>I have seldom been so happy to be so wrong. The Bears shut up a lot of their critics and so did the Colts. I feel particularly happy for Peyton Manning, who has been unfairly dogged with the "can't win the big ones" label. Down 18 to the team that has won 3 of the past 5 Super Bowls, come back and win with a banged-up thumb, well, you earn some respect.

>Let's hope the "first two African-American head coaches to lead their teams to the Super Bowl" angle expires quickly. Not that it isn't a milestone, because it is, but the media sometimes grab an angle and run with it. Why can't we just admire them as two great coaches who have taken teams who weren't expected to be there to the Super Bowl?


Oh no, the pc police aren't going to pass an opportunity to extoll the virtues of both these "representatives". I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Clinton didn't come out with another apology for something he had nothing to do with at halftime.

I agree, when are we going to get to the point that we can simply say, these are two great coaches and leave the adjectives off. The one thing I love about pro sports is that it is survival of the fittest. Those who can do, the others are either cut or sitting the bench. I keep waiting on someone to try to cram affirmative action into the NFl,NBA,or some of the other pro sports. Hopefully they'll wait a few more years, and I will have moved on!
