I'll be the first to admit that Brady and Manning will get the calls that ordinary QB's won't.

MJ was the same way. He would just about have to maul a guy on the court before Refs called a foul against him. Opposing coaches even had a name for it, "The Jordon Effect." (Something like that.)

Bird and Magic were the same way intheir day. Bird was one of the worst trash talkers in the NBA. He fought with Bill Lambeer, Doctor J and several others. Yet, I don't think larry ever got ejected from a game or ever fined by the NBA. (I can't recall that he ever had a technical called against him.) I do remeber Danny Aige getting a couple called on him just for pushing a guy during one of Bird's altercations.

When you are that good and make that much money, the refs seem to give you the benefit of the doubt. (No matter what the league.)
