Prior to yesterday's ultra-frigid Broncos game against the Titans, the story line was simple: Peyton Manning plays lousy in the cold. Well, check that. Manning threw for 397 yards and four TDs in a 51-28 romp, and in an interview with KOA after the game, he told the author of that particular narrative to shove it.

See our top twenty post-game tweets about Manning and the cold below, illustrated with screen caps from the win. Number 20:
