No one with Manning on his back is tough. Both of them go into the fetal position at the first sign of a pass rush. Eli throws off his back foot, while Peyton starts wincing before any contact is even made.
I actually kinda like Theisman. Yes he's nasal and obnoxious, but I think he generally knows what he's talking about so I can deal. Jaworski I always wonder why he's there, he's always the 3rd or 4th wheel in any conversation and he generally adds nothing. Whenever I see the guy I think some insurance broker won an "appear on an NFL broadcast!" contest at a sales convention.
Not liking Phil Simms is kind of like not liking oatmeal. He's bland and inoffensive, but he's not putting over a phony I'M RIGHT AND I'M A TOUGH GUY schtick. Like when Matt Millen says anything. YOU'RE A RECEIVER YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE BALL. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE MOST POINTS ON THE BOARD. YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT TACKLE. I guess they didn't think of those things at the time, thanks Matt.
Aikman is fine. My favourite part is that he seems to put forward a subconscious anti-Cowboys pro-Giants slant after retiring. It's awesome.
It's called toughness, son.Originally Posted by dave is ok

When you never get hit like Peyton, yes. I'll grant him that his quick delivery has a lot to do with that, but he's not exactly playing with eight injuries like Favre has been known to do. Toughness was Emmitt Smith playing with a separated shoulder to win the division from the Giants in overtime of the last game of the season or the Jets' receiver (can't remember which it was) that pulled his groin and kept going this season. There are very, very few tough QBs, and the Mannings aren't on the list.
I bet Drew Brees and Romo are.
So apparently the HHH Metrodome roof collapsed because of the snow. No word on when the Giants and Vikes will get the game in.
Have the Vikings had the goofiest NFL season of all time?

New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings will play at 7:20 p.m. ET on Monday at Detroit's Ford Field.
The game will be aired on local FOX affiliates in NY and Minny, plus also on DirecTV Sunday Ticket.
SO Favre says the streak would have ended today if they were forced to play, now he gets another day and a bit to rest it and recover.
