Okay, then-
11-Y.A. Tittle/Terry Bradshaw (tie)

There-is that better?

MUCH Better!

I wonder how many of the Manning kool-aid drinkers have heard of HIM.

I don't think anybody mentioned Bart Starr. How many championships did the Packers win when he was the QB? That includes the days before the Super Bowl.

Two Super Bowls (the first two vs. Kansas City and Oakland), and, I think five or six N.F.L. championships (in the years prior to the first Super Bowl in 1967).
Probably the one everyone will remember the most is the famous "Ice Bowl" vs. the Dallas Cowboys when they won it on a quarterback sneak into the end zone with four seconds left in the game.

Good question......

He was as much of a cultural icon for N.Y.C. as Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, and Wille Mays.

I'll never forget his gallant preformance in a losing effort against the Chicago Bears in the N.F.L. championship game on Dec. 29th, 1963 at Wrigley Field.
He was overshadowed by such greats as John Unitas, John Brodie, and Bart Starr, but to watch the man preform was to watch poetry in motion.

Congrats to the Colts. They played better and were coached better so they deserved to win. The Colts played good, not great and the Bears played very bad, not even good. The defensive scheme of the Bears was awful, seeing Urlacher get upset because of Rivera's scheme said it all.
The Colts running game and defense really stepped up, it was impressive. And Manning did what he does, find the best way to get yardage and do it.
I am not into best ever arguments, all I know is Manning is pretty damn good and current World Champ.
The wierd thing is as much as the Bears were dominated, they had a good chance of winning until Rex pulled a Rex and threw a TD for the Colts.
As a Bears fan was proud to see them go as far as they did, but disappointed they played awful. Next year, hopefully

Right.

DAMN right!

ABSOLUTELY damn damn right.

That game turned out pretty much how I guessed it would (I actually thought the Colts would score MORE points than they did), and, hey, there's NEXT year.
(I'm a CUBS fan, so I can say that).

Right now I'm wondering if Tony Dungy will have a job by this time tomorrow.
He publicly thanked THE LORD after the game (the REAL Lord-not Payton Manning), and we just can't have that.

Ya know, just once I'd like to hear the losing team blame god for their loss.

It would have the same effect as the winning coach THANKING God.
Thank Him or blame Him, either way it would mean you're acknowledging He exists, and that's more than enough to get the A.C.L.U. and their kook supporters' bowels in an uproar.

I said about everything I had to say last night:

The team has been building toward this since the day they hired Tony Dungy.

Now can we please get rid of Grossman?

(Been saying that since about week 15 last season.)

Which is about as quiet as the Colts fans had been for the past 5 or 6 years.

The Bears have to be the worst 13-3 team ever. Their defense carried them a long way, and playing in the NFC helped, but ultimately the lack of offense was their undoing. At least four or five AFC teams could have beaten them.

Yep! Mrs. TR had surgery at UCSF and I went on a walk with my FIL past Keazar stadium. He blurted out, "Hey! This is the old Keazar Stadium. Y.A. Tittle played here." He's much older than I so it must have meant more. Check with Gary

The Bears lost a total of four games this year. (Including the Super Bowl).
Three of those four losses were to A.F.C. teams, and, I know it's purely hypothetical now that the season is over, but of the final four A.F.C. teams (Indianapolis, New England, San Diego, Baltimore), the Colts were the ONLY team the Bears had a chance to beat going in to the Super Bowl, and their chances were 30% at best. I would've given them MAYBE a 5% chance against the other three. (Yeah, I would've LOVED to have been wrong-but, Rex Grossman & their defense-YA KNOW)!

Oh well, Indianapolis won, no controversial calls, it was pretty much a clean game, and life goes on.
Hopefully everyone can just let the Colts and their fans enjoy the moment and lay off the "can they repeat" crap.

Nobody can repeat these days. The league is geared against it in every way imaginable. Yeah, I know: the Patriots won 3 out of 4, but that was a complete anomaly that had the NFL's policy wonks scratching their heads and feeling queasy. We won't see it again, which makes it all the more remarkable.

I've thought my Bears were overrated all season-I know it is wrong to compare them to the 85-6 team, but that team totally dominated. This year's team-well, when they were good, they were very good, and when they were bad..................

And, Garry---Y.A. Tittle was one of the first football names I remember from my youth
