Peyton Manning has ALWAYS been surrounded by exceptional talent, right? Accurate or not, it happens to be the belief that many football fans have adopted as fact. If you've ever wondered how much support Peyton Manning has really had over the course of his career, you'll find out here...

Enough criticizing The Legacy. Find out why Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase are not being taken advantage of, why we should credit Randy Orton for his patience, and how this Super-Stable is right on track to achieve their destiny...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/160705-state-of-the-legacy-why-the-super-stable-is-right-on-track-for-destiny

Any thoughts you might have on the situation would be of the utmost value.

Who was better, Joe Montana or Steve Young?

My latest article takes a deep look inside the numbers to find an answer to that very difficult question. I did more research for this article than any other I have ever written.

If you get the chance, please take a look and let me know what you think. I'd really like to hear everyone's opinion on the topic. Hope you enjoy it!

This is a new one for me. It's not an NFL article. It's not an MLB article. It's not even a Top 10 list.

This is the story of one of the most incredible athletes I have ever heard about. I bought his autobiography a week ago and read the entire thing in one sitting. Check this out if you get a chance!

Some of the best players in NFL history have been completely forgotten simply because they played football two or three generations ago. Unlike baseball, football is all about the present day. Fans are raised to believe that the greatest players are all from their time period, so it's puzzling to me when I hear Jerry Rice unanimously declared the greatest wide receiver in history...because....well, he wasn't.

A week ago, I wrote an article about the greatest quarterback seasons in NFL history. Now I'm on to the second part of my NFL top 10 lists: the running backs.

Tom Brady was actually played better during the years when the Patriots failed to win Super Bowls. While Brady himself performed at a higher level, that was not always the case for the rest of his team. Despite not being as successful in terms of winning championships, Tom Brady as an individual became a better player.

Was he better for having been more productive or worse for having failed to reach the same levels of success? You be the judge...

Thanks,

Hey Eric,

Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.
