The New Poster Child
(Note: The latest in our Y2K-U series appears immediately below this piece from Sip.)
I have a million reasons to be happy about Peyton Manning and the Colts beating the Patriots.
I like Peyton. I think that he is everything that is right with professional athletes. He is a good guy who works hard, loves his game and is a positive ambassador of it. In a world of felons and brawls, its nice to have a Peyton Manning around.
I also don't like the Patriots. They've won enough. They were once a nice story but now they have been the topic of too many Bill Simmons rants for me to give the time of day.
For me, you couldn't have drawn it up any better. Pats kicker makes big kick and Peyton leads the winning drive. There was the Vinatieri departure plotline and the dramatic Peyton Manning comeback. So many years later, and the monkey has been lifted off his back.
Peyton Manning is no longer a loser.
This, my friends, is why we as a community of Mets fans and Yankee haters should all be truly happy. Now, there is only one true LOSER in all of sports...
Alex Rodriguez.
This group used to include Phil Mickelson and Peyton Manning and it may very well one day include LeBron James. We can call this group, "The Anti-Vinatieri's." (Is he the biggest winner of all time?)
But right now, the only true superstar who has never won anything... once again, our boy, Alex Rodriguez.
I gotta tip the cap to my good pal Kenny From Camp. He was the first to unfold this tiny piece of truth. But it really is so true. A-Rod is now the poster child of losing. He has no close friends in his circle as he remains the one big name to never win the big one.
Sure, Peyton hasn't won the Super Bowl yet. But I don't think that is really important. He beat Brady, Belichick and the Patriots in the big stage. On Sunday he became a winner.
After 10-odd seasons in baseball, A-Rod still hasn't made it there. He has smiled for a lot of cameras, spoken a ton of cliches and put up monstrous numbers, but he remains a giant loser.
In this, we can all revel. If you hate Peyton, which many do, think of this as the ultimate positive.
That's all I got.
Live from Los Angeles, the city of brotherly love. Gorgeous.

What has Manning won? A Super Bowl
He hasn't won anything yet.
Asshole Mets Suck!!!!!
Nice Starting Rotation you have there. Maybe you know the answer. Why do all of you Met fans look & dress alike. It's like you all still think it's the 70's. With your teen age pimple puss STUPID RED faced mongaloid look.
No, it's soooo true. I really do think it's still the '70s. Which is weird, because I buy the paper every day, and sure enough, the date says that it's something in 2007. And I can't find any of the rotary phones or hair shirts I want to buy, so you'd think I would catch on. But hey, I suppose it goes with being stupid and red-faced.
