Morning Thoughts

-I've been seeing a lot of blame being thrown Reggie Wayne's way for the game-sealing interception.  I don't get it.  It was a little hook route and wayne was coming back to the ball.  Porter just got to it quicker, mainly because they had just run a similar play two plays before.  Also, Manning didn't throw that ball with authority like he had been the rest of the season.  It was his usual dart, he lobbed it a little bit, which gave Porter time to get to it.  A similar thing had happened earlier in the drive on an out to Pierre Garcon, only Porter couldn't hang on.  Sorry, Peyton Manning sympathizers.  It's really his fault.

-Let's say you're starting an NFL franchise, and can pick any quarterback in the league.  Who do you pick now?  Tom Brady's had the better career, but Drew Brees is better right now.  Plus, who knows what the future holds for Brady, who will be turning 33 this season, and who hadn't shown he had confidence in his surgically repaired knee even at the end of the season.  Is he ever going to be the same?  I seem to be leaning towards Brees.

-Shifting gears a bit, the Los Angeles Lakers looked pretty good without Kobe (or Bynum, for that matter) last night.  And the Spurs looked, well, a little old.  Seems the old guard (Duncan, KG, Shaq, Pierce, etc.) is on its way out.  Kobe also might sit out the All-Star game (this hasn't happened yet?!  The NBA has been talking about it since thanksgiving.)  More on this shortly.

-I think Kentucky would beat Kansas on a neutral court.

That's all for now, I'll have some more later.
