Chris CrockettTCFB's Random Two Cents...Peyton Manning the Tea-bagger & Derek Jeter
December 7th 2009 14:20
So in a players poll in Sports Illustrated, Peyton Manning (who has done a lot for charity over the years) only finished 1 percentage point behind Kurt Warner for "Which active player is the best role model on and off the field?" Personally I have always admired all the charity work and great things that Warner has done for so many people in need over the years. On another note, when he married his wife Brenda years ago, she had two children from a prior marriage. Being in a similar position myself when I married my wife, I have always enjoyed reading how people say Warner has been such a great example to his wife's kids and what a great role model he has been in their lives. I strive to be the same in my situation. That being said, there is no way that someone like Manning (who 'tea-bagged' his female athletic trainer in college at Tennesee) should be finishing anywhere near Warner's neighborhood in this category. I only wish that the poor girl who he did this to in college would've ripped his nads off when Peyton thought he was being funny when he did this to her back in the day. I don't care if you're the first son in the 'Manning Holy Trinity' of QB's. If you do this to a female (unless it's your girlfriend or you wife and she's into that sort of freakiness) you're a putz.

Congrats to my boy, Derek Jeter, for his Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award last week. He is truly deserving of this award and I've always said if I had a little boy or girl of my own that wanted to get into playing baseball like his Dad,(my stepsons are football players) I would use Jeter as a primary example of how to play the game. Jeter plays the game so hard every day and is one of the most fundamentally sound ballplayers of this generation. Great teammate. Great leader. Curt Schilling had this to say about him.. "Competing against that guy, was what made the major leagues the major leagues for me." 'Nuff said.
