Associated Press photos say Peyton Manning is the 2009 NFL MVP

PrintOne of our readers noticed that the photos on Yahoo! Sports featuring Peyton Manning had the following tagline recently inserted:
Manning has been selected as The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player of the Year.
The photos that our readers are viewing there are the same ones we use here. We get them sent to us from Associated Press, which just so happens to be the sponsor for the NFL Most Valuable Player Award.
So, if the AP pictures are claiming that Manning is the AP NFL Most Valuable Player... yeah, that's pretty much AP letting the cat out of the bag early; not that there was any real doubt or suspense as to who the MVP was.
This award is Peyton Manning's fourth NFL MVP. That is an NFL record. No other player in 89 years of NFL history has ever won four MVPs. This means Manning has eclipsed Unitas, Brown, Favre, Montana, Elway, Starr, Baugh, Payton, and just about every other great player you could ever think of. Four MVP awards takes Peyton Manning one step closer to that "Best of All-Time" title. We've seen people like Jets coach Rex Ryan call him the best ever, and the statement has been echoed in the media by Trent Dilfer and others. Since no other person has won four MVPs, the "Best of All-Time" moniker now carries even more weight.
Congrats on the big award, Big P! Now, let's go win another damn Super Bowl so we can add more metal to your trophy case.
Go Colts! Go Peyton!

Is there a possibility
that those photos are actually from past years when Manning won the MVP?
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
Not really
They’re photos from games this season. It’d be strange for them to tag photos from this season saying he’s won the MVP.

Hmmm I see
My internet is totally unable to open a single page from Yahoo, that’s why I asked
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
Another Confirmation

Cites the Star article as its reference though.
I wouldn't ever cite PFT
as confirmation.

That seems more like
a clarity/style issue than making an actual error.

Ya know... I think Congratulations are in order.
You have become a meme here. Where elsewhere there are grammar nazis, here we have Cass’d.
We need someone to go over to /b/ and try to take this meme mainstream…
Go Colts!

Just like monkeybusiness
is proud to have his own tag on KSK, I’m proud to have my own meme.

Best QB of All Time?
At least of the decade. I’d say, barring injury, he wins it again next year.
How long until he breaks Marino’s records?
About 3 years I think

Congrats to Peyton!
I’m happy for him but I kind of want to be greedy and have him win 2 more MVP’s. One on Feb. 7th and another for the next regular season so he’d have won 3 in a row (only Favre did that but he shared one).
Either way Go Colts!!!
I'll be ok with just the February 7 MVP.

Of course, if Wayne or Clark win that MVP I am cool too. : ]

That Manning dude is pretty good
I think we should keep him.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
really?? i didn't think he was very good, nor did i think he deserved the award :)
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

This was the highlight of the
season last year. We have so much more to look forward to this year.
