So

This means 18 sports writers are nothing more than clueless idiots or blind homers to the teams they cover. Chris Johnson for MVP? Someone actually voted for Kurt Warner? Dorks.

Where's Matt Cassell

THIS IS ABSAHD!

He'd be worth a vote -- though clearly not a winner.

Matt Ryan is another one I think should have gotten a vote or two.

Harrison, Rivers, Warner, Turner and Johnson surprise me. Seems like this often comes down to the question of what MVP means: Best player in the league? or most valuable (necessary) to his team?

If I ever got invited to the conversation, my instinct would be to make a list of guys who’s team finds absolutely necessary to its success, judge the degree of that need, rank accordingly and judge the top few against each other.

This was definitely Peyton’s award this year: no one has done more for his team at a higher level.

OTOH, for argument’s sake, if you took Peyton away from the Colts and Peterson away from the Vikings, I think the Colts would win 10 out of 10 games. Peterson is arguably more important (and therefore more valuable) to his team than Manning is to the Colts.

I think the same could be said for Cassel. I’m not saying he should have won. And I know you love to bag on Pats fans. But it isn’t absurd to include him in the conversation.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead

Seriously?

Chris Johnson gets an MVP vote and DeAngelo Williams doesn’t? That’s whack.

I just saw Chris Johnson complaining about something on ESPN

This is off the subject, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more stupid football player in my history of watching the game. The guy can barely talk.

he's good at football though

I still wish the Colts could have gotten him.

I know what you mean

I could barely watch him. It sounded like he mush in his mouth; also I don’t care if he is a professional football player, I wouldn’t even look his way if he tried to talk to me. He’s disgusting!!!
