| Post subject: | "Goober" Manning |
I heard Dan refer to Peyton Manning as "Goober" Manning again and I've never been sure why he insists on doing so. When I think of a "goober" I think of an inarticulate hick, and in all the commercials or TV appearances (SNL) I've seen him in, he's struck me as anything but. Goober on The Andy Griffith Show was regarded as the village idiot and Payton doesn't strike me as that, either. What am I missing, or does calling someone a "goober" mean something that isn't derogatory? |

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never thought of Eli as the cooler brother. He always seemed like the goober with no personality, whereas Peyton at least made the goober into a successful media image. |

"Cut that meat" and the SNL clip are not Goober-worthy. Do you see Manning saying "Wrigley Stadium" during the Seventh-Inning Stretch? That's Goober-worthy. |

i am just glad that we belong to the totally un-dorky world of message board posters, so we can freely label successful professional athletes as "dorks". |

It was the only nickname that Mac could come up with. Everyone needs an insulting nickname at the frat house. Let's go keg tossing. |

In an interview Archie Manning had with Dan Patrick a few years ago when D.P. & Mac were at ESPN Radio, I heard Archie refer to Peyton as "Longneck". Why I'm not sure...

Ok to you and all the people who are saying..."Id be that goober" He's probably a dork by any standards, but by athlete standards he certainly is. He might be the greatest QB of all time. Bill Gates might be the greatest business man of all time. Both still dorks. |

But that doesn't change the fact as a pseudo-celebrity he should be doing much better. |

Even if I was doesnt change the fact that Peyton is a dork. |
