The Denver Broncos versus the Carolina Panthers.<\/span><\/p>\n Who\u2019d have guessed such a pairing for Super Bowl L?\u00a0 Certainly not I, but then again, I haven\u2019t really been paying that much attention to the NFL all season.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m more surprised by the fact that the Patriots\u00a0didn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0mangle Peyton Manning again, and make it into the Super Bowl; I\u2019d have bet money on them beating the Broncos by like 20 points, but it\u2019s a good thing that I don\u2019t bet on sports anymore, because I was still in Vegas when I could have.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s an interesting factoid, that ye old eye test made me believe, and later confirmed by factual statistical evidence: despite the fact that in spite of the loss, Tom Brady still owns Peyton Manning in head-to-heads 11-6, but throughout his entire career, Tom Brady has struggled against the Denver Broncos, regardless of whom was the quarterback.\u00a0 With a 5-6 record against the Broncos, Brady has taken more losses against Denver against anyone else outside of the AFC East division.\u00a0 Aside from Peyton Manning, he\u2019s taken losses against quarterbacks such as Brian Griese and Jake Plummer, vastly lesser heralded QBs.\u00a0 For whatever reason, the Broncos have always plagued Brady, and even the ballast of Peyton Manning\u2019s ineptitude against the Patriots couldn\u2019t undermine them this time.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, when the day is over, I don\u2019t really care who wins the Super Bowl this year, or any future year for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 And if it the Broncos do win it, I think it would be cool if Peyton Manning immediately retires afterward, and manages to cash in on the ultimate luxury of going out a champion, drawing further parallels to John Elway.\u00a0 Derpy as he is, Peyton Manning\u2019s not a bad guy, and it legitimately would be cool to see him go out on top, and hopefully he\u2019s smart enough to capitalize, if he wins.<\/span><\/p>\n However, I\u2019m rooting for Cam Newton, and the Carolina Panthers to win it all.<\/span><\/p>\n One, nobody\u2019s rooting for the Panthers to win it all, because they\u2019re the Panthers, and people typically like \u201cmore traditional\u201d franchises to keep winning championships, because it\u2019s like maintaining the status quo.\u00a0 The Panthers haven\u2019t been this close since 2003, when Janet Jackson\u2019s boob stole the show, and Adam Vinatieri hit one of numerous championship-winning field goals.<\/span><\/p>\n Two, it would be kind of fun to watch Atlanta media juggle the fallout of a Panthers win, because they\u2019re division rivals that this city is supposed to hate, but Cam Newton is a Union City Atlanta native who is a known Falcons fan when they\u2019re not playing the Panthers.<\/span><\/p>\n And three, because all season long, the media has been crawling all up in Cam Newton\u2019s ass, saying he\u2019s a poor role model, he\u2019s bad for the game, he\u2019s a disgrace, a bastard-fatherer, for absolutely no other reason than the fact that he\u2019s black.\u00a0 Seriously, all the rhetoric in the world can\u2019t conceal the fact that Newton has been under fire all season long for no legitimate reason other than the fact that he is black and people are racist.<\/span><\/p>\n He put up respectable numbers in yards, TDs, QB rating, and rushed for more touchdowns than any other QB in the game.\u00a0 Newton\u2019s been the closest guy to really bringing a college QB experience to the pros, because he\u2019s big, tall, nimble, can throw, and can really move.\u00a0 He\u2019s brought a sense of home field pride, gives footballs to kids and does charity work.\u00a0 Sure, he\u2019s confiscated some paraphernalia of opposing teams and dances when he celebrates, and fathered a child out of wedlock, but Tom Brady knocked up\u00a0two different\u00a0<\/em>women and nobody seemed to care.\u00a0 Gee, I wonder why that is??<\/span><\/p>\n The funniest thing is that Cam Newton has conducted himself as nothing short of a saint throughout all of this.\u00a0 While crusty old white racists are writing to the Charlotte Observer, condemning their own quarterback who\u2019s bringing their team out of the basement, while media outlets are trying to be vague and veiling their racism and failing, criticizing every little action he does, Newton has done nothing but go out and win games, all while embracing his fans, showing team unity, and simply bringing a whole lot of fun back into the No Fun League.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m still not going to say that I\u2019m a fan of Cam Newton, but I certainly respect the guy, and come Super Bowl L, I\u2019ll be rooting for him, because god only knows, he\u2019s probably already being made out to be the big disrespectful black devil standing in the way to wholesome Peyton Manning\u2019s likely final Super Bowl hurrah.\u00a0 If for anything at all, just to get a whole lot of bigots and idiots, to shut the fuck up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Denver Broncos versus the Carolina Panthers.
