Some of the greatest quarterbacks in the history

Super Bowl ring during their legendary careers. Peyton Manning is not yet in the Hall of Fame http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ryan-finley-jersey , but he will, soon, be enshrined in Canton as a two-time Super Bowl champion. Peyton’s younger brother, Eli, is the greatest QB in the history of the New York Giants, and he also has a pair of Super Bowl rings in his personal trophy case. Joe Montana, Steve Young, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, John Elway and Tom Brady all hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy over the years. Truth be told Renell Wren Jersey , probably the biggest reason some people rate Brady over Peyton Manning in their lists of the greatest to ever play the position has to do with the fact that Brady has more rings. Were he to retire today and not play another down of meaningful football, Brady would step away with five championships on his resume, and many would refer to him as the best postseason QB to ever do it. Even though football and basketball are team sports, fans and critics often view championship rings as the most important thing as it pertains to debates over who, between two athletes, is the greater player. For all of the tremendous QBs who have been part of championship parades, there are those who probably shouldn’t have Super Bowl rings but do for one reason or another. In some cases, quarterbacks were carried to titles by history-making defenses that dominated opponents. Other not-so-great QBs landed roles as backups to better starters who earned Most Valuable Player honors. Remember, though, that not all backup QBs are created equal. Nick Foles was not originally intended to guide the Philadelphia Eagles on a deep playoff run and to the Super Bowl, but he was inserted into the lineup after Carson Wentz http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-michael-jordan-jersey , who performed like an MVP candidate throughout the fall, was lost to a season-ending injury. Foles will eventually be paid like an All-Pro, even if he never again plays as well as he did leading up to the Eagles winning it all, and the man who was his backup in February is one of the QBs who, as of the summer of 2018, shouldn’t have a ring but does. Maybe he will follow in Foles’ footsteps, show that he can win a title and remove himself from these types of discussions. So much can, and often does, change in the NFL in the blink of an eye.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays, routinely using relievers as starters to deal with a rash of injuries T.J. Hockenson Jersey , are pitching their way to victories.

The Rays (37-40) go into a two-game interleague series against the Washington Nationals with the momentum of a three-game sweep of the American League East-leading Yankees. New York hadn’t lost three games in a row at any point all season, but the Rays pulled it off, capped with a 7-6 win in 12 innings on Sunday at Tropicana Field.

“That’s the best team in the league right now, them and the Astros … I think coming home from that we had confidence and it all carried over into that series,” said Rays rookie first baseman Jake Bauers, who won the game in the 12th inning.

Since beginning their experimental use of relievers as “openers” to start games, the Rays have a 3.07 ERA, and entering Sunday’s game, that edged the Yankees for the best ERA in baseball since May 19. They’ve won five of seven games to again challenge .500, and Sunday’s walkoff home run by Bauers was their second this season, after totaling one in three seasons from 2015 to 2017.

The Nationals (41-35) had gone 3-9 in their last 12 games before Sunday night’s rain-delayed game against the Phillies http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey , dropping into third place in the National League East. They’ll send out Gio Gonzalez (6-4, 3.08 ERA), who has no wins in his last four starts and his ERA has risen from a sterling 2.10 to 3.08.

Gonzalez lasted only four innings in his last outing, giving up five hits and two runs against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. For his career against the Rays, he’s 2-2 with a 5.54 ERA, though he’s only faced Tampa Bay once since 2012. That was a rough 2015 start at Tropicana Field, lasting 3 1/3 innings and giving up five earned runs on eight hits, walking more batters than he struck out. For his career at Tropicana, he has an 11.25 ERA.

The Rays will have an actual starter on the mound in Blake Snell (9-4, 2.48), who is in line for an All-Star appearance after the first three months of his season. He has just one loss in his last seven starts Will Harris Jersey , and while he has never faced the Nationals, he has generally fared well in interleague play, going 3-2 with a 2.33 ERA in eight career starts.

Tampa Bay, hoping to build on its current momentum, has a tough week ahead, with two games against Washingto, then another four against Houston to close out the homestand.

Washington goes from St. Petersburg to a weekend four-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies before returning home for a week.

The Rays got a head start with a Sunday afternoon game and the Nationals saw their prime-time game delayed by rain, keeping them on the field beyond midnight and still needing to fly to Florida for the two-game stopover.
