   DENVER — Peyton Manning heard the boos that echoed through   
   Sports Authority Field at Mile High Thursday night when the   
   scoreboard operator showed San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip   
   Rivers' face.   
      
   Manning heard the cheers, too, when the picture immediately   
   switched to a live shot of himself on the Broncos' sideline.   
      
   But oddly enough, Rivers — arguably the opposing player who irks   
   Broncos fans the most — was the one who was smiling, and Manning   
   was the one who was sour.   
      
   "Our fans were great," Manning said. "But the scoreboard   
   operator, it wasn't his best night."   
      
   Manning, five days removed from setting the NFL's all-time   
   passing touchdown record and shortly after a 35-21 win against   
   division rival San Diego on Thursday, went off on that   
   scoreboard operator in his post-game press conference.   
      
   If it wasn't clear enough that Manning wants things done his way   
   after he (and his receivers) orchestrated a silly game of keep-   
   away with the record-breaking touchdown on Sunday, his post-game   
   rant should have sealed it.   
      
   "I have no problem with our fans, our fans are great. I've got a   
   problem with our scoreboard operator. I've got to have a little   
   talk with him," Manning said, his tone very serious. "I'm not   
   sure what he's doing. He's playing music and showing our players   
   dancing and getting the crowd fired up when we have the ball. I   
   don't think we should be doing that. I don't think we should be   
   showing their quarterback on the sideline. I thought it was   
   disrespectful."
