At least Sports Illustrated likes us! (5 Ratings)


I see that others have read this list and remarked on it as well....Take a look, I found myself nodding along.....

 

Player of the DecadePeyton Manning.  ( I almost don't even care about the rest of their picks!!  Thank you SI!) 

 

Best GMBill Polian   (Way to look beyond the first round of the draft EVERY year!  Thanks Bill.)

 

Best Regular Season GameColts, Tampa Bay, Oct. 6, 2003.  ( That's my game--I mention it ALL THE TIME.  That's when I thought...a game is NEVER over until it's OVER.)

 

Best Playoff Game (Non Super Bowl):  Steelers, Colts, 2005 AFC Game.   (Okay, this one hurts, a lot.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  In fact, I sprained my boyfriend's younger brother's arm watching when Roethlisberger made that tackle.  And Vanderjagt actually made me cry!)

 

Best Team Rivalry:  Colts v. Pats  (Need I say more?  I think my heart stops for the entirety of each game between these two teams.)

 

Best Individual RivalryPeyton v. Tom  (Haha...not anymore!)

Plus, on SI.com, there's the Top 10 NFL Games of the 2000's Decade.  You know which game made no. 3, don't you?!?!?    Yeah, you do.  Actually, we probably could've been higher!

And that terrible game made no. 6.  Sniff.  =(

"Sports Illustrated" is obviously less biased in their reporting than ESPN !!  But - the selection of Peyton Manning and Bill Polian are really "no brainers" !!  Based on that criteria - you'd think that ESPN could get it right - now wouldn't you ???

The numbers don't lie, we have to appreciate the magnitude of what this team has accomplished.
