One more touch back to the Moss deal then I'll move on to Manning. I do prefer, as does mindido, when it's just straight clean football. You get in the endzone, hand the ball to the ref, and go to the sideline. The one thing I like about Barry Sanders still after he abandoned my Lions, he never celebrated let alone showboated. Still, I can find the humor in what Moss did, especially in light of the information about Packers fans mooning the losing away team. Although, I do generally hate loudmouthed abnoxious assholes, i like rivalry in a sport which involves taunting and rubbing shit in. It's a game, games are about competition, competition brings out the color of players character (edit: note: that was not meant racially) I'd rather have a guy rub it in his opponents / enemy fans faces than goes around and talks about the size of his johnson (aka, how he's the greatest thing since the six pack), it's too bad these both tend to be found in the same people though, and rarely not together.
Manning deserved the MVP I think, and I say that as a person who really hates Peyton Manning. You can't argue with the numbers he put up, and in professional sports (even collegiate) it's all about numbers. I was pissed on Thanksgiving when they pulled Manning out of the game, i wanted to see him break the record that day. He could've done it, only had 5 or so more to go, and he was thrashing through the lions. I would have liked to see someone else get it, jut because I am not a fan of Manning, but he is the one who deserved it.
