Favre? No. Brady? Absolutely not. Elway? Laughable. Aikman? Hell 2 da naw! Even Montana didn't shoulder the load in the revisionistically heroic way Simmons thinks that Brady has and Manning hasn't. <BR/><BR/>Attributing Manning's lack of a championship to only Manning may be the most ridiculous argument in the NFL. Well, that, and attributing the Patriots success to just Tom Brady. Bill Simmons - you suck.<BR/><BR/>Also - here's a fun fact: which quarterback has more touchdowns in the playoffs? The answer: it's a tie. Manning has the same amount of TD passes and only 30 fewer yards in two less playoff appearances. Also, Captain Choke-away-the-big-one only has three more INTs in the playoffs. If you can find a dramatic difference in those numbers (enough to attribute success/failure to one guy, anyway) then you're a smarter man than I.<BR/><BR/>(Note: Bill Simmons is not a smarter man than I.)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547108094270238761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1162632920403903042006-11-04T03:35:00.000-06:002006-11-04T03:35:00.000-06:00He didn't even mention that Peyton is an endorseme...He didn't even mention that Peyton is an endorsement whore, the only legitimate reason to hate him.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't get this hating the Patriots thing. In all my experience as a sports fan, aside from longtime rivalries (which the Colts/Patriots definitely is not) I have never hated a team or player that my team routinely beat.<BR/>I didn't hate the 49ers growing up because come December, they were the Packers' bitch (until, of course, The Catch II, which changed all my feelings towards the Niners). Instead, Packers fans of the 90s hated the fucking Cowboys, because they knocked us out of the playoffs like, what, seven times in four years?<BR/><BR/>Knicks fans hated Reggie Miller because Reggie killed them.<BR/>Jazz fans hated Michael Jordan because he kept Malone's dirty hands off the championship trophy.<BR/>Every golfer in the world hates Tiger Woods because, well, Tiger beats everyone.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's just me, but Bill Simmons' hatred for Peyton and the Colts tells me that he's scared that this is the year that they beat his beloved Pats.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But geez, fuck Bill Simmons. I used to like him, but all he does anymore is write about his teams, his personal life and in general, a bunch of shit that nobody cares about but him.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889169796759342598noreply@blogger.com
