There goes your Broncos!
I heard you guys rave on about him so many times I thought I would make a point of watching the game.
did he even show up for the game.(raucous laughter)
Thanks for the reply about the use of cortisone in the NFL. They use it here to an most forms of contact sportd as well. It'.s a wonder why its allowed because isn't it enhancing ones performance .
I stated..

You are welcome. Cortisone is used for pain..it is a legal steroid.
I did not see the game.. We have a special service at church the first Sunday of the month in the evening..so I missed the Super Bowl. I'll watch the highlights.
It's your choice to poke fun at Peyton Manning. So be it. I wouldn't. His overall record since 1999 speaks for itself. He's a fine man. And every one has bad days...Unfortunately Super Bowl Sunday was his.

Sorry if I offended you PE about my Manning comment. It was thoughtless of me. I guess it must be the NZ der in me where it has been engrained in us to chop down the most successful.. Its commonly known as the "Tall Poppy Syndromewhere standouts be it sporting, businessmen, academics are kept in check. Its part of the egalitarian society we have carefully cultivated for decades.
It is gradually dying away though.
Commentators over here have stated that he's never played at his best in his previous Super Bowl Matches
But is it used in the right environment that is the question?. With a couple of jabs of Cortisone a contestant will feel immune to pain thus he thinks hes bullet proof, so isn't that enhancing his ability to peform on the day?.
Lets take the Athe recent mens Australian tennis final for eg. where quite a few people believed Nadal went off for a couple of jabs of cortisone for his back which was giving him trouble. A lot of people felt it would have been unjust had he gone on to beat Wawrinkla because of those jabs.
E.P.O. is also legal when used in certain areas but not when used to enhance ones sporting performance.

I had originally wanted to say, "There goes your Peyton Manning. LMFAO!!!".
I changed it at the last second so you could retort.
No apology necessary, and you are correct. His old team, Indianapolis Colts, did win XLI Super Bowl in 2007 with Manning as the quaterback.
Of course.. teams want the players to play.

OK, here is the deal. If any of you sounded your dislike of Manning before the game and predicted that the Broncos would lose the game and these same people started laughing at Manning and making fun of me for choosing Manning when they lost, I would respect you although I don't like it. "I told you so" may hurt but I will take it. However, no one criticized Manning and no one predicted the outcome of the game before the game and when I asked for a poll. All of a sudden, all these people started making fun of Manning when it was clear they lost the game. That is just plain lame. To me, you lose your right to make any comment about a team/a player if you don't make predictions before the game. It's like trying to win the lottery after the winning numbers have been announced.
