but now Ole Miss stinks since there aren't any of them.

Peyton never played for Ole Miss... Eli did, and their dad, Archie, did... but never Peyton... he played at Tennessee.

Speaking of quarterbacks, how about them Cincinatti Bengals? 6-2 after a 4-0 start for the first time since who knows how long. Yep, it's the Carson Palmer influence.

Oh yeah. Carson Palmer was a Heisman Trophy winner at USC.

Huh?  I'm sorry, I can't hear you... I'm too busy listening to "Hail to the Victors" and thinking about Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, product of Michigan.

Well now I feel stupid. Thanks

Wait a minute...as of right now, http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/standings says that the New England Patriots are 4-3, have 159 points in their favor, and a staggering 180 points against them. At the same time, I believe my Indianapolis Colts are, uhh...let's see here...oh! 7-0! Who would've guessed! And, golly! They have 30 more points for and a monumental 107 less points against. I wouldn't be bragging to much about a team that, though they just won the Superbowl again, are without both coordinators, Ty Law, a full Teddy Bruschi, and Ted Johnson. The Colts, on the other hand, are basically 100% healthy, and their defense has given upt he fewest points int he league. Also, this was a very long post.

1- Tom Brady is a quarterback, so he isn't responsible for how many points his defense gives up.  Nice try at a valid argument, but sadly that doesn't stand up.

2- In the case of where I was bragging, I can indeed brag.  The discussion being held was over quarterbacks from our favorite colleges.  Carson Palmer has not won any Superbowl titles, nor Superbowl MVP awards, as where Tom Brady has.

So, if I were talking about Tom Brady in terms of how his Pats are doing this year in comparison to other teams, then yes, all that stuff you said would be very valid.  But, since I was merely comparing players, quarterback to quarterback, pretty all you typed was for naught.

P.S.
I'm no fan of the Pats, just proud to see one of my UM guys doing well.  I'm true blue Lions all the way.

P.P.S.
Please don't take my comments as a personal attack against you.  They're merely being said in true sports debate, which I am rather passionate about.

I played Frolf yesterday. Totally awesome.

There's a pretty nice Frolf course not too far from me.  I always enjoy the occasional game of Frolf.
