Which season should they use?
I watched the movie Rush for the first time about four weeks ago. For what it's worth, I highly recommend it. It's about the 1976 Formula 1 racing season, and the rivalry between all-time great, Niki Lauda, and one time champion hot-shot James Hunt. FANTASTIC MOVIE. Coincidentally, the soundtrack for Rush is used in the Brady v Manning tribute video below.
So it's the offseason, and maybe some of us could use a break from the stupidity of 0.8 PSI under regulation in cold, rainy conditions.
Which NFL season would you think would make for the best to tell the tale of the greatest QB rivalry in NFL history?
Keep the following in mind:
With Tom Brady being a 4 time Superbowl champion, and winning the head-to-head match ups by an overwhelming margin, it goes without saying that Tom Brady won this rivalry decisively. That said, the season chosen doesn't necessarily have to reflect that, because, like with the movie Rush, a voice-over narration as the movie comes to an end, can set that record straight. Choosing a season where Tom Brady whips Peyton's ass, which would be most of them, isn't really necessary for the purpose of documenting the drama of their rivalry.
At first I was thinking the 2007 season, because it would follow Tom's quest for perfection, they played against each other, and it could end with Tom falling before the Giants pass rush, with Peyton cheering on his ******ed Gomer Pile brother from the luxury box (that irritated the hell out of me, the jealous prick)
But then I thought 2006, however unfortunate a season ender it was, would be better, because they played each other twice that year, it probably represented Peyton's best playoff game (ref ball aside), and could incorporate Peyton praying on the sideline for a win, "since Tom already had 3 rings." It kind of sucks because Indianapolis won both games that season, both for dramatic storytelling purposes, it would probably be the best, because every other season Peyton just gets stomped out, and it wouldn't make a very good movie.
Considering everyone knows Brady owns Manning anyway, 2006 would probably be the one I would choose, but the narration would be Tom-centric, since Peyton actually wins the game, similar to how Rush dealt with the Niki Lauda and James Hunt rivalry.
I suppose if you wanted to just do a Patriots **** yeah movie, you could do the 2003 or 2004 seasons, since the Pats beat on the Colts twice both seasons and Tom wins the Superbowl at the end of each, but it would be short on drama.
