29816, i'm wary of that label in general
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Jan-17-06 08:29 AM
i can't think of too many players in any sport who i legitimately thought were big-game chokers. i just think its an affliction that's not as common as people think it is. so i wait as long as possible to apply it to someone.

that being said, there's no denying that peyton is a straight bitch. his comments sealed the deal. but i already disliked him when i realized he constantly walks off the field berating teammates like "you fucked up." I mean, when he throws a bad int does he berate himself? no, he looks at the WR or some shit like that.

that's no way to lead a team. you can't publicly belittle teammates on a constant basis and expect anything good to come from it: see Owens, Terrell.
