I think Peyton Mannig is pretty much the most incredible QB the NFL has ever seen, and a real class act to boot.

After yesterday's game I felt really bad for him, as it seems he's on his way to becoming nothing but a joke in NFL history. "The greatest player to never get to a Super Bowl." For a football player that's about the worst thing imagineable. Every stat, every record, a command of the game second to none, and he just can't get there.

You could see it on his face when Vanderjagt missed the field goal. A disappointed smile. That's about all you can do - it's at a point where the Colts are becoming a joke, the farce of the NFL every time playoff season rolls around.

I just hate seeing guys like Dungy and Manning, Harrison and Wayne keep coming up short when it matters most. - guys who seem to really epitomize what football is all about, guys who are humble and professional and at the same time some of the best at what they do in the history of the NFL.
