And he hands the ball off beautifully.
There were so much that you wanted to scream into the radio for. Did any callers repudiate any of what was said or were only the regular sheep allowed in. I was fortunate enough to be able to walk away after about 5 minutes.
Is Prisco an ESPNer, because BSPN is doing some major spin doctoring this week. They spent an inordinate time discussing Brady being a crybaby, and today Felger and Mazz was shilling an ESPN piece that opines that All the stats that we like to use to show the gap between Manning and Brady can be explained, and really Manning is better or at least as good as Brady.
I have to admit that on the surface the guy did a good job of spin doctoring. Some of the stats actually seem to make some sense. However if you go beneath the surface just a bit you can see how stats were selectively used and as we all know you can use certain stats to make Dalton a better QB than Manning, Brady, AND Rodgers.
I'll just give you on example. He makes a big deal that the Pats won 3 of their superbowls by only a FG. He neglects to mention that if Veneteri didn't miss 2 FG's early in the game they never would have needed his game winner later. And neglect to mention the garbage time TD Philly got at the end of the game to get them to within 3 in a game the Pats fully controlled.
He mentions that both Manning and Brady have 2 picks at the end of playoff games. Yet ignores that one of Brady's was in the 2006 game in Indy when the Pats were down with under 30 seconds on their own 20 and Brady was firing up prayers, while Manning gave the ball to the Ravens for their OT win.
There are many other and a lot were clever, but definitely spin doctoring and stat manipulation of the highest order. Like Hitler was a really misunderstood, just let me give you the German unemployment stats between 1933 and 39 and you'll see what I mean.
Without the pumped in noise, some horrendous PI calls and non-calls, the flu and a bad spot, and he wouldn't even been able to HAVE the 2nd worst QB stats for a winning QB in a superbowl.

Again it seems to me that BSPN is making a concerted effort to rehabilitate Manning at Brady's expense. HGH in never a story, but the back pages of NYC tabloids are.
Minor edit in bold.
Prisco is an idiot.
