You are mistaken. The media LOVED!!! Manning. Everyone else hated him because of the media love. You’ll recall the Manning chokes in the playoffs. Dungy can’t win the big game. Our idiot kicker blaming Dungy and Manning for losing big games. 

Goodness! I never had the impression that the Colts were hated, as you contend. Here is the Harris Poll of favorite NFL teams as of 2010. Note that the Colts finished 2nd overall, and that tied their highest-ever finish, also attained in 2007:

I took some time to match up some wrestlers with who I think would be their NFL equivalent. Feel free to fill in the blanks or change some around!


Lions: Doink the Clown (face) A little bit more than a jobber recently but have never really been taken seriously
 

Underrated comparison.  They had a good face run with Barry Sanders and had a nice evil heel run with Suh.

Patriots are more like John Cena.  Cena is very polarizing like the Patriots.  Hugely popular as they have a massive fan base (not so much in this forum), but also have just as many haters... if not more.

The similarities between Cena and Brady are eyebrow raising imo.

Sweet Jesus both the saints and the Falcons are in the top 10.  What is the world coming to O.o  Both teams have usually been hated by people outside of those cities/states.   The rivalry and good games between the 2 are finally starting to pay off and people are getting excited about watching them a little now.  Good job by both teams for sure although im salty their in the top 5 a little ahead of us xD

O.o  ah the year we went 13-3 in the playoffs we had a pretty good year that year.  Although i don't remember many people caring for us then.  We did have a nice following when Vick was ding his thing but outside of that for the most part until recently ppl seemed to not like us from what i could tell.

Best way to sum it up...

Heel teams = Any team that is very successful and many opposing fans resent their success.

Babyface =  Teams that dont have as much success, but will turn heel more and more as soon as they start having success.
