“Wait a second, what’s this? Manning’s corner is throwing in the towel for the 15th round! The referee is stopping the fight!!! It’s ov-ah! It’s ov-ah!!!!! The winner and eternal best QB of his generation … TOM F---KING BRADY!!!!!!”
—Howard Cosell

I liked it It isn't a perfect article, but I still liked it.

The mailbag in Part 2 has a lot to recommend it as well. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/that-championship-mailbag-2015-edition/ I'm thinking specifically of the "Broncos quit" parts.

How can he say Manning won in 2002? First, they did not make play head to head but they did make the playoffs, but as usual, that was another one and done year for him. To the Jets. 41-0. If that is winning, manning is one real winner.

Brady dominated Peyton in the 2012 head to head, as well.

Like I said, it isn't perfect. It tries to build up Peyton more than he deserves

You're talking about a year in which the only times either QB accomplished anything were during the regular season. Is it really that hard to believe Manning "won" a regular season over Brady?

With that said, the letters are fantastic. Just pure gold.

You missed the big part. It might have changed since I saw it, but...TIED going into the 15th round?

I know Simmons did not write the tittle, but he owns the friggen site doesn't he. (It is Grantland, not E!SPN.)

Gesh, Manning was eating canvas and saved by the bell in like 10 of 14 rounds. What the heck does he have to do to get a bit of respect from BILL SIMMON"S OWN SITE.

Yes, he has manning winning last year - I say that was a tie.

But skip the first page all together and read the second page. Just pure magic. I laughed so hard I actually sht my pants.

simmons is a major ****y. he wants to say it loud and clear, but he always sugar coat things for peyton. grow a pair and say it like you mean it.

IIRC, at the beginning of the season, Simmons was saying something like:

"Manning is the greatest QB of this generation and probably the GOAT. Brady is second best and there's nothing wrong with that..."

Amazing how quickly one playoff game changes the entire narrative of history.

Hive mind. He had to say that to go along with national media `to be safe`.

It's what all hacks do.

THe article is funny, Manning isn't close to Brady as a reg season QB. Brady has a .774 winning % in the reg season, Manning has a .699 winning %, Brady's TEAMS have outscored Manning by 1+ppg more over their careers. How the hell is Manning a better reg season QB? Just because he has more 1 yd TD passes instead of hand offs?

Simmons know BasketB well but is clueless when it comes to FB.

He gives Manning too much credit

Seems appropriate to post this again here.

How points are scored in Boxing

• Clean punching: “Clean” punches are punches that land on the face/side of the head and the front/side of the torso.

• Effective aggressiveness: A boxer demonstrates this trait when he consistently and successfully moves forward in a controlled manner.

• Ring generalship: The judges favor the fighter who controls the pace and style of the bout.

• Defense: Boxers that skillfully incorporate defensive maneuvers receive credit in this area.

I love people who make gifs that have nothing to do with reality.

HTF does Manning win 2012?

I love Brady more than anybody short of tattooing his name inside my lip, but I still find this gif quite funny and hardly an insult to Brady at all.
