Damn I hate all them A-rabs because of that stunt that Osama pulled back in '01!! 
Peyton and Eli are about as far apart as two brothers can get in this league. Petyon breaks one of the toughest records in football and doesn't even celebrate for a second... Peyton established a charity that gives thousands of dollars every year to the local community... Peyton truly is a class act. Sure Favre battled back from painkiller addiction, but Manning was never addicted in the first place!!
And to all you haters out there who say the Colts can't do it, I say here's your proof:
Peyton has the biggest team turnaround in league history (3-13 to 13-3 in 98-99), and the biggest 4th quarter comeback (against the Bucs).
He's well on his way to becoming the 2nd back-to-back MVP winner since... Brett Favre!
He has the TD record that most thought would stand for decades (here's a good article about the achievement), he's the 2nd fastest ever to 200 TDs in his career (behind Marino), and he's thrown for over 4,000 yards in 5 straight seasons, breaking the previous record of 4 held by... Peyton Manning. No other quarterback in league history has had more than 3.
He's on his way to breaking Steve Young's passer-rating record for the season, and he's the only quarterback in history to throw three "perfect games" (a rating of 158.3).
He entered the Hall of Fame's top 20 passer ranking in his THIRD season in the league. He owns a franchise record of six TDs in one game (and this is a franchise, lets not forget, that boasts of Johnny Unitas...) and a smattering of other franchise records.
In 7 seasons, Peyton has 216 TDs and 120 Ints (a 1.8 ratio, with 49/10 this season, a 4.9 ratio). Favre has a 1.65 ratio for his career and 1.64 for the season.
Face it... Peyton is well on his way to being the best passer the NFL has ever seen!
But not just that... we have the #2 rusher in the league. 4th team in history with 3 receivers over 1,000 yds, and the first team in history with 3 receivers with 10 TDs. The most accurate FG kicker in NFL history (and one of 4 with a perfect season), the best position punter in the league, and Dwight Freeney, the leading sacker.
If Eli Manning can come within a play of beating the Steelers, and the flippin' DOLPHINS can beat the Pats, then you're only kidding yourself to think that the Colts can't win the Superbowl.
I'm guessing a lot people's egos and penises will be a lot smaller after reading this.. Definitely a good comeback..
