Josh Deemers, 37, of Indianapolis, Indiana wrote another piece for BleacherReport, comparing Manning to Brady.

"This article is different from my other 503," said the BleacherReport Senior Writer. "This time I compare them in night games when leading in the 3rd quarter in October on even numbered days.  I can see how this can be confused with the when leading in the 3rd quarter in night games in October on odd numbered days since the raw data is similar."

"So what is the result?" I ask.

"I figured with the media's constant praise of Brady you'd have to ask," he said. "It is not even close. Peyton is a laugher. The interceptions are the same and Peyton has more yards and more touch downs."

"What if they are trailing?" I asked.

"Get out of my room!" he said. "I knew I should not have invited a Patriot humor writer to dinner. You're gonna miss my mom's meatloaf."

I apologized. (Hey, I like meatloaf.) I tried a different tack. "What media?"

"You know," he said.

I didn't say that if I did know I wouldn't ask, because these mid-western types might think pointing out the obvious is rude.  I guess I'm not as good on egg shells as I think.

"Is that the same media that insisted Brady was a 'system quarter back' or the media who elects Peyton MVP in 2008 when he did not lead the league in any passing category?"

Apparently that was rude, too, as he just pointed at the door.

As I left, I asked what else he had planned.

He kept pointing at the door and said he was going to prove that Tom Brady is the worst quarter back in the league, "well, except for Roethlisbergerr."

Josh Deemers is fictional and quotes are made up. Any resemblance to any writer here is unfortunate. This is satire/humor despite an ignoramus editor who might remove the humor tag while I'm sleeping.

Oh, I spelled out 'quarter back' because Bleacher Report thinks readers are too stupid to figure out what a QB is and then an ignoramus who signed up yesterday can change the tags that are kind of important.

For editors: Peyton Manning plays for the Indy Colts in the AFC South; Tom Brady Plays for the New England Patriots in the AFC East.  Removing those tags proves something about you.
