Watching the game while being in a restaurant in a third world country with salsa blaring from a nearby bar, I didn't care about the half time show. I just thought it was funny more than anything. However it had too much symbolism/propaganda to my liking.
Plus having no sound made me draw my own conclusions: If you like D or play D yourself, this was a great game with a lot of sack and fumble action. Go D!!!

It's a shame really. People like you and me get a little older and we can go to the doctor and get testosterone therapy.
Athletes can't (as long as they are still playing). So they end up unable to compete with the younger guys. 
The exact opposite of professional bodybuilding. A guy Manning's age would be in the prime of his competitive years (since they can take steroids in MASSIVE amounts).
Not saying that pro football, basketball, or baseball should have players on massive amounts of steroids.
But I do think it would be only fair if they allowed testosterone therapy.
Perhaps set a level of free testosterone in the blood that is equal to the average man at age 25.
That way a guy in his 30's (and even well into his 40's) could still play at a high physical level by keeping their testosterone levels at an optimum level.
It would be freakin' awesome to have a guy like Manning with all of his experience and knowledge of the game still be able to "go" physically as well.
Just seems kind of unfair that "normal" people can get testosterone and keep their bodies in shape and their cocks hard...but a pro athlete has to suffer without. |
That's one gross piece of disinformation.There is much more to growing old than just declining testosterone levels. And in fact, even that is not a given as in
primitive rural areas old men have just as much testosterone as young men
I very much doubt that a highly trained 39yo athlete has problems with his testosterone levels. Testosterone is not the holy grail. Consistent training & recovery is. And really for a QB the most important thing is to read the field. Which he did very well as you state.
Kudos to him, they won!
