Whitlock

Yep.

 

Is it me or did every Super Bowl involving the Minnesota Vikings suck? All due respect here to the Steelers, Raiders, Chiefs and whoever beat them the other time.

 

Dolphins were the other team.

And Vikings sucked royally against them, too.

 

Most ironic part about this subject? Behold the Comic Book Guy dialogue this lead sprung from:

Last night's Itchy & Scratchy was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever. Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world.

 

Jeff George told Whitlock to still be pissed at the Colts.

 

you people are too easy.

 

The game was a total friggin disaster, a real embarrassment for that kind of stage. But, man, you have to find something better to write about than that.

 

you put the dic into predictable.

 

Let's go back two weeks.

Assume Bears-Saints had been played in those conditions.

Would there be all this hand-wringing?

I can't figure this board out.

Half the people want the freaking game played in Denver or Seattle or (God forbid) Green Bay; the other half get pissed if a foggy camera lens screws up their precious HD experience.

It's. Just. A. Football. Game.

 

Oh, come on Columbo...can't you see he wanted to be ripped. It was all a plan by a man whose genius is beyond our capacity to understand.

Or maybe he's just full of shit.

 

The game was fine. It was the CBS telecast that was a disaster.

Whitlock I think you are being to hard on Peyton Manning. As any good QB would, you take what the defense gives you. The Bears were so concerned about taking away deep passes and seam passes to Dallas Clark that they left flat wide open. Bears LB's were taking ridicules drops which left check off passes to Addai wide open with a lot of room to run after catching ball. Manning was able to exploit it.

You're a football guy. I am surprised that you did not show a better appreciation for this strategy.

 

Our columnist made a good point today ... that Manning was getting a bit too much credit for this title, just as another quarterback got a bit too much credit for winning Super Bowl III.

Matt Snell did the heavy lifting for the Jets in '68. Addai and Rhodes did the heavy lifting Sunday night.

But the Namath and Manning storylines were self-fulfilling.
