So my thoughts on Peyton.
I was so proud to see what I saw last night. I personally feel blessed as a die hard sports fan. I thought I was lucky to see Reggie Miller. Reggie is a legend to me. Maybe he's not so much a legend to others here, but he meant a lot to me. To have the opportunity to root for quite possibly, the best QB of all time... i'm truly lucky. If I can relate this to TPWW somehow. When I first started posting here, there was not bigger Peyton fan. And people on this board talked so much shit about Peyton. As the years have gone by, the amount of respect Peyton has earned on this board alone is amazing. It just goes to show that every once in a while a player will come around and blur the line of fandom and gain the respect of the masses. Ironically its the reason I've gained so much respect for Tom Brady as I've grown older. I wish there was a way that Peyton could have broke this record as a Colt, but there just wasn't. Going forward with a very questionable Peyton, when Luck was on the table and ready to go and ( knowing now ) was a sure thing. There was no way it made sense. It was a shitty situation. I love Peyton so much. I'm very happy that I ( hopefully ) grow old and have kids and grandkids that I can tell, in detail, about Peyton Manning. This is probably a bit convoluted right now, but i'm just so happy for Peyton. The Broncos are so lucky to have him. I'm lucky to have seen the best of him, but dammit, I think the Broncos are getting the best of him too lol. I'm jealous. But I love Andrew Luck. The sports gods really blessed me. One day when Peyton retires, i'm gonna dig up all these old NFL threads and do a Best Of RP: Peyton Addition.
On a side note. Indianapolis and Denver look like they're on a collision course for the AFC Championship game. That would be fucking epic.
