I'd have to go with Brees just barely. And yes, I'm surprised at the result (or at least by the margin) on espn.com. Apparently a lot of people thought the question was which QB has had the better career.

From his game diary...

9:12: Six straight completions for Brees. First down at the Indy
5. Combining his 2008 season (second-most passing yards ever) with this
season (winning a Super Bowl, outplaying Warner, Favre and Manning in
the playoffs) and his Super Bowl performance (32-of-39, 288 yards, no
picks, no fumbles, complete control), as well as what he means to his
team and his city, I guess the biggest shocker coming out of Super Bowl
44 is that Drew Brees is clearly the best quarterback alive
right now. By any calculation. I had a different answer for that
question as recently as 24 hours ago. Gotta love sports.

Did we ever figure out why Eli Manning always dresses like a 13-year-old rich kid attending his first wedding? I'm not wearing a tie! No! And I want to wear that light sports jacket with the green pants. I don't care if it doesn't match! That's what I want to wear!

After last night, isn't "What if the 2006 Dolphins had pursued Brees instead of stupidly going after Daunte Culpepper?" undeniably the best football "What If?" of this decade? If Miami gets Brees, the Saints don't win Super Bowl 44; Nick Saban doesn't flee Miami as quickly as he did, or at the very least, doesn't go to Alabama (now we're swinging this year's NCAA title as well); the AFC would have the four best QBs (Brees, Rivers, Brady and Manning); Miami's future is obviously altered; and the Saints are almost definitely playing in San Antonio right now. Good golly.

Bonus comment: I am going to go ahead and call LaDainian Tomlinson to the Saints right now. He just went on the record saying he doesn't expect to be back in SD. Brees will lobby hard for him. Despite his limitations, he is still a very effective runner, especially in a tandem system. Moreover, he is still a GREAT goal line back - which the Saints could obviously still use (see Mike Bell last night). Pierre Thomas' performance last night sure made it a little less likely, but I would not be surprised to see the Saints give LT a long look.

but i still think LT will command a good bit of coin and the saints have a lot of things to tie up on the current squad. If they are going to go out of their way to spend some money, I'd like to see it on a pass rusher.

Another great thought from the Bill Simmons piece:

A long interception touchdown in a big moment is the single most exciting play to see in person at a football game, narrowly edging a touchdown bomb, a punt return TD and any time JaMarcus Russell tries to complete a pass longer than 3 yards. You can see the guy break better in person, and if the crowd is leaning towards that team anyway, the fans (usually dead, with only two exceptions this past decade: Rams-Pats and Giants-Pats) make a noise that they just don't make for any other play.

I have to agree. When I think of big plays I saw in person, AJ's pick 6 and Banks' pick 6 are pretty high on the list. KP's return is up there too. When I think of this year's egg bowl, the first thing I think of is Broomfield's pick and Mitchell's big pick.

So - buy/sell - the long pick 6 is the most exciting play to see in person. Buy.

but I am telling you, Brees and LT are best friends, and Brees is the king of New Orleans right now and certainly has Payton's ear.

Does it make perfect sense for N.O.? No.

I will tell you this though, LT is a very unselfish player and he wants to win bad. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a soft deal to reunite with Brees on a championship caliber team. Plus, he is a Texan, so LA is close to home. Plus it will be continued cosmic punishment for me abandoning the Saints in 94.

I've seen a lot happen in collegefootball stadiums but the pick six makes a stadium shake.

If Manning had thrown a 40-yard TD that would have been exciting but not really terribly unexpected. But the pick-6had all the excitement a TD pass would haveplus itgave you the "Holy ****! I sure didn't expect the SAINTS to score on that play!" reaction.</p>

Think about where I am coming from, 90% + of all the football games I attend involve Miss State so I have the rare claim that I have seen more pick 6's than 40+ yard bombs.

The thing about the bomb though, it is quick. Ball goes in the air, and you know immediately whether the DB is beat. Seeing a CB break on a ball like CB did in the Egg Bowl, then scanning the field to see if anyone is going to get him, watching him almost fall trying to juke Snead. It is pure pandemonium until he hits paydirt.

Same thing with Banks. My eyes were scanning back and forth like a damn owl trying to find the person that was going to take him down (as I ran half the length of the upper deck following him to the endzone).

RBs are a dime a dozen.. LT has lost the explosion and cutting ability that made him great.. teams will want him but he won't command high dollars

As stated, the surprise factor. The flip of the script... especially when the other team is driving towards the red zone. And especially if it basically wins the damn Super Bowl.

Blocked punt TD to open the Dome back up was a pretty sweet live moment as well.
