The Indianapolis Colts are World Champs...and from the perspective of a guy who lives just outside of Indianapolis, it's pretty great. The build-up to the game was fun, and the celebrations after have been tame. I am happy for Manning and Dungy both who have constantly been told that they just can't win the big game.So, Peyton Manning won't have to answer anymore questions about his legacy now that he's won a Super Bowl...or will he? No joke- At 11:45 pm Eastern, on ESPN, the smart guys on ESPN asked the question- "Does Peyton need to win two to cement his legacy as one of the greats?" Seriously, that has to be the most stupid question ever asked. I think his legacy is just fine- he's got some individual records, his team won 13 in a row in 2005, he was part of one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history and his team is now the World Champion. I am pretty sure it's OK to say he's a great quarterback. Further, he now can win the big game; I'd argue he won the last two big games...so shut it, ESPN. He's jumped through plenty of hoops.
Does anyone else think the Colts might win another now?

Oh man, that was a stupid question. It's hard enough to win one, and now people wonder if he needs two. I don't think he needed any championship to be one of the greatest of all-time; winning one puts him into the discussion as THEE greatest of all-time.
And how must Dan Marino feel this morning? Kind of conflicted? On one hand, he no longer has to hear about how Peyton Manning is today's Dan Marino... but on the other hand, Dan Marino is now Dan Marino.
The hyperbole that gets tossed about with 24 hour media coverage is dizzying.
Also, let's talk about what this does for Jim Sorgi's legacy. Is his greatness cemented?
Last night, the banner on ESPN.com read "Reign Manning." Right now it says "Raining Champions."
Yes, we get it, ESPN. It was f-cking raining last night. How clever of you. Idiots.
Jim Sorgi's greatness is beyond debate. You've got a lot of gall, J.
