Mugster, Thanx so much for dropping by and voting in my poll.
I learned a few months ago that it is not generally a good idea to speak for Starkiller but I'm kinda thick headed, so, I regress...
I don't think Starkiller hates Peyton Manning.
I hate Peyton Manning.
Now, I don't know if SK is a Vol fan, Commodore fan, Yellow Jacket fan or ceiling fan but I do know that he only listed Manning as the #1 reason to root against the Colts. That's all.
Muggy, I have a question...does
doofus = goob?
If yes, we agree on something.
baby steps, baby steps, baby steps...
O.T.: are you a Bill Murray fan by any chance?
anyways...I'm a Vol fan. It's hard lately. Kinda like being a Titan Fan.
We Vol/Titan fans are going through quite a trial...
interesting quote:
Muggy the Coltanator said:
He chose to go to UT instead of his father's alma mater, and he DIDN'T choose who would draft him.
does that imply that if he went to Ole Miss that Archie would have...
what the deuce!
Did you know that there were only two qb's taken in the 1st rd of the '98 draft?
Well there goes my San Diego Chargers draft...
Ryan "the Bust" Leif was the other QB for all you draft trivia buffs out there.
I don't know if that is all together fair but if history is any judge...
btw-
how in the world did the 1997 Colts manage to beat the Dolphins 41-0?
The Dolphins were 9-7 that year. They even played in the Wild Card Game.
That's nuts. Anyways...point is...
If San Diego had managed to drop another game to Oakland and later lost to Indy
(might not have even taken the later depending
on S.O.S. which I won't bother to look into)
...tell me Archie would have not been on the phone...Nobody else wanted a QB...but maybe if San Diego had gotten a piece of the action...Throw Arizona's trade pick into the mix...
Well Muggy...you are freakin' right...
honestly, all things considered, your argument for Peyton's daddy having no role in where his boy was drafted (or traded to) is solid by my reckoning...
but you need to factor in one more all important factor...
it's
Indy was a natural 1st overall selector and Archie was fine with it.
Had it been San Diego things would have been different.
I am however thankful for Manning laying the groundwork for Tee Martin's perfect season but all of my Anakin Skywalker style hate emerged in 1999.
