Watch him when someone misses an assignment or runs a bad route. He does the eye roll thing enough to be noticeable.
As bad as Peyton? Maybe like great players generally make lousy managers or coaches, they also expect much more than they get from non-great players, and react. If I were playing in the NFL, I think I'd rather play with Aaron than probably just one other QB. But, I'll look out for the eye rolling and stuff.

Freeney is banging Ashley Manning on the side, right? He was dead in the water the past 3 years.

Peyton's is much worse because he does the eye roll and stuff even when the mistake is his fault.

How many bench clearing brawls have there been in football?
Ok, the 22 guys on the field then. Player 1 taunts Player 2, Player 2 (or teammate) pushes back and it escalates into a big pigpile and the ensuing delays drag the game time beyond its scheduled tv network window.

Impossible to know, but it seems like it's more a college thing, though we almost had one with Redskins/Ravens in the preseason this season. Baylor/Texas this year, and then of course you can't forget this:

Aside from bench-clearing brawls, I would assume it's a marketing thing. 300 pound linemen crushing the skulls of running backs is part of the game. Unamerican unsportsmanlike and ungracious conduct--especially by Big Scary Negroes--is bad for advertising rates.

The fact that it's always a dead ball foul tells you how seriously they really take it.

I wonder if that's a bad route. The INT was right beyond the line needed for the first down. Perhaps the receiver overran?
They never showed a better replay, on the first it did look like it was tipped at the line? Maybe someone with DVR got a better view

how much longer can the narrative from all sorts of football pundits this year that Aaron is the best QB in the league be sustained ?
You remember how Brady looked without Edelman? Rodgers doesn't have a Gronk and he's missing two of his best WR's.
