CONGRATS, PEYTON: GATORS WIN SUPER BOWL.

EDSBS would like to offer its congratulations to Peyton Manning for his outstanding performance in the Super Bowl last night, a virtuoso performance securing a unique trifecta for Florida athletics: possession of the NCAA Men's football and basketball trophies as well as vicarious ownership of a Super Bowl Championship.

To refresh the memory: Manning never beat Florida in three and a half tries. Florida>Peyton>Chicago Bears= one Super Bowl ring mailed overnight express to this man, please:


The only way Danny's ever getting near a Super Bowl ring. He'll take that FedEx overnight, no signature required, thank you very much.

One other dividend from this Super Bowl--besides featuring a commercial that made you want to commit suicide along with that robot--comes in the fact that Bill Simmons, snide college football hater and New England regional sports writer, will no longer be able to mention the "Peyton Manning Face" derisively. Unless he means the face Peyton will make as he, loaded off a pitcher of margaritas and getting his knob polished by Mrs. Manning, in turn polishes the Lombardi Trophy on a deserted beach somewhere on the Pacific Coast of Mexico next week.

Congrats to pro football's triumphant geek. Danny will be waiting for his ring.

I’m waiting for some kind soul to put Rex Grossman’s two fumbles on YouTube, set to “Yakkety Saz”.

Sorry, that should read “Yakkety Sax”.

If we’re playing Transitive Property Champions, Quentin Groves wants a ring, too.

Rex was merely continuing a fine NFL tradition of Gator QBs, Spurrier, Danny W, Shane, Jesse and coming soon, future Canadian Football League Legend Chris Leak.

In related news, former Miami QB Josh Betts (the second-best QB in school history but doomed to be known as “that guy who followed Roethlisberger”) picked up a ring last night as Indy’s third-string QB. He has spent the season on the Colts’ practice squad since Indy only carries two QBs on the active roster.

That may not sound like much, but I’ll guarantee you he’s having more fun than I did in my first job out of college.

And into the night, all over Rocky Top, the faithful iron pictures of the SB XLI ring to the backs of their “Keep Your Fucking Trophy” Heisman shirts.

Are they using flat irons or the electric kind? ‘Cause I heard electricity hasn’t reached Rocky Top yet.

Wow. Rex Grossman really, really sucks.

by Dave on Feb 5, 2007 11:23 AM EST reply actions  

Funny stuff. Just thinking that Rex’s performance cancels out any form of vicarious claim to Peyton’s ring from the Gator community.

by Jason on Feb 5, 2007 11:34 AM EST reply actions  

Can Florida really count it as a win, considering a UF grad is the one who gave Indy the win. I don’t think Payton was as good as Rex was bad. Indy’s MVP should be Grossman’s QB skills.

Much in the way of ESPN’s “Boise State’s argument for the National Championship”

Boise State >Oregon State>USC>Arkansas>Auburn>Florida

They left out the fact that Florida beat Arkansas in the SECCG, thusly breaking the chain. In fact, of Auburn’s 2 losses, Florida “avenged” both, beating Georgia as well.

by Red Dawg on Feb 5, 2007 11:40 AM EST reply actions  

Why do we hate on Rexy? Someone defending him would say, “You couldn’t do any better!”

And we would say, “No, miss, I couldn’t. He’s playing it exactly as I would (if I were suddenly thrown up against an NFL-caliber defense).”

Which makes one wonder why.

Ah well, if Rex lost to Peyton then Rex beat Drew Brees, thereby proving once again that SEC speed is the rox0rs.

Rex Grossman is the NFL’s answer to Reggie Ball.

by Mosby on Feb 5, 2007 12:08 PM EST reply actions  

Of course, bad Rex was nowhere to be found on those magical fall Saturdays six and seven years ago when he and Spurrier pounded us prison-style and then sold us for smokes.

As long as you can get your hands cut off by an Arab executioner for writing “Bammer.”

I believe we’ve covered this before both here and on my site. Proper terminology is “Alabama fucktards” or any other appropriate vulgarity.

Many thanks.

Transitive Property Champions? Isn’t that an AU fan’s favorite line of logic. Fits up there with such classic delusion as “The 2004 Peoples’ Championship”, or as it’s called by other SEC fans,, The “Some 8 year old from Opelika with an AOL account” Championship.

I despise Manning. And was hoping that Rex would fare better. I suppose the Sex Cannon had too much KY on his hands from those funbled snaps and errant throws.

As some of us know: If there is a Mrs. Manning – instead of a girlfriend – there will be no knob polishing going on.

Not that it matters at all, gators had a representative on the St. Louis Cardinals World Series team as well.

“fucktard” = absolutely brilliant

Just saw these old quotes and wondered what you guys did to deserve [NAME REDACTED]:

“I’ve told him, ‘Rex, if you come back, it’s on my terms and not your terms.”’

“I heard this said once by a Bear Bryant assistant [Ken Donahue]: ’I’d rather be known as a bad coach with good players than a good coach with bad players’”

I think people often forget how much Peyton was Danny’s B!tch . . . Not only was he 0-3 against him as a starter in college, but he was 0-4 againt him all time as Danny’s Saints beat Peyton’s Colts in their young NFL Career.

Hack you dick (How is that? I am quick learner) May I recommend an alternate to “Gaytor”? A new spelling that is less offensive is “Geightor”

by Chris Leak's 4.5 forty hookslide on Feb 6, 2007 7:28 AM EST reply actions  

Pretty lame of you guys not to eat some crow and give Manning his due. You seem to forget that Peyton has an SEC Championship ring as well. The ONLY way Grossman will ever get a superbowl ring is riding the bench where he belongs…he is not an NFL caliber quarterback…but of course he can always look at his SEC ring and sing ‘Glory Days’…hell,Tee Martin has SEC and National Championship rings as well…something that Alex Brown will never have…nyanyanyanya!

STFU, us Gator QBs have tons of Lombardi Trophies and Super Bowl MVP awards.

When I get to Canada, we will add the Grey Cup to our history as well

Is it just me, or does Manning look like frickin’ Frankenstein? Seriously – you pop some bolts on his neck and the villagers are chasing him with fire….
