Payton Manning on the other hand, people generally adore him. Even despite those awful pizza commercials.

Manning is genuinely funny and doesn't mind putting himself out there for comedic value. Brady doesn't do that, except for occasional Wahlberg movies. He's happy with his private life, as most of us would be, much to the chagrin of many of those same people. Manning also got one of Brady's star receivers, Wes Welker, who was still doing great things for New England, and did nothing with him.
Goodell villainized the Pats, mostly fabricated or implied, some legit, and turned them into the Yankees of football. Yankees had A-Rod (coincidentally a decent looking guy with hotties and wealth). It's made the commish even more wealthy and powerful.
