Peyton’s the passer and Brady’s the leader

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Up until the end of calendar year 2006, we were always told that both Peyton and Brady were good quarterbacks, but each excelled in a different area:  Peyton is the passer and Brady is the leader.  And by extension, Peyton can’t lead like Brady and Brady can’t pass like Peyton.

So, Cliffy has been riding all of us because because the contributions to OGS have been lacking in the past few months. I have been traveling and {insert why pussy hurts here} whatnot, but now I’m home, hopefully for like a month or something. So I figured I’d get wasted and start posting for him.

D’backs - Rockies

Okay, who *else* had this exacta for the NLCS last spring?  Um… I mean who had this exacta for the NLCS last spring?

I have no idea how this will play out, and I do fully expect that whichever of these teams advances to the WS will only be fodder for the AL champ on their way to a WS victory in five games or less.  But…
