Is allvol married? Single? Gay?
Would like to know his experience with marriage and money decisions. Maybe he gives his wife a food per diem.

Gosh, please quit quoting that guy. I've had allvol ignored for 2 football seasons and ppl still quote him. He's a troll, and he's already hijacked 6 pages. Yea, he's married, but his wife probably beats him bc he argues with her about whether it's pronounced toe-mato or tah- mato... Now he's unleashing his pent up rage on us. Get bullied much as a kid? Or were you the one on the front row that everyone wished would STFU bickering with the teacher, so we could get back to learning?


Troll, end of discussion

She was just pulling your leg, she's donating half. Payton does not donate without her agreement. And she is a lifelong UT fan (Grandfather player football there).

Reasonable people understand that the 500k most likely came from Peyton's income. However, when a public gift like this is honored, the spouse usually is recognized as well. I think you know this and decided to be a jacka$$ anyway....just admit it.

I'm bewildered as to why so many are throwing a hissy fit over the post. It's not a derogatory comment, neither is it a negative connotation to not be the possessor of thousands of dollars.

There are many things in life that are true and factual...but pointing them out in an inappropriate context makes one look like a jerk.

seriously? The guy donates 500 k and you have the nerve to say that it is not that much money and imply he should do more

I think you read too much into my post. My point was that $500,000 doesn’t really seem like an excessive amount of money nowadays considering what it takes to run a foundation and keep it financially viable for any length of time, although I do think it’s a rather impressive donation from a single source. When I was growing up, everyone aspired to someday become a millionaire. Considering what everything cost back then, having a million dollars in your bank account would seem to be enough to allow you to live like a king for the rest of your life. Now, becoming a millionaire is not enough for the truly aspirational. The super-rich ain’t comfortable unless their assets are in the billions of dollars. By that standard, 500K pretty much is a pittance. I don’t know if Peyton is a billionaire yet, but he’s certainly a multi-millionaire. As I said originally, his donation was quite generous. I think he deserves kudos not only for donating an amount that most of us could never afford, but for lending his name to the cause. That alone is enough to keep Pat’s Foundation at a high awareness level. I just wish that more of the super-rich would donate hundreds of thousands, or more, to such worthy causes. Pat certainly deserves every penny that comes her way. She's paid her dues.

Not trying to side with all whatever his name is, but...

You can't possibly think you made a point with that. People with lower incomes make like twenty thousand a year while Peyton makes twenty million a year. People who make 20,000 need every penny to get by. People who make 20 million could throw 500,000 in their fire place to keep warm. I think 1,000 means a little more to someone who only makes 20,000. Unless you're implying Peyton lives a lifestyle where 500,000 is relevant to his 20,000,000 salary. Doesn't even include endorsements. As if millions for a game isn't ridiculous enough, now he gets money for being who he is.

It always amazes me when someone has an opinion on athletes or celebrities and fans jump all over them. Attacking the little guy for not donating because they pointed out that 500,000 is toilet paper to some rich dolt. I see it constantly from every fan base. You're talking directly to someone while defending someone who I'm assuming doesn't know you and will never have anything to do with you. Every fan base does it... I'm convinced there are Miami fans that would stab you for insulting Lebron. When did society become so brainwashed over athletes and celebrities? I've come to believe that the huge Peyton fans are no different than Beliebers. They must be because if somebody says anything about Peyton, they jump down their throat. The golden boy poops chocolate, take a bite.

This wasn't meant to attack you so sorry if it came off that way. But a lower or middle class(most are lower now)family struggling to get by has no room to talk because they can't afford to donate is how I took your comment. I'll keep it in mind that I can't comment on celebs donating their surplus of money because I don't. No sir, I prefer being able to feed myself and have a roof over my head. I'll never have an opinion again when it comes to someone who has more money than me. I'll shut my mouth, spit shine their shoes and inhale their farts like oxygen.

For what it's worth, I've grown out my hair a couple times just to donate it to kids with cancer. Maybe some day I'll be lucky enough to have a few extra computer digits/pieces of paper that I'll never come close to needing and can give away. Maybe then I can be praised by all and will have bought the right to have an opinion on people who are apparently better than me. Michael Vick being one of those people. I could never judge that guy. I hear he donated 10% of his salary, whoa! That's double the 5% I don't donate. :blink:

I fully expect to be rammed hard by the Peyton fans who follow him from team to team. I'll just say that it's nice of him to donate. It still stands that it will never come down to him needing that 500,000 for anything which makes it a relatively empty gesture. That's not an insult, it's a fact. A fact that seems to upset some people for some reason. Also, I agree with the person who mentioned Bruce Pearl not getting praise for having donated. He has made far less than Peyton so quite frankly, him donating is more impressive. Nobody should judge him for lying about sammiches. Not until you've donated 5% of your salary. Because you know... Giving away 2,500 of your 50,000 instead of getting your kid braces is the same as a millionaire(100 times over) giving away money he'll never use.

After about the fifth class envy post, I have had enough. You class envy people are clueless. It is a waste of time to try and explain it to you. Peyton and his wife are all class.

Try reading and you might see that the Manning family income is not the typical household.

I'd say the gay question would be solely because you're turned on right now. Sorry though, I won't be able to help you in that department.

feel free to elaborate, it is a message board after all.

So I'm right, but you just don't like saying it out loud because you have feelings? Solid stuff there.

And what is the inappropriate context? You're worried Ashley is up late at night reading these message boards and that my post could bring about some distress in her life? More solid stuff.
