Favre though does like to try to thread the needle with a fastball that he hasn’t had in a few years. As long as he recognizes his limitations and has a good surrounding cast, then he can do it too. Football is a team game and, while the quarterback is very important, he often just has to play within his abilities like Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer and allow the team to gain the win. I think that both Brady and Manning both have plenty of ability. Nevertheless…there will never be another Blanda!

I think Brady and Manning have at least one more Super Bowl each in them…and like you said, Elway didn’t even win one until he was 37 after three unsuccessful tries. I watched the NFL Network deocumentary on the ’98 Broncos, and that team was on fire, even with a 38-year-old QB.

And honestly, if Adrian Peterson could’ve held on to the ball, Favre could’ve been playing in the Super Bowl at the age of 57 (okay, 40). He looked like mid-90s Favre in the playoff game against Dallas, and probably could’ve given Peyton Manning a run for the money.

I love Chisum. (insert theme music) But, it’s a typical Hollywood movie in that they took some history and then changed it all around..poetic license. Tunstall was not the upright gentleman, for instance. I think that Geoffrey Dual or Duel (Billy the Kid in the movie) had a brother who was a star on Alias Smith and Jones until his brother, whom I think was Pete, went and killed himself. Never could figure that one out since he was a star of a hit tv series.

BTW…Bob Griese was the quarterback for the Dolphins back to back Superbowl wins over the Redskins and the Vikings. They lost Superbowl V to the Cowboys but beat Washington in the perfect season and then the Vikings in a boring Superbowl in Houston. The Vikings stayed in a hotel right near our house and I got a bunch of autographs.

ZZZZZZZZ…what? Someone say something about football?? I’m not much of a football guy. I followed the Dolphins a bit during Bob Griese’s unsuccessful Superbowl bids. Maybe that turned me against football. I don’t know.

I liked the “Billy the Kid” post though. The story of Pat Garrett and William Bonny is re-told, sort of, in the John Wayne’s “Chism”. Chism is supposed to be based on a real life cattle man but I don’t know how if Chism, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid really intersected in their lives. Anyway, another really good John Wayne flick, in my opinion.
