No longer is it hip to praise Peyton Manning. He looks much older now, even elderly at times, trotting onto the field as if limping with a broken hip.

Whether gambling or coaching football, never apologize for getting lucky. Luck turns two ways, and what goes around usually comes around. Without a doubt, Mark Dantonio is the luckiest coach in the world this week.
