Peyton for trying to sweep his hgh and teabagging stuff under the rug and plugging budweiser after his defense gifted him the trophy, etc.

Haha, this made me decide to compare Manning's performance in each Super Bow with the Broncos because I had a hunch he was actually better in the Seattle game. Turns out that hunch is right times a billion:

vs. Seattle
34/49 280 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 sack for 1 yard, QB Rating 73.5

vs. Carolina
13/23 141 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks for 37 yards, QB rating 56.6, 1 fumble lost


God drat he was loving terrible in that game.

Peyton was also poo poo in the Seattle game, but that was a team failure in all 3 phases of the game.

He was playing from behind the whole time and had to force a lot of poo poo. I don't think he played particularly poorly, his team just totally buried him, like you said.

He played pretty poorly. He had both interceptions in the first half and was basically unable to complete anything past like 5 yards downfield.

The second int was also a pick six that put them down 22 and pretty much ended the competitive parts of that game...

But man, yeah, that was a failure in all three phases. Right after the pick six, they almost fumbled away the kickoff, then the 2nd quarter ends and the 3rd quarter starts with that kick return TD. Then the next time they get into Seattle territory, Demarius fumbles it and a broncos olineman gets an unnecessary roughness.

I would like to either second Tom Brady, or simply go with Pats fans for trying to sue to get the draft pick back and also for this comedy gold:

I've seconded both for you, but you used the word "either" for some reason, perhaps because you're under the misapprehension that you're only allowed to nominate or second one thing? Because you can totally go to town. Please let me know if you only wanted to second one of those two.

I'm afraid I can't just change someone else's nomination based on your post. I can, however, give you your own nomination of that specific child. I assume it's a real child, I don't know anything about this incident.

I second the nomination of Jed York, who stole soccer from children.

quote:

Forbes magazine last week listed the value of the team at $2.7 billion. The Niners, according to Forbes, are the fifth most-valuable team in the NFL and had the biggest one-year increase in value -- 69 percent -- of any team in the league, thanks in large part to moving into the $1.2 billion Levi's Stadium.

Team revenue from ticket sales, sponsors, luxury suites and non-football events jumped 160 percent from the previous season, Forbes reported.

Yet CEO Jed York still won't live up to the commitment he made -- before the public vote on Levi's Stadium -- to replace the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League's tournament-class fields that the stadium is crowding out. York's corporation is walking away from its responsibility. Or, more likely, driving away in a convoy of Brinks Armored Vehicles.

Nominations go til the end of the nomination process, which I am going to let go until next weekend because I have some unexpected work travelling I have to do. Gotta love spending 4 months in Atlanta, being told construction is done on my restaurant, getting home, and being told to go back to Atlanta for 1-2 more weeks because construction was delayed again, when it was originally supposed to be done in March. I'd sarcastically nominate my company for DotY, but the money is too good for me to complain.

and,

I'm nominating Josh Gordon, who in addition to continuing to throw away his incredibly promising football career, decided it was a good idea to go hang out and party with Johnny Manziel. This was a decision a man made who presumably still wanted to play football.

I'd argue that Baylor shouldn't be eligible as a whole, but I'm willing to listen to arguments about how much or little Art Briles knew about.

After reading that report (what they released, keep in mind they weren't required to release anything so it's possible they're holding stuff back), I'm backtracking on this and think Briles, Starr and whoever else should just be rolled up into Baylor.

Strongly leaning towards douche here because of this poo poo http://deadspin.com/baylor-is-full-of-poo poo-1778933505

quote:

They also made sure to point out that they are a Christian university, including their “Christian mission” among the bullet points in their press release. Because after all this—after the lies, the coverups, the arrests, the convictions, and the silence—Baylor still has the audacity to cite its Christian mission, oblivious to the fact that if it followed that mission no one would be talking about this in the first place. Baylor can change the names, fire a few people, and release all the fraudulent reports it wants, but where improvement really starts is in showing, at minimum, the ability to give a poo poo. And giving a poo poo entails more than just saying “Sorry” over and over again.

:fuckoff: This is Notre Dame levels of smug piousness
