Hester Bears it all

While most people in Chicago are forcusing on how Jay Cutler is playing like a royal behind, it was his teammate, Devin Hester, who showed the entire world his rear end on Sunday Night. Devin: try on some undies dude!

Sometimes in sports you get a feeling that you’re watching history unfold before you. Michael hitting the shot over Ehlo, Kirk Gibson running the base paths in the World Series, or Mike Tyson falling flat against Buster Douglass. Moments like these are etched in our minds for a lifetime; woven into the fabric of history. This past Sunday night was one of those events, as Peyton Manning and Tom Brady went head-to-head in a game that is already being dubbed an instant classic.

But I’m not here to question Bill Belichick’s call on fourth-and-two. That’s already been done. Ad nauseam.

In stead, I’d rather focus on the reason why Belichick made that tough decision: Peyton Manning’s greatness. Manning has already won three NFL MVP awards, a Super Bowl MVP, and has set countless passing records throughout an illustrious 12-year career. He’s also never missed a start, and is basically a coach on the field. As crazy as it sounds, this may be the best football we’ve ever seen Manning play.

Manning has topped 300 passing yards in eight of nine games this season while leading his club to a 9-0 start. He’s also averaging more than 2 TD’s per game over that span, and completing nearly 70 percent of his passes. Simply put, Peyton Manning is the MVP of the league again. I know Drew Brees is playing at an extremely high level as well, but Peyton is doing all of this with a new coaching staff in place and without long-time hookup Marvin Harrison. My guess is that Manning would win in a head-to-head duel as well.

So as the season unfolds, sit back and enjoy Peyton’s reign. It may be a long time before we see another QB with his vision, composure, knowledge, and rocket arm again. He may not be flashy, but Peyton Manning might just be the best QB to ever play in the NFL. And there’s no way he’s retiring with only one Super Bowl ring. My guess is that we will get another one of those “magical moments” at some point down the road. Maybe even in February.

Me and my Vikes get two bye weeks in a row

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by Jesse in Blog

Those of you who regularly read my postings on this site have probably wondered where I’ve been lately. We’ll, just like my favorite team, I’ve taken a couple weeks off. The Minnesota Vikings didn’t play a game in week 9, and they basically had another bye week yesterday as they hosted the hapless Lions. Honestly, I didn’t even watch the game because the outcome was decided before the opening kickoff. Actually, I missed the entire day of football yesterday as I returned from a fantastic hunting trip out in Wyoming.

Now back to the grindstone this week for both myself, and for my favorite club. Fantasy’s stretch run is beginning, and the Vikes have a couple of competent opponents coming up, so we’re all getting refocused. More content to follow soon…
