Month: January 2016

I can’t stand Peyton Manning- detest the way the media blows him as if he is the elite quarterback he once was.  Peyton Manning did not win that game, the unrelenting and talented Denver Defense won that game.   Not taking the field goal was a questionable decision down 8, but credit that outstanding Denver Defense that made the plays when they had to.  Take the field goal and score like they did and the Patriots win. Forgotten how to win? A missed field goal means the entire team forgot how to win?  Stupid, trolling statement.

To me the story isn’t about Peyton Manning leading the Broncos to that win over the Patriots.  It was the Denver Defense that spent all day long dominating the line of scrimmage.

Shaughnessy’s quote, “The Patriots have simply forgotten how to win in enemy territory.”  WTF does that even mean? They forgot how to win away games?  Forgot?  Stupid troll job.

Shaughnessy’s the worst.

I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie. I can, but I won’t.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens,) 1835-1910

Best known by his pen name, Mark Twain, Clemens was a giant of American humor and letters. A Missouri native, he had brief careers as a miner and a river boat pilot before his short stories began to receive widespread notice. He was the keenest wit of his age. He wrote what many call the greatest of American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885).  Through a series of bad investments he lost all of the money he made from his books and a good deal of his wife’s substantial inheritance, which motivated him to begin many years of international speaking tours. The money from these performances eventually overcame his debt and added to his fame. He was a friend and advisor to presidents, scholars, and scientists, Nicola Tesla chief among them. Born when Halley’s Comet was in the sky, he died, as he predicted, when it returned.
