A Few Notes On The Football Games Yesterday....

Colts defeat the Jets by 13 points yesterday by a score of 30-17. I picked the Colts to win by 12 points at a score of 28-16. Finally an accurate post-season pick!

I'm not happy about Peyton Manning being back in the Super Bowl, but I am thrilled that we won't have to listen to Rex Ryan soundbites for the 2 weeks leading up to the title game.

Colts vs. Saints in the Super Bowl. I wonder how many times we are going to hear about the fact that Peyton's daddy Archie was once the face of the Saints' franchise at the quarterback position. Or how it's now Peyton vs. the team that he cheered for growing up and the city he grew up in.

I'm not going to lie, it was nice seeing Brett Favre take all those hits in the game yesterday. In my eyes, he really had them coming to him for everything he's created over the last few years.

It looked like the football was covered in Vaseline every time Adrian Peterson ran the ball. I've never seen an elite back fumble so much in one game.

Favre had a great season over-all, but his interception at the end of the game in that crucial moment sums up who "the 'ol gun-slinger" really is. Favre is only 40 years old, but boy did he look completely drained towards the end of the season. My guess is that he'll head back to Mississippi in the off-season and hibernate until the middle of pre-season. At that point, he'll wake up and decide to return to the Vikings and the whole process starts over again!
