A friend of mine who's a big Kentucky fan came into work a couple of Mondays ago and said this: "This was a terrible weekend. Not only did Kentucky lose to Vanderbilt, but now EVERY UT fan thinks that Tennessee's in the Super Bowl!" (Should I mention that a former Tennessee quarterback beat a former Florida quarterback?)Did Peyton have great stats last night? Did he set any Super Bowl records? No, but he managed the game well, checked off at the line when he needed to, and guided the offense to a win. The MVP could have gone to either Rhodes or Addai. It could have gone to the whole defensive unit. But last night was Peyton's time in the spotlight.
I saw an interview with Archie Manning before yesterday's game. They showed some old film of Peyton from when he was about 3 or 4, playing football with his brothers. They asked Archie if he gave his son any advice, and he said that he didn't give him much. But he said something about the fact that even though this was the Super Bowl, he couldn't help but think that was still his little boy out there playing.
Archie's little boy now has a Super Bowl ring.....
