Peyton Manning fires up the laser rocket arm in order to break NFL records.

The Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl glory is apparently going to be very short-lived this season.  The team has eight new starters on defense, and if they continue to play like they did last night, the team is in for a long season on what has been traditionally been their strongest side of the ball.  Peyton Manning tied an NFL record with 7 touchdowns in a single game in a 49-27 route of the Baltimore Ravens.  It was a record-setting night for Manning and the Denver Broncos, as they handed the Ravens the largest opening night defeat ever for a defending Super Bowl champion at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver.  After being down 3 points at half time, Manning rallied the team with five touchdowns in the second half and really put on an impressive display of passing.  Manning finished the game completing 27 of 42 passes for 462 yards and that impressive 7 TDs.  Just think, this time last year?  Manning looked almost done as he started his Denver Broncos career.  Now, he looks like a guy playing even better than last year’s Comeback Player of the Year.

“It was a great night.  Great atmosphere,” said Manning after the game.  “We had to be patient and we knew we could get some shots and our receivers made some big plays.”

Manning ties Joe Kapp, George Blanda, Sid Luckman, and Adrian Burk as the only players to ever throw for seven touchdowns in a game.  Kapp did it last in 1969 as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.  During last night’s impressive performance, Manning  tied the record for most career four TD games, tied the record for most career five touchdown games, set the record for most career six TD games, and of course, tied the record for the most career seven touchdown games.  Manning threw for two touchdowns to Wes Welker, two to Demaryius Thomas, two to Julius Thomas, and one to Andre Caldwell.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
