Questions for the QBs

... and everyone else associated with the Super Bowl.

As As Marques Colston's unofficial publicist, I cover the NFL here at The Scratching Post. Now that the Saints are in the Super Bowl, I've got something to write about!

Since we've got two weeks before the big game, the press will be trying to squeeze out every last, little story possible from both teams. Michael Lombardi over at NFL.com has gotten the ball rolling with this piece where he compares Peyton Manning to Michael Jordan.
His dominance of his sport is Michael Jordanesque because, like Jordan once did in the NBA, Manning controls the entire game. Manning might not play defense, but his ability forces opposing offenses to alter their thinking -- to adjust to the "Manning" factor. With Manning as the opponent, teams are living and dying on every play, hoping to tip one pass, hoping for one critical drop that can get the defense off the field. But it is all just hope, as there is never a plan to really stop Manning, at least not one I've seen.
I think we need to help these guys out a little bit. "How is Peyton Manning like Michael Jordan" is a good one, but they're clearly going to run out of topics if we don't suggest a few. Here are some to get you started before you leave yours in the comments.

  • How is Drew Brees like Bart Starr?

  • Can the Colts play as well as the '68 Jets?

  • Would the Saints defense have been able to stop the Rams' Greatest Show on Turf?

  • How is Joseph Addai like a green mamba?

  • Does Reggie Bush change his own oil?

  • If Peyton Manning was a sandwich, what type would he be?

  • Who's better, Aquaman, the Incredible Hulk or Robert Meachem?
There. I've got you started. Feel free to add your own.
