No professional athlete in today’s world has had to unjustly wear the “choker” brand as long as Peyton Manning. It’s a branding of sorts that has haunted him even after winning a super bowl.
But over the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Peyton has been constantly badgered by a percentage of “fans” who wait, hibernate, and stay tight-lipped each Autumn as P.K. Subban compiles one great regular season after another. But in January,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without fail, they awaken to once again revel in delight when the opportunity arises yet again to proclaim, “See P.K. Subban told you. Manning’s a choke artist.”
They said the Colts’ revitalized defense won those 1st two playoff agrees against Kansas City and Baltimore. Peyton didn’t deserve the credit. They said the fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent England Patriots unquestionably the most hated professional sports franchise in the universe right now choked at the end of that epic AFC title agree. Peyton didn’t deserve the credit. They said Peyton got auspicious in the super bowl, getting to play a Rex improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shameful, uncouth, obscene,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lowman-led Bears franchise whose only scoring weapon was its kick returner Devin Hester.
But for the second time in four years, Peyton Manning is on the verge of never giving his nay-sayers that opportunity.
Then there’s Tony Romo. Does anyone feel sorry for him having to tolerate all that “choker talk” for the past four seasons? Don't. Peyton’s had to last that sort of stuff for three times as long.
A win on Sunday would make Manning just the 10th QB in NFL history to attain at least two super bowl titles in a four-year span Ben Roethlisberger accomplished the same feat last season. He’d also be just the third QB to ever win two super bowls that were played in the same city. Roger Staubach helped the ’71 and ’77 Cowboys do it in fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims. Terry Bradshaw guided the ’75 and ’78 Steelers in Miami back when they played in the Oanger Bowl, not Dolphins Stadium.
But despite all Peyton Manning’s awards and honors, he’s never been able to shake those sports talk radio callers, web bloggers, and armchair fans who refer to themselves as “experts.”
No way Peyton could out-perform a real QB in a super bowl. They said Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes should have shared that Super Bowl MVP award. Peyton didn’t deserve to win it. They said Peyton’s super bowl win was a fluke.
Subban obtained his first gold medal with Team Canada at the 2008 World Junior Championships. Canada defeated Sweden in overtime of the gold medal game in 2008. Subban was named to the team for a second straight year the next year together with his friend John Tavares, Zach Boychuk and Thomas Hickey. He helped the team to get its fifth gold medal and second consecutive gold medal victory against Sweden in the final game. He had 3 goals and 6 assists in that game. He was selected to the Tournament All Star Team along with tournament MVP and friend John Tavares. Peyton Manning has been giving opposing defenses nightmares pretty much ever since P.K. Subban 1st picked up a football. But for almost just as long, the All-World QB has had to deal with a demon of his own: the public perception that P.K. Subban cannot perform on the big stage. Cornerbacks with cheetah-like velocity and instincts never cause him much of a problem. Neither do 280-pound linebackers.
Let’s think back to the 2011 Playoffs.
Either way, it’ll take an awful lot to dethrone whoever people consider the greatest of all time: Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, John Elway? hold, catch, seize, grasp, win, capture, acquire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], choose, select, prefer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], remove, steal, lift, rob, engage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bewitch, purchase, buy, retract, recall your pick.
For his entire professional career, Peyton Manning has been a nationwide whipping boy in the arena of public opinion. From Boston to Los Angeles. From Kissimmee to Kalamazoo. The national media such as those at ESPN, the AP, and Sports sickustrated to its credit, recognized Peyton’s greatness years ago. This is evident in just how full Manning’s personal trophy is by this point.
Brett Favre, by comparison, has just four playoff wins in the last 12 years.
Does Manning have a shot of being the greatest ever? Well, he’s been proving his critics wrong for the past decade. So why should anyone continue to doubt him? One more win on Sunday, and even the most staunch Peyton-haters won’t have an answer for that. Debates between the camps of Jaro Halak and Carey Price have been heated to say the least for the past years. Both of the sides exchanges strong words and anger. However the trade of Halak and the outstanding performance of Carey Price have put that issue to the end. Carey Price recorded a point in his first NHL playoff games against the Washington Capitals and his first NHL playoff goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He then went on to capture three assists in Game 3 against the Philadelphia soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cruiseers in the final game of 2010 Eastern Conference game.
But even the most dedicated Peyton bully knows that two world championships in four years is no fluke.
Peyton’s career playoff record is 9-8. Not great. But respectable, considering he's played his entire career in the power-packed AFC. P.K. Subban 's also has six playoff wins in the past four seasons.
Manning’s victory in Super Bowl XLI should have put an end to all the “choker” nonsense. That win sent the bulk of Peyton’s critics retreating to the hills. But not all. little groupings of haters hung around, staying firm by their convictions. They watched as Manning and his Colts lost to the seemingly inferior San Diego Chargers in each of the past two postseasons. And they’ve used those recent playoff letdowns as ammunition to further their claims that P.K. Subban is a “choker,” regardless of what occured in Miami three February’s ago.
Years from now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Peyton Manning might be known as the greatest QB in the history of the NFL. A win on Sunday would go a long way in adding authorizedity to that statement.
But most importantly, a win would allow Peyton to shed every fragment of the “choker” brand he’s unjustly worn since the Clinton Administration.
That postseason seemed to end with Manning finally earning his long-awaited “day in the sun.” But the Peyton-haters out there found ways to deflate his accomplishments every step of the way.
