Watching DangeRuss is watching a champion.
Here is the translation: "It was a great game, playing a great champion in Peyton Manning and we won. Of course we won. They did well to make us win it in the end like the champions we are."
He says this in a way that is not in-your-face cocky. It's said with the mindset that we know what it takes to be champions and we are. And no one can argue it.
This is a third year player that compliments other great quarterbacks after beating them. You don't get to see great NFL players very often. We are truly blessed by being able to watch this man take it to a higher level every week. I feel greatly fortunate to have been able to watch Brett Favre grow up into one of the greats in the NFL. Say what you want about how long it took him to give up the game, but watching him week after week, you just don't think about how special that is. (For me, it was a smooth transition from being a life-long packer fan to moving west and rooting for the Hawks as I did it right after Holmgren moved to Seattle. )
To watch RW week after week, I think we are truly blessed to see one (barring disastrous injury) who will be an NFL icon.
