"I'm Going to Drink Plenty of Budweiser. I'll Tell You That!" LOL, what a loser.

Apparently he didn't get paid, but he does own a majority stake in two AB distribution franchises. So he can pretty much make his own advertising deals with himself, hahaha. Whatever, winning quarterback likes some South African beer that pretends to be American.

Anyone read Dethroning the King? Hard to like that company after reading that book. Good read, though.

Oh shut up. just let it go. He can say what he wants.

He sure can, and what he chose to say makes him look like a douche.

Yeah, I felt that saying Budweiser seemed forced.

Just say, I'm gonna get drunk.

Stop making a pitch for something all the time.

I also noticed Papa John right there on the field at the end of the game.

You realize what he was responding to right? 2 seconds after they win and the media shoves a mic in his face and asks if he is going to retire.

Would you rather him say that's a clown question bro?

He's a stand up dude...you can have Cam.

Who really gives an eff about football anyway. Just a bunch of dudes who will go mentally insane later in life from the brain damage and blow all the money they gained from football.

That escalated quickly.

Nice generalization too.

Like I said. Just say I'm gonna get drunk.

You proved the point.

2 seconds after they win and with a mic shoved in his face, the first thing he thinks of is to make an advertisement.

I like him, but come on.

Just have a genuine moment.

Oh man, I like him too (presuming he isn't a doper), which is probably why this bothered me so much.

It's like, of all the things he could say with that entire world listening, he says he is going to drink a bunch of Budweiser. It was just kind of tacky. At least he mentioned kissing his wife.

Even though I watch a crap-ton of professional sports, it is things like this that make me dislike them. I mean, juxtapose last night with the NC State NCAA basketball win from 1983. Which one seems more sincere?

Disclaimer: Yes, I did spend my afternoon watching the Survive and Advance 30for30 yesterday.

You boys can't let go of your man crushes and think clearly. Don't worry, you can still jerk off to your hero and admit that everything he does or says isn't wonderful. Oh wait, I guess you can't.

I'm a Denver and a Peyton fan, and him pushing Bud was obvious and lame. What Newton did was worse. And, even though I really wanted Denver to win, and won money, that game was terrible and both Peytin and Newton were terrible. I was hoping for an epic battle, instead it was a competition to see who could suck the most and still win.

I was thinking that it would have been funny if he had gone over the top for a joke. "I'm going to drink Budweiser, beer of champions. Then I'm going to Disneyland and Southwest Airlines will fly me out there. I'll also be renting a Ford Fusion during my stay at Disneyland." Just cover as many bases as possible to try to get free stuff.

I thought it was hilarious because I often talk beer with my Father-In-Law, who still thinks that Budweiser is an American company. Last night he started going off on how real men like Manning drink a man's beer, Budweiser. FWIW, I was drinking a Foothills Jade IPA, which has a woman on the bottle, so I didn't have much leverage at that time. But then I noticed that he was drinking white wine and I just said, "Yeah but you're drinking white wine. What kind of a man drinks white wine during the Super Bowl." Then we both laughed and I told him he knew shit about beer and he ought to stick to white wine.

Craft beer is for gay/tranny democrats.

Your gay

Nice that he had his priorities in order.

1. Budwiser

2. Thanking God

actually he said "the man upstairs" so maybe he was talking of Pat Bowlen or John Elway. They've paid him a lot of money the past few years.

The OP is the loser. Manning has millions and making millions more. The OP is a troll in some desk job working for peanuts 8-5. On the plus side, an Exeter grad is probably his boss and making our alumni rich.

This, kind of. I don't think he was shilling for Bud; he was genuinely planning on getting plastered with Bud Light. Football people prefer piss beer over good beer, which is commonly referred to as "f@g beer." Why an IPA with an 8% abv would be considered more "gay" than foam water with a 4.2% abv is anyone's best guess.

He was absolutely shilling for Bud. He owns two AB distribution centers with his non-football brother (or maybe a brother-in-law?). Big money in that, plus he probably plans to enter that business and is trying to step foot into it now that football is over. He seems like the kind of guy who loves big corporate chains, so it doesn't really surprise me. Whatever, to each his own. I like stronger beer and good food but I have really good friends who like drinking Beast Light and prefer fast food. I still like them as people. Manning seems like the kind of guy that would get really geared up to go eat wings at Chili's or something. Whatever, good for him.

I don't really care much about the companies, to be honest, but I just have a hard time drinking Budweiser because you need to chug like 4 of them to even get a buzz. That is fine if I am out day-drinking and plan to drink for hours and hours, but if I am out with friends and just want to have 3-4 beers, I want to get a decent buzz.

Budweiser has done a decent hatchet job on the craft beer movement, but the veil is thin. Most of the craft breweries in the USA are hard working, blue-collar men who just make good beer.
