New Enlgand freedom at 9:29pm

It's time to be very clear about what took place sunday night at 9:29pm. Peyton Manning probably made the worst mistake of his career thus far. To throw the ball going backwards off your left foot is almost always disastrous. To do it in the superbowl when you are about to be crowned greatest quarterback EVER is monumentally catastrophic. Up until then Manning(and I'd hate to say it) looked like a world beater. It seemed this season that it became "Peyton time" when losing by a TD or less with three or so minutes left in a game. He made you forget that he's always been a play-off bust when it came down to big game situations. I dont care what anyone says about AFC Championship 2006. If Reche Caldwell could catch Peyton never gets that ring either. However that pick 6 reminded everyone of exactly who Peyton Manning really is. A big game let down that could'nt hold Tom Brady play-off Jock strap. Yes my friends it was the return of the "lame duck in big moments" Peyton Manning. Big game quarterback always know how much time is left in a quarter and when to throw sideline to sideline.
The second half of that superbowl took me back to the times when Belichick would confuse Manning so much that he didnt know what a play action pass was. Since 2007 Peyton had suckered all of us into believing that those days were long gone. That Tom Brady could possibly be a notch below him. That all of those play-off losses to the Patriots happened because he was a young and immature quarterback. That the manning face now reigned supreme in huge monments until......Nantz: "Picked off! Look out ... and it's Tracy Porter taking it all the way! Touchdown, New Orleans!"
When that happened, Peyton went back to being that regular bully that picked on you until someone his own size came along. Still their will be the Manning apologist who say that he will get past this and still become a top 5 quaterback. But what that pick 6 did was push him a notch below Brady, give the Patriots the team of the decade title and end the Brady/Manning discussion. Somewhere Brady sat on a couch with his feet up and sreamed FREEDOMMMM!!!!!! at 9:29pm with a braveheart look on his face.

Where were you at 9:29?
