    Might be what is going on with the Saints. Bounty-Gate and they are having issues signing Brees.

    If you look back at teams who have hosted the Super Bowl......it is not good folks.

    You mean the Packers hoisting the Lombardi in Cowboys Stadium wasn't good luck for Jerry Jones?

    We did Jerry Jones a HUGE favor. We beat the Steelers in the Cowboys house. Steelers & Cowboys hate each other

    Just like the Giants did the Colts a favor by beating the Patriots in Indy.

    However even then with the Giants winning you had Eli passing Peyton in rings. lol.

    they(Manning family)say it doesn't matter that Eli has more rings than big bro'. Horse hockey! Those brothers are competitors. They won't come out & say it but I believe it bothers Peyton,even if it's just a little bit

    Agree there is some competition. They love each other but still want to be the best at what they do. There was an article before the SB where Eli said that after the Colts won it all in 2006 he wanted one too. He got a tad jealous and wanted to experience it.

    Peyton would never admit if it bothered him but many think he might have a chip on his shoulder this year wherever he plays. Still the sad thing is, I don't feel comfortable with Peyton in the playoffs and never truly did. Even if he goes to a new team that is very good and they make it in, I still feel as if he will over think things and not play his best football when it matters. It has often been a shame to me that a QB so good has often never lived up to expectations in the biggest moments. He has had a few moments but not enough.
