You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™
Tom Versus Peyton.
Peyton Versus Tom.
You’d think Jesus was playing Moses for prophet of the ages.
“That’s right, Jim. Jesus has a heck of an ability to walk on water, but Moses has a wicked burning bush and tablet.”
The hype is even hyped.
It’s adrenaline on amphetamines.
To the House Wives of Atlanta, this is a football game.
To sports reporters and anyone who has hoisted a beer in a pub, this is the Super Bowl before the super bowl.
This is football’s “what if God fought Superman?” moment.
“The two greatest quarterbacks in the history of quarterbacking face each other in the AFC Championship game.
Winner gets to go to the Superbowl.
It’s so much, so over the top, so much of a broadcasting red alert, it’s a turn off.
Brady vs Manning is super hype.
“The quarterback who guides their team to the big game goes down in history as perhaps the greatest to ever play,” I heard one pundit say.
That’s a lot of hype to shove in one mouth.
The Hype for the Denver Broncos against the New England Patriots is off the charts.
It’s radioactive.
Brady versus Manning.
The excess is white-hot.
Manning versus Brady.
It’s like going to the Fukushima Nuclear Plant and tanning indoors, hot.
The two best EVER.
Two men enter. One man leaves.
Give me a break.
The best ever.
Based on what? This new millennium’s pass happy culture that promotes aerial bombadeering over grid iron grind outs.
I can all ready see Joe Montana or Joe Namath and Dan Fouts biting their pass happy tongues.
Is Dan Marino less a historically less significant presence because he didn’t win a Super?
The NFL channel has nothing but time to spin these story lines.
Hype Hype Hype.
Manning and his penchant for screaming Omaha. Brady and his hot super model wife.
wonder how the other two QB’s in this round of four feel.
What’s his name and that other guy.
So I’m watching the game and suddenly, I see 20 other guys.
Imagine that.
Brady gets sacked. I guess the ten guys with him failed.
Peyton throws a touchdown pass.
What? he didn’t throw it to himself.?
I understand the excitement, but football is the ultimate team sport.
It takes 11 guys on offense to work as a unit to execute effectively.
You can be Moses lining up under center and if the other guys don’t block and run the right patterns, you can carry all the tablets down from the fiery mountain you want and they’re still gonna smelt a golden calf.
I don’t even know what that means.
All I’m saying is.
Broncos won. Patriots lost.
Both QB’s looked good.
But neither could have done it without the other 10 guys around them.
Hey Hype Machine.
Go sink your teeth into something else.
How about Richard Sherman’s post game rant.
“I’m the best ever.”
Oh no.
Here we go again.
Life’s Crazy™
