peyton was insane. If Denver didn't have such a long injury list before the super bowl, it's very likely that game would've been a lot closer.

I agree. It was very heart warming. That standing ovation was so loud it took 3 days for my ears to stop ringing. To me, what made it even more heart warming was watching Manning's reaction. He was usually so stoic. That night he let his emotions show. Those emotions spoke volumes about his appreciation and love for Indy.
