NFL 2015 Season (2 Viewers)

I have a hard time finding anything not to like about Tom Brady. Besides the things George noted, he keeps himself in super shape by being on a special diet, which will probably allow him to play into his 40s.

Gary Myers of the New York Daily News recently did a book about Brady and Manning. He was interviewed about it on WFAN in NY and said he found Brady easy to deal with, open and very inquisitive on how and why Myers is a writer. On the other hand, he said he found Manning almost the opposite and took him a lot of effort just to get Manning to take the time to talk to him.

Here is an excerpt from an interview that Gary Myers did:

I found [Brady] to be personable, forthcoming and cooperative. I was surprised at how much he is still motivated by what happened to him at Michigan – he didn’t start until the fourth of his five years in the program – and how he takes nothing for granted.

I found Manning much more guarded than I anticipated. I first met him the day before he was drafted in 1998 and have been around him a lot for the last 17 years. It took some work on my part to get him to cooperate to be interviewed. He is much more corporate than Brady and at the start of this process I thought it would be the other way around."
 
As a Yankee and NY Giants fan, and a person whom I think even George will admit is not a Patriot hater, I happen to respect the hell out of Tom Brady, Bill Belichek, and the Patriots organization as a whole. As a Giants fan, I take enormous pride in the fact that my team put the only blemishes on this team's record, which should tell you something about how much I respect George's team. That being said, if there is a conspiracy against the Patriots, it is doing a lousy job. George, what you are perceiving as a conspiracy is just the normal way the fans of a team on top in the midst of a long winning run perceive all the other teams trying to knock them off the top of the mountain. The rest of the league just plays harder and tries to find any way to do it.

This Patriots team is on a magical run, and I just hope George is enjoying it. In retrospect he probably will, but like a Yankee fan in the midst of the 1996-2009 run, he is probably at a point where he expects a championship and anything less feels like failure.

As to this weekend's games, I can't imagine Denver finding a way to even keep it close with Manning far from healthy and unable to throw an accurate deep ball (he has completed 3 of 17 passes where the ball traveled more than 30 yards in the air this season, the last in November), you would have to give me at least 10 points before I would even consider betting the Broncos.

If the Cardinals don't turn the ball over, I see them upsetting the Panthers in a close game, but Carson Palmer can't play like he did last weekend. He looked horrible, making dumb decisions and bad throws throughout. I don't see him doing that two weekends in a row, so I think the Cards win, but one or two dumb throws and it could be a 10 point victory for the Panthers.
 
personalities aside...they are both great QB's and have had illustrious careers...I have seen them both on SNL...and they both seem at ease making fun of themselves and the NFL...Manning is freakin hilarious in some of his skits...
 
Further to Louis' points, Manning has only 9 TDs this year while turning the ball over 17 times. The only thing that the Broncos have going for them is Brady's poor record in Denver.
 
Not sure if it will be a factor for the Panthers or Cards but the game time temp in Carolina is predicted to be around 32 degrees dropping to around 29 degrees by halftime.

I do know this from having Kubiak with the Ravens last year, that guy cares less about stats and all he wants is the W, so I believe if Manning really struggles in the 1st half don't be surprised if Brock comes in, hopefully Manning has best playoff game ever!! not by any means I'm a Manning fan but all's fair in love and War when it comes to toy soldiers ^&grin...Sammy

I would start him from the get go. Gives them a better chance to win than Manning, who can't throw the ball downfield anymore.

Saw a report today that Osweiler has a bum knee and shoulder and really isn't in any sort of game shape, so even if Manning stinks out the joint, Kubiak may not be able to make the switch even if he wanted to.

That is a huge X factor......................

I'm not sure what are NFL rules about signing somebody know but there has to be someone out there. Their third QB is Trevor Siemian, who Pete probably knows about since he went to Northwestern. He was in one game this year: 1 attempt for -1 yard.

Heck, I'm available. I can't do worse that much worse than Trev :wink2:

Tebow is available! That would strike fear in the Pats. LOL. I think Denver should pray for snow.

I'm pretty sure that that one play for -1 yards was a kneel down at the end of a half. An epic beginning to a career!!

He's a brilliant NU grad...he makes a lot of money to stand on a sideline and not get hit by anyone. Can't argue with that!!
 
I played college football
and my father told me one day (i never forgot)
when u loose , nobody cares
and they say u don't know what ur doing
when u win
people are jealous and they will do anything
to take u down
I realize today that my father was right
and i see that with the Yankees and Patriots
he also told me if u stick with the winners u become a winner
now u guys know that my teams are the Yankees and Patriots
I was involved in a truck accident last February 28
trowned out back window, 3 fractures in my back and one in my neck
The doctor told me i was very very lucky that i din't paralyze
Some people who saw the truck told me ur lucky u are talking to me
My father was right again
 
All,

I saw a report yesterday that Mike Miller was signed to be in charge of the NFL balls during the next Bronco vs. Patriots game.

Mike can you confirm?

John your neighbor

PS: Gents, don't get me wrong Brady's story is an awesome one...but he cheated on Deflate Gate and did not tell de' truff...de truff!
 
Perhaps you should try reading Judge Berman's decision instead before making your "statements."

That's ok Brad, everyone thinks they cheated during the Spygate scandal too.

And there was a second shooter.

And there are Martians at area 51.

And Elvis is still alive.

And the Alamo was a heroic last stand towards tyranny.

And Roosevelt knew the Japanese were going to attack at Pearl Harbor.

"We're on to Denver."
