Should Peyton be fined by the NFL for promoting Budweiser?

Lame

that it accumilates to 3.2 million in free advertising for Budweiser.

The older you get, the less that purpose comes into play.

drinking some warm Budweiser eating my free Chipotle.

Whether it be books, scotch, restraunts (even though olive garden is indeed bad), and beer. Only on BBI can Budwiser, a nation wide top seller be compared to the numerous varieties of the piss available on the market.. The same people that don't drink beer for its buzz.

You can't be serious. McDonalds is also a "nation wide top seller" is that high quality food?

Budweiser is a top seller because it is cheap.

water.

& I'm proud to call myself a beer snob. If I'm drinking beer, it's quality beer, not some beer that college kids use to play flip cup at their frat house.

...does anyone really give a shit about this. This is Milton being Milton, for Christ's sake.

by the time Eli retires...he can win the Championship and endorse another type of Bud... He can go out on a high, literally.

Well done, can't tell if you're trolling.

Can you sing the praises of Dominoes for me now?

I have a nice refreshing cup of piss on ice here for you

Bud light is crap

They are a really good beer so hopefully bud doesn't ruin them. They'll probably keep the same quality for a couple years and then slowly go downhill.

If Peyton violated an NFL policy he should be fined. If Budweiser was a sponsor of the NFL, maybe they put him up to it like the Disney thing. Can you be fined for advertising a product that sponsors the NFL?

I am as much a craft beer guy as anyone but if you are hanging out On vacation and start drinking at 11am at the lake or the beach, you are not drinking IPA's all day. The first sip of an ice cold Bud is still tough to beat

This from a guy whose fridge has 3 diff flavors of Shed, Schmaltz Messiah Nut Brown, Founders Mothers Milk and Browns IPA. I do also have Bud Light in Bottles

In the summer at the lake fridge there is also labatts blue light, Michelob Ultra Amber, Pacifico and the like

It all has a place

He was going to drink Budweiser, eat Doritos and go home and make a Super Bowl baby, he'd have the pro-lifers protesting on his front lawn.

Thought that was a really low rent move by Manning. He doesn't realize how many impressionable young people are watching? Did he really need that money from Bud?

Showing my age. We didn't how good we had it when we had hundreds of independent breweries in this country. I loved Schaefer beer because it was such a mild beer it had a sweet taste to it. Rheingold was more bitter. And there was Knickerbocker, Ballantine Ale, and Piels in the New York metro area when I had my first beers.

Moved to Wisconsin in early 70s. Home to Miller, Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, Gettleman, Old Style, Leinkugels, and Point.

And that's the way it was all around the country. Local breweries and a few beers that were sold nationally. While today we have all these micro-breweries the independent breweries are gone. All of the older beers are simply labels for Coors-Miller and/or Budweiser.

Miller at its peak under Philip Morris ownership slugged it out with Budweiser. The top marketing guy at Miller used to have a Budweiser Rug under his desk so he could stomp on it everyday.

But no more. Accountants run these mega breweries with their umpteen labels with virtual no distinction in taste.

This country now than any time in history, and that includes the time before beer was even an industry.

Not how you want to go out IMO. That said, not sure if it was a league offense.

If he was going to go out pimping bud, it should have been the green kind. THAT would have been a gif for the ages.

Peyton: "I just wanna kick back with some kush and get rocky mountain high tonight! Fuck you, Roger, I retire." [mic drop]

He didn't get any money. He has an ownership interest in the company, I believe, which is why league rules were circumvented. He wasnt directly paid for his promotion, but he hopes to profit from it.

and bash Cam??

Wolfson sounded like she hadn't even watched the game, and was just trying to set up her one money question: "Is this your final game for your career?" Which was stupid, because Peyton obviously wasn't going to answer it, and he was ready with a product-placement response. She could have asked a more open-ended question about the future that gave Manning room to announce his retirement if that's what he was inclined to do. Instead, she asked a graceless, direct question and got the non-answer she deserved.

When CBS went back to the booth, Nance seemed pretty dismissive of the whole exchange. No idea whether he was set off by the way Wolfson asked the question, or the way Manning responded.

The Budweiser plug was tacky, but that's OK - it just leaves more room for Eli to be the classy Manning brother.

It was clearly scripted; just like Cam's celebrations.

own a few bud breweries or distribution centers?

He has a stake in Bud distribution centers. While the product placement was a savvy guerilla marketing tactic, it was very tacky and yeah, he will probably be receiving a fine for violating the alcohol sponsorship rules for players.

1) It's not a question of whether you are bothered by it. There is a clear rule prohibiting active players from advertising alcoholic beverages. If his supposed free shilling of Bud falls into this category, then he should be fined 2 times.

2) Personally, I just think it was embarrassing.

he cheapens what should have been a great moment. I lost a lot of respect for him. I can't see Eli doing something like that. It was cringe worthy.

a hole in one

Just because you don't like one of them (IPA) doesn't make them swill. It just means you don't like them. It's like say T. Monk sucks because you don't like jazz.


Should he be fined? if it's against the rules, then yes. but they won't because he is currently the golden boy of football.

If only that were the case... Eli's answer was even worse.

I can't believe this is something that people are legitimately incensed about or even care about at all.
