My EXACT feelings.

For some reason I enjoy watching Peyton lose in the early in playoffs year after year, after year. I think it's because I feel he doesn't deserve all the praise he gets from the media. I don't like Eli either, but thats because he was a b*tch on draft day. He got what he wanted, going to NY and now he's struggling and I'm glad.

It may also be because he's the son of a former nfl player. But I'm not a 100%
sure why I hate him either. I was just thinking about this last weekend while I was rooting for the Chiefs.
