You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™
Tom Brady VS Peyton Manning.
It’s great versus great.
It’s superior versus stellar.
It’s a battle between two men who play the position like it should be played.
Brady Versus Manning.
They are celestial Gods throwing spheroids of cowhide.
Whose better?
That’s a tough question like asking; what’s more beautiful? A full moon or a golden sunset.
Each is exquisite in its own distinct way.
Choosing between great and great is like choosing between filet mignon and chocolate cake.
Both are deliciously different.
Brady versus Manning.
It’s immovable force versus unstoppable object.
According to CBS, Brady is the better quarterback in regular season games.
But when it counts, when all the other teams are home drinking and watching on TV; Brady and Manning are dead ass even.
Post Season Record: 2-2.
That’s 2 wins for Great. And two wins for Great.
Brady Versus Manning is the pinnacle of the sport.
For a football fan, it’s having a glass of cognac after climbing to the summit of Mt. Everest.
Hard Core football fans get goose bumps when asked about this matchup.
2 men with 5 Superbowl championships.
Brady draft pick #199. Peyton Manning draft pick #1.
One man with a huge chip on his shoulder. The other man filled with so much desire to excel.
Whose who?
It doesn’t matter.
The Broncos are playing the Patriots, but the matchup of Brady and Manning transcends the sport.
Everyone knows Brady and Manning.
Chinese vandals spray painting the Great Wall know these guy.
Chicks shopping at the BeBe Store at the local mall know these guys.
Trained chimps at the San Diego Zoo know who they are tossing their poop at.
Peyton’s the funny one. Brady’s the cute one.
Both are winners.
Brady Versus Manning.
Ask each QB if they think about the match up.
Both men are veterans of the P.R. game.
Less is more.
It’s all about respect.
These two leaders are too smart to put something on the other team’s bulletin board.
The quote they will give; “I’m not playing against him. I’m going against the defense.”
True.
But it’s a lie.
These two guys are the heart and soul of their respective teams.
They are playing against each other.
Because as they go, so to go their teams.
Both men are 8 cylinder luxury sedans cruising down a highway with no law enforcement interference.
Manning is a Mercedes. Brady a Lexus.
Both are smooth and sleek and stylish and well-engineered.
While they discount the one on one aspect of the contest, behind the scenes, these men are competitive.
They are beyond competitive. They are ferociously possessed.
The pre-game show is filled with bluster.
Who is better? Who is the better leader?
That’s like asking who you got?
Picasso or Monet?
Elle McPherson or Christie Brinkley?
Ferrari or Maserati?
I’m watching the AFC championship pre-game show and you would think the game is secondary.
Football is the ultimate team sport, but for the hype machine, it’s QB vs QB.
It’s four time super bowl champion against 1 time super bowl champ.
It’s future hall of famer versus futre hall of famer.
Brady leads the series 11-5.
It’s the handsome Tom Brady against the witty Peyton Manning.
It’s going to be exciting. It’s going to be competitive.
Most of the pregame experts are picking the Patriots.
Why?
Mostly because they like Brady and they think he has the best options.
But these two men are grid iron warriors.
This game could come down to the wire.
This game could come down to which man has the ball last.
Greatness often does.
