I agree. I remember watching Eli Manning's dad, Archie, as quarterback at
Ole Miss. I attended a game in Oxford, MS during the 1960s. Don't remember
if he could pass or not, but he was an exciting runner. Really all over the
field. Would probably run 150 yards to make a 50 yard gain. What a legacy
with his sons.

Yes, Archie had one helluva strong arm and accurate too But with the
Saints, he never had a decent line and seldom a decent receiver. He
spent his entire career scrambling. He was an all around, do
everything well, make things happen, athlete. And he had good success
at Ole Miss because he had a team around him. Unfortunately, he never
had that luxury in all his years with the Saints. In most cases, he
was the only reason fans went to the ball games. One losing season
after another, Saints fans would go (sometimes with paper bags over
their heads) only to watch Archie scramble and get himself out of one
impossible situation after another. He was a Super Bowl caliber
Quarterback who played year after year for an otherwise dismal and
mismanaged team. But he loved New Orleans and he never complained even
once that I know of.
He's a fine fellow with a great attitude both on and off the field.

Archie was a class act. Unfortunately, he played for an owner, John
Mecom, who was a complete and total moron and never gave him the tools
he needed to win.

I was at the game when Tom Dempsey, he of the club foot, kicked the 63
yard field goal. I almost missed it - my friend and I were walking
out of Tulane Stadium when they were setting up for the field goal and
we turned around in the entrance way to watch it. :)

Think of the positive. We don't have to listen to the rest of the
country cry for another year

I was rooting for NE, but the Giants played a better game for 4
quarters. The offensive line could not protect Brady, 5 sacks and he
felt the pressure on just about every play.

What I did like to see is two very great teams play aggressive football
for 60 minutes. It really doesn't get any better.

Doubtful. None of the a**holes I associate with are anonymous.
