The Colts rested players every year during the Polian era and it always came back to bite us in the playoffs. I'm against that. You find times to sit guys during the regular season when you have a big lead

That last part is I think what rubs me the wrong way about Newton. With every 'hot' QB, there ends up being a ridiculous amount of overhyping about said player. Most of the time, this hype doesn't effect the player, they keep their heads and get the job done. Every once in a while, somebody starts buying into their own hype and looking like a jagoff for doing it. Newton is one of those few, from his behavior he seems to be buying into every bit of hype being written about him. 'Superman' might want to remember there are 20+ QBs in the NFL that are more accurate than he is, hard to argue you're something special with that in mind.Mariners wrote:Orioles wrote:Whiny Seattle fans have been making the Panthers and Cam Newton more likable for me.

Every fan base has a percentage of idiots within it. Just can't be avoided when you have a mass of humanity with emotional attachments to a sports franchise.
There is a whole lot of stupid in the world today......
That said, it wouldn't hurt Newton's image to act like he's been there before.
So last month when the Colts retired Petyon's jersey and unveiled his statue I went to the game, first time I had been to Lucas Oil. That night I couldn't sleep and so at like 3am I wrote Peyton a letter (first time writing in cursive since 1998?) thanking him for all the joy he brought to me during his career, how there were a lot of times where watching him on Sunday is what got me through the week, had a bigger impact in my life than my father, etc and sent it to his foundation in Denver. Got home from work today and in the mailbox was an envelope. Opened it and there was an autographed 8x10 from Peyton thanking me for the letter and the supportPhillies wrote:I hope one day I love someone as much as Aaron loves Peyton Manning (no one tell my wife I said that).
