Hehe - How did Peyton play outside last night???? Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

and how did your precious bears play outside last night????

tripped, slipped, dropped, flopped, picked, sucked, and lost. maybe you should re-write your blog to reflect reality

Ok Mr. Anonymous lets talk reality!!!!! Payton Manning’s season average passer rating when he is playing indoors is 112.0. Last night his passer rating was 81.8, which is far from “Grrrrrrrrrrreat!” In fact, last week I predicted that Manning’s rating yesterday would be 23.4 points lower than his average Looks like my prediction was close but he was actually worse last night than I thought.

Now let’s look at pass completions. This is absolutely hysterical because my pass completion percentage was actually higher than Manning’s!!!!! Maybe because I don’t lick my fingers as much as he does. I was 20 for 28 (71%), while Manning was 25 for 38 (66%) in between licking his hands.

So why on earth did he get the MVP last night? I threw 2 TD passes (unfortunately one for the Colts) and he only threw one. I was the giving the Colts excellent field position by dropping several snaps from a pro bowl center. So why did he get the MVP….. Because the Roger Goodell and Archie Manning are having a homosexual affair and this forces NFL to gush about all things Manning. They even love Cooper Manning who is a lazy cripple.

Question and Answer

Ok, a couple of you have asked me some questions and I will try to answer them here. Hopefully I am not too drunk from last night’s jager fest with Kyle.

Rex,

I'm happy to see you two kids had some fun last night. I bet it brought back
memories of your time with me at Florida, minus the lines of coke of course. So
Rexy, I was wondering. What's your prediction for this weekend's SEC
Championship game against the Hogs? You know, they play that game indoors too
and I can't figure out how they grow that grass in a dome either. Them people in
Georgia are so smart.

Go Gators!

Ron,
I hope you are doing well, the weather in Illinois sucks compared to down south but at least they have good bars. I think they use that NASA grass in the Georgia Dome. Since NASA is located in Florida (I can’t remember where) I would have to put my money on Florida to win the SEC championship game…..not that I bet on college football……lol

I miss you,
Rex

Dear Rex,

The Bears have 19 tournovers in the last 7 weeks and you've thrown low
percentage, high risk passes very often, which has led to a few of these
turnovers because your balls haven't been thrown crisply. What are you going to
do different to your balls this week so the Vikings can't grab
them?

Sincerely,

Concerned in Austin

Concerned,

Thanks for your concern. I learned in college that having non-crisp balls can lead to interceptions but I had no idea how important the crispness of balls would be in the NFL. On Sunday I need to make sure that I throw my passes as crisp as possible. Coach Smith has been showing me this all week and Orton demonstrated last night in between shots of jager. Don’t forget that un-crisp balls aren’t the only way to loose a football game, dropping a snap from a pro-bowl center on your opponents 6 yard line doesn’t help win games either.

Go Bears!!!
