Did Manning go too far self promoting in post game?

    I have heard a couple talking heads, most recently on ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, questioning Peyton Manning kissing Poppa John in the post game, Peyton owns a large number of Poppa John Franchises (IP can reveal how many). They also remarked about him mentioning drinking Budweiser twice, owns two Bud distributors.

    They likened it to leading to become like NASCAR where a winning driver exits the car and recites a long list of sponsors. What do you think? Something to be concerned about or much ado over nothing?

    After the gushing on CBS, there was bound to be a backlash.

    To me, if you win, you can promote whoever the hell you want.

    Question back home is home many children's lives did he ruin by saying he was going to drink beer.

    Dead serious.

    I've heard some people complain about him saying that and then thanking God.

    Oh no a guy famous for being charitable might make some extra money. The horror.

    Nothing he can do is any more embarrassing than Montana getting run over in full gear by a bunch of female shoppers

    I wonder if moms are going to start writing "letters to Peyton" in the newspaper about how his actions are ruining kids' lives everywhere.

    Took him up a notch in my book, but I've been known to listen to a little gospel bluegrass while holding a beer.

    I meant to add a similar question, also does Manning's "Public Persona" suffer by his comment?

    I'm not a fan of Budweiser but I thought it was funny.
