      Actually, I can't think of the other teams on that list to win the superbowl to not make the playoffs the next year.
      I don't have a list, but the post-game just flashed a graphic showing that New England missed the playoffs in 2002 (9-7) after winning the Super Bowl in 2001.

      they then went on to win the SB in 2003 and 2004...

      • IIRC, the Broncos missed the playoffs the year after Elway retired. I'd imagine if a star player retires at the "top of their game", it'll really mess up a team's chances the next year.

          • Can't call Brees a momma's boy

            When New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees couldn't get his mom on the phone recently, he did what any loving son would do: He asked his agent to threaten a lawsuit against her.

            Turns out Mina Brees, an attorney in Austin, may have shown a few of her son's highlights while campaigning for a spot on Texas' 3rd Court of Appeals.

            Brees said his relationship with his mom has been "non-existent" since he didn't hire her as his agent six years ago.

            Back in the old days, politicians simply came up with simple slogans like, "My son's an NFL quarterback and yours is in the marching band."

            Those were simpler times.

              And they missed the playoffs, so I was right .

              • Are those NFL highlights? Cuz the NFL could be sending her cease & desist orders, too, if she doesn't have permission.

                • I don't know what they are. Probably.

                  It's all just so stupid.

                  • Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be NFL quarterbacks, whose highlights you might use illegally in political campaigns without obtaining the express written permission of the NFL.

                      • It's laughable that anyone even tries to compare them.

                          • Meh, I don't usually bother voting on silly online polls, but what the hell.

                              It really depends on your definition of "better"... Peyton by far is better from a statistical stand point. But he has played poorly in "big games"... on the other hand, Brady is mister clutch in big games.

                              • I chose Manning. The temptation was there to say Brady.
