Re: No it was not a joke....
I don't like the precedent that this represents. If you are the best player available in the draft, you go to the worst team...its been that way for decades. All of a sudden, a Manning starts whining, and he gets to hand pick his team.
Don't forget that earlier this off-season, a similar situation occured when Terrell Owens decided that he REALLY didn't want to play for Baltimore, a team he was contractually obliged to. So they traded him to the Eagles, where Owens is happy as a clam. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crybaby.gif
