Earn some respect first by proving it on the field over the course of the regular season is all I'm saying. They're not among the 'elite' teams yet and to listen to announcers cooing about them is annoying to me.

A different but just as annoying group of sports commentators are the ones that go on and on about how great the Colts and Peyton Manning are going to be every year and this year is their year...yadda...yadda...yadda. GOD forbid if Peyton actually does make it to the Super Bowl and win...he'll be the # 1 QB of all time regardless if he ever makes it back to the big show. Tom Brady and the Pats can win two or three more SB's but I'm sure it'd pale to Payton winning the SB just once to this annoying gaggle of ball hugging sports aficionados! Until Payton wins it all and then some he'll be just another Dan Marino. "Not that's there's anything wrong with that..."

Anyway...

Last night I was looking forward to checking out this years Dolphins and Panthers...I wanted to see some good football...not tune in to listen to the Nick and Daunte show.

Then by default he will: Lose?

Last time i checked you don't play the game to lose. If saban can engineer a way to have his cake and eat it to then props to him...

That argument was thinner than Nicole Richie.
