.... help him get the super bowl that is.
Maybe this has been posted but I didn't see it.
Clayton reports:
8. Peyton Manning will have his best postseason thanks to the league's recent rule change that allows quarterbacks to handle the balls prior to games. This is huge. Quarterbacks won't be able to practice with them, but they'll be given game balls early enough during the week that they'll be able to rub them down and make them easier to grip. The process will continue through the conference championship games. Manning can't blame slick footballs for his poor play in playoff games, and he will have a comfort level in those games he's never had before. A confident Manning is a dangerous Manning because few quarterbacks can get on a roll as well as he can. Manning needs to get through his playoff struggles, and this little change will help.
I think Brady likes this idea also and was part of the QB movement to
inspire this change. They should have left it the way it was. IMO
Why just the playoffs? why not regular season games also?
So John, rubbing the football will make manning "confident"? Maybe he'll
get his genie in the football to come out and help him.
Peyton should stick to being a cheerleader like he was in that commercial.
