peyton manning soon if not already
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely Peyton Manning! No disrespect to any other HUMAN who has worn #18, but it comes a time when you gotta recognize.
ReplyDeleteI agree, It's gotta be Peyton.
ReplyDeletescrew peyton
ReplyDeleteClearly the rule is no active players. It will be Payton even if he breaks both his knees tomorrow. That said, can we lay off college players? Four years is not enough time to be the best at anything.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand Peyton Manning, but Dave Cowens? Are you kidding? Manning hands down.
ReplyDeleteI am a patriots fan, absolutely hate the guy, but i respect him... manning wins..and he makes go commercials
ReplyDeleteHe had a chance to be the best, but came up quite short. Darryl Strawberry was still the most exciting guy that I've ever seen when he had a bat in his hand, and I've been watching baseball a pretty long time. Bonds and McGwire were fun too and would have loved to see Ruth.
ReplyDeleteIf you can put Jete, you can put Peyton
ReplyDeletei thought it was peyton
ReplyDeleteThis saddens me to say, but yea its Peyton... not a great deal of competition with #18
ReplyDeleteManning is #1 at #18 for sure, but second place (and former first place) should be Denis Savard, not Dave Cowens!
