Why Peyton heals the wounds
Thursday, November 10, 2005 at 1:56AM Peyton is the smartest QB ever to play the game. In the complex world that is NFL offense of this era, the man is the only guy out there who calls his own game from start to finish.■"Colts finally conquer their nemesis," by Judy Battista, International Herald Tribune, 9 November 2005, p. 21.
Plus, he audiblizes about 80% of the time. This is absolutely unreal.
Plus he's about as stand-up and good as they come. Tennessee still loves him. Indiana worships the man. The charity work, the way he carries himself. He does this all while still a young man.
And he finally beat those f'ing Patriots.
I had to live through the last years of the Gibbs era in DC and hated it. The smugness of that fan base, I thought, could never be surpassed, until I had to live in New England during the Pats' recent magnificent run (yes, three in four years is good, but 5 in 7 would really be impressive . . . oh, but that would be my Packers in 61, 62, 65, 66, and 67).
I'm definitely part of the ABP crowd, as in, "anybody but the Patriots" this year. I really hope Peyton and Tony Dungy (another very fine man) pull it off this year. This guy should not go to Canton, along with my Brett, without a Super Bowl ring.
And he's got to get it before the younger bro' does.
Whatever you say about Archie, that man knows how to raise sons like nobody's business.
Not leaving the Packers, mind you. If you're only a fan when it's good, then you're not a fan. But there is room in my heart for the Colts. Okay to be bi- when the AFC is an old NFL team.
Not really cheating.
