It’s a shame we’re talking about this instead of some of the great comeback stories from the Broncos...

A 39 year old QB legend who lost his starting job mid-season returns to improbably take his team to the Superbowl and win, despite everyone predicting the other team. Not only that, but has anyone started as QB for two different Superbowl wins?

A QB who played backup without complaint his entire career because one of the greatest QBs of all time started ahead of him, ends his playing career and becomes a coach. He gets fired as HC of team located near the towns where he played HS and college ball. The same QB legend who started in front of him takes over as executive of his old pro team because the owner is slowly dying. He brings back the fired HC (his old backup), who was considered washed up and he improbably coaches his old pro team to a Superbowl win.

A linebacker who had trouble with substance abuse early in his career, gets his act together and straightens out his life, comes back from a season ending injury the year before, and plays out of his mind through the playoffs becoming one of the few defensive players to be named superbowl MVP.

That’s what we should be talking about. Not some singer trying a bad PR stunt to boost her appeal with the black community.

Sadly, all the good that has come out from this SB gets all mixed up with the bad.

Yeah. It is like talking about deflated footballs after a Super Bowl, and things like that.

Funny how inconsequential things like racist halftime shows and contrived controversies like deflated footballs dominate the discourse.

You would think they would let the teams that actually win the Super Bowl (and their fans) enjoy the afterglow.

Irritating, isn’t it?
