This weekend in NFL stupid

Sadly, there is only one final edition of this mean-spirited weekly segment left, but the Super Bowl is always chock-full of stupidity, so that should be fun.

Can we stop saying Peyton Manning is a bad playoff performer?

Every year, when Peyton Manning leads his team into the playoffs, we hear about how Manning can’t pull his team through in clutch moments. Although he may be the greatest regular season quarterback in NFL history, he collapses under the weight of key situations, ultimately costing his teams the opportunity to win the Super Bowl. […]
