ESPN Analyst Tim Hasselbeck, Peyton Manning and Icarus Who Dared To Fly

ESPN analyst i.e Tim Hasselbeck have long since apotheosized and made the one win and two loss Super Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning a Demi-God.  As idealistic as all of that, what is comically interesting and buffoon-like is the subsequent analysis and commentary when Peyton Manning loses as he did on 12/22/14; with his 4 turnover performance against the Cincinnati Bengals.  Tim Hasselbeck concluded that the Cincinnati Bengals defense confused Peyton Manning.

So the takeaway is  PeytonManning is great and a Demi-God when defenses are mediocre and cooperate by being patsies.  But as soon as defenses put on gladiatorial and Impi like comprehensive performances the apotheosized Demi-God Peyton Manning comes crashing down to earth as the impetuous Icarus who dared to fly.
