Ending the Manning-Brady Debate

With all the build-up to this week's game between New England and Denver, the NFL Network is doing everything it can to reignite the Manning vs. Brady debate. Last night, I stayed up and watched an hour-long show counting down their top 10 matchups. Sure, Brady has the looks, the hot wife and the rings, but in the end, Peyton is still a one-of-a-kind/once-in-a-lifetime quarterback.

Has Brady broken the all-time TD pass record in way fewer games than it took the legendary Brett Favre? And as it stands, Manning could post a gaudy number for the new record. If he plays another two years, which is highly likely, that record could stand for decades. No, the lunchpail, do just enough to get the "W" Brady is never going to approach that level of excellence.

Case closed. But nice try to capitalize on the ratings, NFL Net.

ESecPN Gains Traction Nationally

The SEC-bias by ESPN would be laughable if it just weren't so horribly egregious. And for them to publicly speak out about it, coming to their own hapless defense, is just sad.

Now, Rolling Stone has picked up on the growing anti-ESPN-ism amongst college football fans across the country. And while this is not a particularly FSU-related issue, I am glad the writer brought up Jameis Winston and the unparalleled media (read ESPN) scrutiny of him this year, when by all counts, the worst he did--and the only illegal act, I might add--was steal $34 worth of crab legs.

SEC Bias? Naw!

How do I know? Chris Fowler says so!

Forget the fact that the cable sports network for which he works acquired the rights to host the SEC Network for umpteen million. But they've got no stake in it. Doesn't skew their reporting at all. Nor does it effect the polls. That's how a championship-defending team, undefeated this year (and all of last...going back 23 games), defeats a team like Notre Dame, ranked in the top 5, has one of the best records against top-tier teams, yet gets jumped because the SEC Network deemed that it's own conference is so much tougher that any win, even over the likes of Kentucky, deserves more first place votes. SEC-ass-kissers say "WHAT?"

So here's the new-look logo for the network that I've chosen not to watch unless it's the only one carrying the FSU game that week...

Oh, and nice try Fowler, but the SEC Network isn't owned or operated by CBS.

GREAT FOOTBALL WEEKEND!

The Colts put the SMACKDOWN on Cincy today, shutting them out and scoring 27.

The Seminoles eeked one out against #5 Notre Dame in a thrilla at Doak! (Remain at number 2 in both polls, makes no sense!)

And Peyton Manning surpasses Brett Favre's record mark for number of touchdown passes! KUDOS #18.
