Sometimes I want to kick Sharp in the shins when he covers guys like Cam Newton, which is how you can tell he's a really really really good writer. I had an equally strong reaction to his Peyton piece, only in the opposite direction:
But if these next few weeks are the end of Peyton Manning, the way it's happened is hard to ignore. Millions of hours of film study weren't enough to stop this. Neither was the psychotic work ethic, the superhuman gifts, or the legend that's defined him for a decade. He could scare the NFL with gibberish, but he can't say a thing to change what comes next.Posted by Nastinchka at January 27, 2012 05:47 PM
