The NFL is a quarterback driven league. With that in mind, I figured the quarterback who seemed to be playing the best football of his career would lead his team to a Super Bowl XLIV victory.
I was wrong, dear readers. Dead wrong.
While the Colts' loss may have hurt my prognosticating pride it also helped put an end to the "Brady vs. Manning Quarterback of the Decade" debate monopolizing local airwaves lately.
Wait, what's that? You don't think the debate is over? Really?
This is an obvious one, faithful followers, but I'll play along. In sports, greatness is measure by one thing and one thing only: championships. Tom Brady brought New England 3 this decade while Manning captured 1. In addition, Brady has posted a 14-4 playoff record in his career with Manning only managing a pedestrian 9-9 record over that same span.
The math is just too easy.

Quick Thinking
------------------
-- Phil Mickelson, Tiger's arch enemy on the links, publicly calling for Woods' return tells you all you need to know about how important Eldrich is to the game of golf.
-- Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl XLIV and bringing home the first championship in franchise history.
-- Soak it in, New Orleans. Soak it in.
-- Mr. NFL's simulations of big plays from NFL games using a Tecmo Bowl emulator is the best thing on the internet that you don't know about.
-- Useless Tidbit of the Week: Emmanuelle Chriqui has usurped Jennifer Anniston from atop my 2010 "Celebrity Crush" list.
-- Add me to the group of guys who traded Ms. Anniston in for a different model.
-- So much for being original.
-- Speaking of not being original, I can't believe I fell victim to Peyton Manning's PR Machine and thought he was good enough to carry his team to a Super Bowl victory.
-- I should have know better after witnessing the birth of the "Manning Face" against New England in 2004.
-- It will NOT happen again.
-- Kevin Durant is fulfilling his promise as the number 2 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft and emerging as the best young player in the league.
-- While somewhere in Portland Greg "Tripod" Oden is sexting his new girlfriend.
-- Did someone say baseball season?
-- It's not about winning every game, y'all. It's about winning the last game.
-- Just ask the Saints.
-- And the 2007 New England Patriots.
-- Can someone please put the Danika Patrick bandwagon into the wall?
-- Thanks in advance.
-- In case you missed it, Brooklyn Decker landed the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover.
-- Good luck living in the shadow of your wife's new found fame, Mr. Roddick.
-- Celebrity Look A Like Award of the Week goes to big brother Timothy for looking like the artistic Todd Cleary from Wedding Crashers.
-- He's sexual and violent.
-- Did you see "King" LeBron James kick a water bottle into the stands out of frustration last week?
-- I guess Bill Shakespeare was right: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown not yet earned by winning an NBA Championship.
-- I'm thankful McMickelson chose to use an "illegal" club in an effort to steal headlines from Tiger instead of the obvious alternative: Releasing a sex tape.
-- I like your moxy, Phil.
-- But, even in cheating, you're second best.
