Yeah, that Detroit bunch he singlehandedly beat in the East finals was awful. Not like they punked Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton, et al, then took the Spurs to 7 in the Finals. Good call.
He made Julius Thomas a lot of cash the year before. Ditto Eric Decker. Malone and Payton were dinosaurs, and Shaq wasn't fully healthy, if I recall.
That Detroit team was really good, and LeBron did basically beat them by himself. That can't really be argued.
Oh, it'll be argued by the people who are offended by a black man using leverage and other various levels of fools.
No, but that's a lot harder than first team All-Pro. Dallas Clark was never one of the top 5 players alive.
I think calling the 5th or 6th best player who was splitting time with White Chocolate a "key cog" is being a bit too liberal.
Decker never gets that chance without Manning. That's what differentiates himself from all the other WRs with average size and average speed.
That's my point. All 3 were made to look good by Manning/LeBron. I'm just saying All-Pro and All-NBA aren't exactly comparable, because the latter requires being basically one of the 5 best players alive.
Decker can play. Manning made him look better, but he's not just another guy. He was making plays before Manning got there.
That is idiocy. What does "getting the chance" have to do with continuing to produce? Decker had numbers with Tebow.
Bullshit. Peyton Manning is the only reason Decker ever caught a pass in the NFL and he arranged his marriage to his hot wife. Peyton Manning is the only reason we have oxygen.
Who made the shot that saved the season in the Dallas series? Who made the two defensive plays that turned the Detroit series? Do you know? I do. Why? Because I was there.
Would love to see him spontaneously combust. Would also like to see that happen to another white sports commentator I hate, Bryant Gumbel.
