AFC Championship

The AFC Championship, here it came and there it went with all the excitement that it brings to its viewers every year. Every division has phenomenal teams in the AFC; the South is no surprise that the Colts were in this familiar situation, as for the Jets where did they come from? A wild-card advances this far with such a young quarterback, impressive to say the least. But what were they trying to pull. It’s time for the post game:

Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts will be getting the microphone after is star studded performance yesterday. I say this for three reasons. First, because of his numbers during the game. He was 26 of 39 on the day for 377 yards. This made him the first player to ever record 7 postseason games with 3oo+ passing yards surpassing Kurt Warner and the great Joe Montana. He also finished with three passing touchdowns and rallied from an 11 point deficit early on. Second, is because of his overall resume? He is a 4-time MVP of the league, including this year, and was just in the Super Bowl three years ago when he tore apart the Bears and was the MVP of the game as well. Third reason is because they kept a camera on him constantly throughout the game and it was something for younger quarterbacks to watch. Watching him on the sidelines during the 4th quarter of the game, what’s he doing? Wearing his helmet and playing catch to stay focused. He is the BEST in the National Football League, but he isn’t running his mouth about a former college coach (Mark Sanchez), no he is getting his team to rally behind his example and want to win for him. So that is just what they went on to do.

This Sunday Rex Ryan is getting left alone. What an embarrassment he is to the entire Jets organization. This wild clown once claimed his team was the Super Bowl favorites back before the playoffs had even began. Really? Really?? Who does that, guess he should have knocked on a little harder wood after that statement. Here is another reason why I wouldn’t have interviewed him after the game, he was quoted as saying about the Colts post-game, “You have to give credit to the Colts. Obviously they’re the cream of the crop right now.” Who says that? I’d like to see Peyton win another ring but for that simple statement I hope the Colts lose and then see what Rex Ryan has to say about his team. Another reason he doesn’t gets left alone is for his role in the merchandising industry, you know where he was actually wearing and selling gear that celebrated their AFC Championship! Next year, I think I’d play the game rather than just simulate it in your head if you’re going to vest in job like that one. Now do the honorable thing and walk out of Indianapolis with your head down due to stupidity, take your big mouthed rookie quarterback with you, and burn your closing line. Then come back next year and prove this wasn’t just luck.
