Congratulations to Peyton Manning for winning his 119th game as starting quarterback! Peyton seems like such a class act guy, and comes from good breeding, obviously. As I was watching the Mike & Mike show on ESPN this morning they were comparing Manning to Johnny Unitas because he broke his record for QB wins. That is so annoying to me. Can they ever just let a man accomplish something without having to steal his thunder and compare him to the ancients? They even asked Peyton last night about Unitas in his post game interview, I felt sorry for him, but he graciously answered the questions. I can't recall things being so comparative back in the day, when Joe Namath and Joe Theismann were playing. I'd say the players nowadays are breaking more records now than they did back then, but analysts just won't give them their due---at least they won't without also having to come back and remind them that someone else, long ago was better. What gives??? Anyway, hats off to our 21st century phenoms! It's truly a new day!!
