Man, if you told me 5 years ago I'd be hearing "The Seahawks are World Champs" at the end of a Superbowl, I'd have slapped you silly.

"I don't think this ultimately affects how he is remembered whatsoever."

 

Yeah, because that's how sports punditry works.

 

Ultimately, no one remembered the three SB losses John Elway had.

 

Different circumstances, mind you, but time does create a fuzzy memory.

 

But they do remember the 4 Jim Kelly lost

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.

Well, Kelly never had the chance to avenge himself.  He's not Thor or Iron Man. :)

Even though only three were his fault, and Manning has those losses to Florida too. . .

Um...I would say a lot of people remember the Skins beating Elway because of Doug Williams...

Why the hell am I so giddy at the prospect of watching Elway getting hit with a Chaos Theory?

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.

Haha. I just spoke to my grandmother. She's a big fan of the Manning's and she is FURIOUS. She is convinced it's all "the gamblers" fault.

So much is Kenny Rogers fault.

IT GETS BETTER.

I tried to explain to her that, you know, sometimes the other team is just better than your team and you lose without anybody having to throw the game, and she said to me: "You're just too good-hearted and honest to understand how the world works."

Remember, there will be a village somewhere in Burkina Faso where Manning is considered a champion.

Little Kenyan boy: Four times, the Bills won four times in a row!  What a powerhouse!

I'd like to see your gramma do a promo battle with HHH now.  I think she'd do better than most.

Networks really need to do a better job counter programming the Super Bowl post game so that I am not watching the fucking updated Newlywed Game.

I clearly loathe myself
