I was telling my wife that he sort of reminded me of a combo of Jackie Wilson and James Brown and almost immediately after that he went into his James Brown dance routine! LOL!

His biggest influences are old school musicians such as James Brown, Elvis (you can tell by the hair) and pattern his vocals after MJ. He got his start by doing strictly cover shows, he's covered everybody from Hendrix to Nirvana, I think his best years are yet to come.

Actually his music is geared toward all ages, he was one of the top selling artists last year and 2011. His tour had 72 million in ticket sales last year.

And the Manning choke was on

So much for the AFC, eh? Watch Manning throw for 6000 yards and 70 TDs next year and still get bounced in the divisional round.

My wife & I were wondering the same thing. It would have been nice to hear Under the Bridge.

Say what you want but one is 2-0 in the Super Bowl and the other is 1-2, would be 0-3 if practically any QB but Rex Grossman were on the Bears that year.

I know, was just taking the opportunity to slam Peyton again. He's basically Romo with better numbers and a little more post-season success. Can you imagine how much Romo would be hated if we got smoked in the Super Bowl like that?

You'd have to make the playoffs first.

Peyton is Romo with better numbers and having regular season success. Romo is 63-45 as a starter, and 25-28 in the last 4 seasons. Peyton is 50-14 in his last 4 seasons. It's laughable to compare the 2.

Peyton has lost more than 6 games in a season twice in his career. Romo has lost at least 6 games each of the last 3 years, and he was 1-5 4 years ago.

I do not like Romo that much but Manning is not as good as his numbers would suggest, just look at his post-season numbers, or even just his numbers when the temperature is under 40 degrees at kick-off. I could actually see Romo on a team like San Francisco doing much better than he's done so far in Dallas, even at the age of 34.

Lots of people could do better on better teams. Put Peyton on Seattle, and they're 32-0 with 2 SBs the last 2 seasons.

THIS is what I've been saying about Romo for the longest time. Put Romo on a team like SF or the Patriots and I guarantee you he'd at least have a ring on his résumé. I blame all of the cowboys failure on Jerry Jones, no one else, not even Garrett.

Seriously lol. Peyton had a great team to lead this year and he choked so bad with them. Unbelievably crushed. Peyton is absolutely overrated. This game exemplifies Peyton's career.

Manning is just not that good when he plays against teams that hit his receivers and the Seahawks will maul your receivers up and down the field, still thought this game would be a bit closer than it was. Ugh was not happy about seeing that tool Pete Carroll holding up the Lombardi Trophy.

He had a great set of receivers, but he hasn't had an O-line all year and he's had a terrible D.

He was under pressure all game against a great defense. But he didn't cause the 4 fumbles. He threw a high ball that got picked, and he got hit causing another. But after the first 2 drives, he wasn't what prevented his team from going anywhere. Not to mention he has a D that stopped the Seahawks once? Twice?

Back when Peyton was making his decision about where he was going to sign I said San Francisco was likely his best shot at winning a title. I still think that would have been the case. Of course the Niners were probably better off long-term without Peyton as Kaepernick wouldn't have had his chance if they signed Peyton.

I don't get all the hate towards Carroll. Really, what is it people hate about him so much? He was great at USC and has been great with Seattle. I like the fact that he looks like he's having fun on the sidelines and his players like him. It's like people think every head coach should be as angry all the time as Harbaugh or sour and boring as Belichick.

He set passing records like crazy this year. Yet gets absolutely smoked in the most important game. He constantly checked down to short to intermediate passes and running the ball. He was overthrowing his receivers like crazy. He never challenged any of the Seattle defenders with long passes. Your down 28. How about you don't audible to a run... He played like shit. Stop defending him. Honestly, he's overrated.

When you come up really short in the playoffs so many times it's hard for me to not look at you as inflated stats against subpar competition.

Just look at the point totals in some of the worst playoff losses, 0, 3, 8, and under 18 in 6 others. Maybe the defense did play poorly, but what is the excuse for scoring so little when the offense is seemingly set up for you to get an MVP every other season.

He's a timing QB that doesn't scramble well, hit his receivers a lot and he folds like a cheap blanket. That's why I compared him to Romo, Romo is also a timing QB, which is why at times it looks as if Romo missed the receiver by a mile.
