Like everyone who isn’t a dedicated Carolina Panther’s fan, I dearly hoped Peyton Manning could get another Super Bowl ring. It was more of a hope than an expectation. Carolina had blown out their opponents in the playoffs. Most of all, I was hoping that the Broncos would avoid a debacle like the game against Seattle. My desire for victory were dependent on their dominating defense and the possibility the Panthers would be overconfident.
My wish came true. Cam Newton spent almost as much time on his back as Tom Brady. The defense scored one touchdown and set up the other. Manning and the offense were stopped for most of the game. As expected, he was humble, in the post-game interview.
In my opinion, he is the greatest quarterback the game has ever seen. He is certainly one of the great physical QBs but his mental game puts him in a class by himself. Others may have more Super Bowl rings, but they played for outstanding teams. The Colts without him are a .500 team at best.
We will have to wait and see whether he decides to retire. He has nothing left to prove so I hope he hangs up the cleats. My fondest wish is that we see, in the words of the late, great Yogi Berra, déjà vu all over again. I hope he follows the lead of his boss, John Elway, and uses his amazing football mind to build a Super Bowl champion. I know this is asking for a lot, but I would be thrilled if he did it for the Colts.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
