Peyton's Pain

I feel sad for Indy Colts QB Peyton Manning... the poor guy... his team
lost in the playoffs for the 3rd successive time. Hands down, this guy
is the best qb in all football, he calls the plays himself, almost
acting like a coach on the field. This season his team finished with a
record of 14-2, roaring out of the gate with 13 straight wins. They had
everyone talking about an undefeated season, then eventually everything
fizzled out on them.



This guy was a helluva qb in his college days too, almost being born
with a football in his hand, Peyton was mentored and trained by the
best coach there is... his dad, Archie Manning, who quarterbacked the
New Orleans Saints to several good seasons in the 60s and 70s.



This guy could have been genetically engineered and nurtured to be a
top-flight hall-of-fame qb, but the problem is, he couldn't singularly
carry his team to the Superbowl. I feel for him because I can only
imagine the sort of pressure he has on his shoulders. I totally can
relate.
