Wasn't Bret the Champ when Pierre stole his jacket or whatever they were feuding over? Fairly sure that was during Nash's title run.

Yeah, saying Peter King is right is always a painful experience.

Anybody see Bullet to the Head? It's On Demand, but I haven't decided if it's worth taking a look or not.

Well, I don't necessarily agree with "he's not a hall of famer" but I do agree that definitely Harrison and probably Brown are more deserving.

I hate myself for saying this: On the particular issue of Andre Reed, I kinda sorta agree with Peter King.

Tim Brayton has a very nice retrospective/list of best performances (in his view, of course) up: http://antagonie.blogspot.com/2014/02/ten-for-monday-in-memoriam-philip.html

I think Punk took about three weeks off, not three months. Didn't miss a ppv.

Christ that scene... There are only two movies that have ever given me a migraine that made me nauseous enough to leave a movie theater: Quantum of Solace and Silent Hill. I guess it shows you how long it's been since I've seen Quantum of Solace (opening weekend in theater), but I remember that chase scene being the best part of the film. It is literally the worst edited scene I can remember seeing, for my money.

Yup, tv contracts go to road team for non conference games.

Denver always chooses to take the ball when they win the toss anyway.

It was almost like revisiting my childhood, watching the NFC just beat the hell out of the AFC.

Peyton Manning set records for single season yards, touchdowns, passing first downs, completions in the Super Bowl, and career playoff loses. #SeasonForTheAges

I don't know. I mean, he didn't go on the same kind of insane run Flacco did last year. Flacco had arguably the best playoff run ever by a QB last year.

Ultimately, no one remembered the three SB losses John Elway had. Different circumstances, mind you, but time does create a fuzzy memory. Timing is everything. (And, of course, Peyton is, afaik, not retiring, so he may very well get another shot) but Elway's career fits a redemption narrative so incredibly well. By ending with the two wins, he re-contextualized the three loses.

I was pretty confident that Seattle was going to win, but damn did I not see it going down like this.

Wait, did Troy Aikman just essentially say that Ty Law and Darrelle Revis weren't shut-down corners?

"I don't think this ultimately affects how he is remembered whatsoever." Yeah, because that's how sports punditry works.

At least this year starting the mvp voting half way through the 4th quarter doesn't mean the game is completely up in the air.

They had to ADR that ScarJo commercial to take out her saying "sorry Coke and Pepsi." EDIT: SirFozzie beat me to it.

Brady did lead a drive down to field goal range in both those games, though.

For my money, he's clearly behind Montana (everyone is clearly behind Montana) and he's right there with Brady, Unitas, Graham, and Elway. But this the second time we've gotten the "If (read: when) he wins this super bowl, he will be the unquestioned best of all-time" narrative. And if him beating the Saints in 2009, or the Seahawks today, would have made him #1, what does him losing and playing poorly mean? I respect the hell out of him, Amazing football player. But I enjoy rooting against him, because it's fun and more often than not, you get great moments like tonight if you stick with it. Also, just for the record, the Lions suck. There, saved you some time.

It's almost identical to the offense Peyton has been running for over a decade. I don't recall him running nearly this many screen passes and 3-5 yard crossers in Indy. That is almost all they're doing. Truthfully, overall he throws it deep more in Denver than he did in Indy. But his guys can't get open deep, and Seattle isn't running the standard zone looks he normally sees.

It wasn't even better than Superman Returns. Both of these are true.

Damn, there goes the shut out.
