Manning is the epitome of cool, calm, and collectiveness on a football field, but after the 2003 Pro Bowl, he let rip at teammate Mike Vanderjagt after the kicker questioned the team's leadership. He told the media: Here we are, Im out at my third Pro Bowl, and were talking about our idiot kicker, who got liquored up and ran his mouth off. What is the sports world coming to when were talking about idiot kickers? He has ruined kickers for life. When I get home, Ill deal with it. Tony Dungy and I will talk about it. Its kind of funny, really, when you think about it. If hes still a teammate, well deal with it. That remains to be seen. The sad thing is, hes a good kicker. Hes a good kicker. But hes an idiot.
