Denver captures Super Bowl 50 behind Von Miller’s performance

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The best storyline was Peyton Manning, winning Super Bowl 50 in what may have been the final game of his historic career. However, the best performers in Sunday night’s Super Bowl was that magnificent defense of the Denver Broncos. Denver smothered and harassed Carolina’s Cam Newton and high-powered Panthers in a 24-10 victory Sunday night on their way to an upset victory. The defense, led by Von Miller, sacked Carolina seven times, including six of Newton, the league’s MVP. That defense…

For once, Peyton Manning is being compared with worst QBs

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Just like that, and Denver’s Peyton Manning is on the wrong side of the room. For most of his career, he has been among the most celebrated of quarterbacks. He has the nifty nickname, “The Sheriff.” He has all the records. He has so many comebacks. And now, in what may be his final game, he is just another guy.

The Broncos (12-4) swear they won’t make the same mistake they did last year, either. They were in…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Nice job, Tom Brady. Peyton Manning, you’re up next. The 39-year-old quarterback is under pressure to prove his decline at the end of last season was because of  a torn thigh and not time catching up to him like a linebacker firing through the line unblocked. His boss, John Elway, is trying to take some load off his shoulders just like the Broncos did during Elway’s own Super Bowl runs in the late 1990s when a good ground game and…

Cadillac Williams wins rookie of the year honor

in Peter/Sports by

The time and place will be forever sealed in the collective memory of my fantasy football league. I’m at Sherwin’s. The nachos and salsa are flying. I had the first overall pick and I had already screwed up by taking Peyton Manning over LT. I figured it was a lot easier to get a top back in the second round then a top QB. The end of the second round approached, with me slated to pick the best back on…
