Huge differences...

In essence, Manning passed up going to the best EXISTING team. Lebron screwed over his team and went elsewhere to form a so-called super team.

James was a free agent, how is choosing another team "screwing his team," it's his right to sign where he chooses?

Two big reasons why Peyton is going to be a Bronco. 1) The Donks are willing to give him complete control of their offense. 2) Dollars. This is his last time to score an enormous long term contract playing football. He has a lot of bucks already, and his future, if he can stay healthy overall are bright (he has already assured his legacy), but this is his last chance to earn huge football playing dollars.

The Fivehead will make Tebowmania a distant memory in Denver, for better or worse....

In Denver, Manning is going to run opposing defenses into the ground in that thin atmosphere. Going to Denver to play Manning is going to be death for a lot of teams. They will be 8-0 up there. They finish 13-3 for the season.

Next year's AFC championship is Patriots v. Broncos.

I just don't know which stadium will host it.

What have you been smoking? Puff,Puff pass!

Broncos vs. Patriots is gonna be much more interesting this year

Well, i guess the division favorites are pretty much set. NE/AFCE, Houston/AFCS, Denver AFCW, and Baltimore AFCN, although there will be more debate about the AFCN than the others, with some taking Pitt or Cincy.

San Diego fans have got to be concerned that their window of opportunity has passed them by, they have been the perennial favorites the past 6 years or so and now it will be Denver for the nest few years.

I really don't think we can underestimate how much he did not want to be in a position to keep baby brother from his shots at another SB. Blood is indeed thicker than a lot of things.

I'm always nervous about assigning "division favorites" in March, but yeah, in general you're right there.

However, I think your San Diego point is a bigger story. Rivers is starting his ninth season in the League. If this is curtains on the next two or three years, then Troy Brown and that loss to the Pats in the AFCCG are going to haunt him forever.
