when they get to a big stage like the super bowl playing against a very experienced denver broncos and peyton manning, who has a super bowl ring on his finger already. but, don, not the case at all. seattle now has their first franchise super bowl. >> i couldn't believe it. it just kept getting worse and worse and worse every time i would look up at the television screen. i was at the game. i had to come back to do this special. but it kept getting worse. i'm wondering about the future of peyton manning. >> i think everybody is wondering about the future of peyton manning at this point. you know, this was a really big game for him, because this was a game where he could have put some of that criticism to bed. he has often been criticized for not being a cold weather player and not all of that criticism is really fair. and he has also been criticized for not being a big game player. and some of that criticism isn't exactly fair. let's remember, like i said, he does have a super bowl ring on his finger. he had the opportunity in this super bowl to put all of that to bed. but he really did not live up to it at all. 43-8 was the final score.
