@RBS: This never would have happened if Leitch was still here.

@Chris Hanson's Axe: For the sake of efficiency, I refer to BruschisBrewsky's for my response. (I also note that while the TD-INT ratios may be similar, Favre has 30 interceptions in 24 career playoff games, compared to 19 in 18 for Manning).

@user_21938: The quarterback throws the ball before the route is complete, trusting that his receiver will wind up in the right place. All NFL quarterbacks must, and do, rely on their receivers to run the correct route. This is not a junior high sandlot game, where the QB doesn't throw until little Timmy is standing…

@user_21938: Just stop. Between this and your post about Brees "objectively proving" himself to be a better quarterback, your posts are making kittens cry.

@Chris Hanson's Axe: Maybe because Brett Favre and Peyton Manning aren't the same person, so a post that would make sense when it's about Favre doesn't necessarily make sense when it's about Manning? Even those of us who hate the Fat Humps and are thrilled they lost recognize that Manning is not comparable to the…

@Nickly: And that was how I learned that John Murtha died. Says something about my life, doesn't it?

@StuScott Booyahs: You see what Dash has done? He's made us band together to defend PEYTON MANNING. Manning, of all people. God damn you Dash, you're either insane or an evil genius.

Is it fair that one errant pass—on a route the receiver probably botched—should determine a player's legacy? . . . But in the biggest possible moment he made the worst possible mistake. Like it or not, that's choking.

I just looked up "A Perfect Massage", which apparently is a game that turns your X-box controller into a vibrating massager. Cool thought. On an unrelated note, here is a picture of the latest X-box controller on the market:

@shmendo: You know that never really happened, right? It's a myth made up by the Armenians to distract us from the fact that they have taken over our media and financial institutions.

@DAULERIO: What, read the entire post before commenting? How am I supposed to go off half-cocked if I do something reasonable like that?

Deleted - I'm an idiot and didn't realize that AJ separated the emails into the "calm" and "not so calm".

@Beer-Fart: Boo.

@Kid Canada: And if he's on top, it would result in two deaths.

@kubelikwise: Didn't say it was a slam dunk, just that it was a stronger argument. You don't even have to go through the fair use factors in a right of publicity claim — if there is a newsworthy component to the use, the First Amendment trumps all. First Amendment doesn't always defeat a copyright claim though — you…

@ima221: Yeah, you'd be wrong on that.

Double post deleted, because I'm an idiot.

@CM_Wang: When Oden's wang and —seminated are used in the same sentence, usually the prefix is a little different.

Oden's lawyer is an idiot. He cites Article 5 of the Civil Rights Law (i.e., the right of publicity/right of privacy), which really only applies to purely commercial uses (advertisements, plastering Oden's image on a coffee mug). It doesn't apply to newsworthy uses such this.

@Bill Hicks Ringtone: I take it back. You didn't say that our money wouldn't help. You said that our money would help, but that you just don't care. So you're not a dick like Shirley. You're an entirely different kind of dick. My apologies.
