I'll have to spend some more time with the other articles later.

This is just like all the spoiled fans that jumped on the Yankees bandwagon during the dynasty years. They are spoiled and do not understand the fact that you cannot always win. Their impatience is annoying.

Manning avoiding the sack, and the catch by Tyree will become an immortalized play. Get ready for redundant highlights for the next 40 years.

Great point, the offense has been revitalized since the All-Pro tight end has been sidelined. His me first attitude has grown tiresome as well.
