“I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.”

- Taylor Swift 

This week I chose to complete the king of meltdowns, essentially I had chosen this assignment because I thought that it would fairly easy. The “King of Meltdown” was described as the easiest assignment to found on ds106. It requires you to scour the internet for random and awkward photos of celebrities, which was the easy part. But the more difficult portion of the assignment would be finding a coordinating quote or joke that goes along with the quote. I chose this quote and photo because I am in my opinion different form the average African American male. And Taylor Swift in this photo exhibits her diversity and willingness to be different.

For as long as I can remember I have never been good at finding a quote that goes along with a picture, but when I saw this assignment I thought I would challenge myself to find a perfect combo. In this picture Peyton Manning is conducted his offense to make the right play. Around the league Peyton is known for being one of the smartest quarterbacks, and that is what he is showing you in this picture. 

The quote that Brian Urlacher says about Peyton really describes this photo. Brian Urlacher is one of the best players in the league and knows how difficult it is to play against Peyton. What Brian is trying to say in his quote is Peyton is always two steps ahead of everyone else on the field. It’s almost like Peyton sees the play happening before it happens. If you do happen to fool Peyton you better know it is  not going to happen again.
