What a sloppy Super Bowl. At least it did keep my attention to the end.
...
What more does Peyton Manning have to do to silence his critics? For years, pundits have said he had to get past the Patriots to be considered among the best. Then, it was said he had to get to the Super Bowl. Then, it was said he had to win a Super Bowl. Now, some are suggesting to be among the all-time greats, he has to win more than one.
Let's see, QBs who won more than one Super Bowl: Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, Bob Griese, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Plunkett, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, John Elway, and Tom Brady. That's it, that's the list.
There are some pretty good QBs who only won one: Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Steve Young, and Brett Favre, to name a few. Hall of Famers all.
Then again, I guess Mark Rypien, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, and Trent Dilfer were all Super Bowl winners as well.
Manning deserves his due. Back off of the man!
...
Speaking of QBs with one Super Bowl win, how bad is Phil Simms as a broadcaster? I cannot believe he is CBS' #1 analyst. He is unlistenable.

While we are on the "un"s, how "un"remarkable were the ads? There were some good ones - "I threw a rock" and the Dorito's ad from Cary among them - but nothing you will talk about at the water cooler all week or even remember a month from now. And who were the lame-oids at USA Today that picked the crab ad #1 and the dirty dog ad #2?
...
When they get to 50, will it really be Super Bowl L? Somehow seems smaller than Super Bowl XL, doesn't it?

Roger Goodell needs to enroll in Toastmasters to work on his public speaking skills. His first SB as commish, and I've seen funeral directors with more spunk.

Wow, were you aware that Tony Dungy was the first African-American coach to win the Super Bowl? How could you not, as it was a main media focus. I told the lovely and talented Katie that I had hoped we were past even caring about stuff like that, but she replied that she thought this photo from the State-UNC game was a much better sentiment.
...
I like how Dungy handled it all - he deflected praise and gave credit to those black coaches that came before him. Classy. He also referred to his faith and spoke of he and Bears coach Lovie Smith as Christians who did things "the Lord's way."
...
Poor Rex Grossman. Worse QBs have made it to a Super Bowl, even won it (see Dilfer), but none have taken the fall like Rexy. Grossman may take the fall, but the Bears abandoned the running game late and put it all on him to win or lose. It's not fair that he will be sliced apart, but that's life as a QB in the NFL.
...
Well, gotta go for tonight. It's almost X o'clock and I have to get VIII hours of shut-eye!

To be a hall of famer, Manning must be on a championship team in the Toilet Bowl. Of course, to make that happen he has to be drafted by someone other than Kash.
