Wasn’t thinking to realize the Rivers reference wasn’t to the scoreboard operator. Yeah, probably disrespectful, but I’d presume what Manning really wanted was for the operator not to gin up noise at the wrong time for the Broncos’ play.
Yeah, that is what I got out of it. It probably screws Manning up more than most QBs to not be able to audible easily.
Yeah it was two incidents. He was asked about the scoreboard having the crowd make noise when the offense had the ball. Then he went on to say he thought it was rude of the scoreboard guys to put up pictures of the other team on the sideline to get people to boo. Manning always tries to go for the high ground, I don’t know if he’s really that nice, but he knows to look that way in public.
