re: Bill Simmons nailed it regarding the Brady/Manning argument

but hes right. the GOAT is just message board fodder and is an unwinnable argument

Yep

I disagree with his basketball assessment though. Outcomes are more determined by great players, but still not entirely.

There are top 5/10 players that are forgotten constantly due to lack of winning it all several times with great teammates (Oscar Robinson, Dr. J)

No sport that is not individual can have a clear cut GOAT ever...its immeasurable.

absolutely.

but I agree about just sitting back and enjoying the game tomorrow.

I think it is a toss up as far which game will be better.

I like seeing defensive struggles in today's game so I'll probably be dialed in a little more to the NFC Championship.

but I wonder if Peyton Manning will retire should the Broncos win and then go on to win the Super Bowl.

I think he does. I'm probably way off here but I just have this weird hunch.

so for me, that is what I find as the most interesting story line tomorrow in the AFC Championship.
