He really should not have made that comment. It marred an otherwise fine post game commentary.

Why? He wasn't getting paid to say it. Not like is lacking in endorsements so I doubt he was jockeying position to get one. Maybe he just really wanted a Budweiser or 3 to celebrate.

I was disappointed he felt the need to say that (unless his team benefitted from him saying it and he did it for them).

I don't follow the logic? Did it hurt his team to say if?

Peyton put it all into the proper perspective for a Tennessean,"I'm going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight" I've said that for 50 years.Damn straight,Peyton!

He didn't get a check, directly, no. But I'm thinking there must have been some kind of reason for him to mention a particular brand.

If not, and he spontaneously said it because he likes it, I withdraw most of my criticism, though it was still kind of an awkward moment to say that.

In the first interview, when he said "I'm gonna drink a lot of Budweiser tonight" I wondered if he was getting paid for it. In the second interview, when he was essentially rehashing the first, he said "I'm gonna drink a lot of beer tonight" and then quickly added "- Budweiser -". Then I was sure he got paid for it.

Not bashing him -- I had no problem with it at all. I wasn't thinking about rules or whatnot, and thought it akin to the Disney thing, but it played way too purposeful to be spontaneous. Who knows, maybe it could have been a wink-wink-nudge-nudge deal where they said give us a shout-out and we'll dump a big chunk of change into your foundation or something.


Edit: I completely missed the posts regarding his ownership interests in AB distributorships before. That would be it then, not payment. If you're PM and you just won the Super Bowl, you can hand yourself a few million dollars in advertising for free just by saying a few words.

Here's what I don't get--he lives in Colorado where pot is legal and he owns twenty something franchises of papa johns there, and he wants people to drink beer?!

He's referenced Budweiser before in a post game AFC divisional win press conference in 2014. This is nothing new as he said then during the post game was all he was focused on was getting a bud light to his lips ...

Couldn't respectfully disagree more. It was the line of the night and only added to the charm of his persona. Both my son and I busted out laughing when he said it so matter of factly. Just zero reason for anyone to wring his hands over that comment IMHO....thought it was great.

I was disappointed to be honest. Nothing wrong with beer, but millions of kids were watching and the message they got was -this is how you celebrate. Bad message

I felt like it marred his interview and was a bit excessive.

Him being a man of Christian faith it seemed a little contradictory. Not saying if you drink you aren't a Christian because that's not true. Drunkedness is a sin and we all sin and all sins are equal.

But..it's the way he did it. He started with saying he wanted to kiss his wife and hug his kids.. That's great.

Then says drink a lot of Budweiser.

Followed by say a prayer and thank the man upstairs.

Seems contradictory and like a lapse in judgement. He was on a platform where he is talking to millions of people, especially children and he is representing Christians. Didn't seem like saying that was necessary whether he is going to do that or not.

If he would have even just said he was going to have a beer it wouldn't seem as bad as saying a lot.

Then he said it again when up ion the podium.

Again, not saying he is a bad guy or not a Christian. I just personally felt like it ruined a good moment for him.

Flame away

No flame here. I felt a little of that. But have mixed feelings. One one hand - this is perhaps the grand exit. That two point conversion might have been his last toss for a score. Why get bogged down in product endorsements at such a career milestone?

On the other hand - he is a professional. Professionals do a job to get paid. Look at Nascar drivers - they have endorsements over every square inch of their car and their uniforms. Maybe, if he took money, (and it appears he didn't) then (i hope) a charity may benefit from the statements.

On the other (third?) hand - he's had a monster work ethic dang near his whole life. If this is retirement, maybe it's a subliminal way of saying to all, I'm quitting, going to drink a beer. If that's it, much deserved, by golly enjoy the fruits of your labels and the comradery of a championship team on a glorious night.
