[Penndems]

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning on Friday was named the winner of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

Connie Payton, the wife of the late Walter Payton, presented Manning with the award at a morning news conference.

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, named after the legendary running back of the Chicago Bears, is the only NFL award that recognizes off-the-field community service as well as playing excellence.

"This award is one I'll cherish forever in part for the man it's named after and in part because it represents community service," Manning said. "With the great advantages of being an NFL quarterback comes great responsibility to make a difference in the community."

1. Let's see how well Mr. SI does next year after dissing his offensive line

That showed no class. After losing to the Steelers he placed blame on his offensive line...the guys who get no glory but take the abuse. I hope his offensive line lets all the defenses through next year.
