Peyton Who?

But I’m strong, strong enough to carry him, yeah.  He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.  -The Hollies

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Horton hears a what?  Peyton Williams who?  We know all about him.  We know all about the six-five, 230-pound quarterback with the laser rocket arm.  What about Eli?  What about the guy with his sights set on his second straight Super Bowl?  If little Eli does accomplish this feat, which branch upon the Manning family tree does he perch?

Quarterbacks Of The Last 50 years In Professional Football Who Have Won Two Titles In A Row:

• Johnny Unitas
• Bart Starr
• Bob Griese
• Terry Bradshaw
• Joe Montana
• Troy Aikman
• Tom Brady

That’s some list.  That’s a legendary list.  All on that list except Tom Terrific are in the Canton.  Brady will be.  I don’t see Peyton Williams Manning on that list.  Peyton’s accomplishments in this league are much ballyhooed.  The hip hip hooray and ballyhoo.  The lullaby of Broadway.  But we all know what Duke Ellington knows.  We all know It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got them rings.  Ba ba doo dah doo.

Public Spectacle:

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
