(By the way, they should rename the MVP award to Most Valuable Back, since only two players have received it who weren't quarterbacks or running backs: placekicker Mark Moseley [1982] and defensive tackle Alan Page [1971].)

I thought Lawrence Taylor won it also in 86?

Pretty damn insane how many QB's and RB's have won, your point is valid.

Glory boys get all the props, unjustly I may add.. Brady nailed it with his latest comments.

Who would have thunk.. I agree with one of the glory "golden" boys on something. ;)

My feeling always is, the most valuable player award in a team sport doesnt make a lot of sense, Brady said via the Boston Herald. I can understand the most valuable golfer or something like that. But Michael Vick is a hell of a player, the best player for that team. He fits what they do. Peyton Manning fits what his team does well.

Even Brady recognizes that its not really fair the award tends to center around quarterbacks.

Unfortunately, its really a quarterback award, even though theres a lot of great players that really dont get recognition, so many great players in this league. I dont know, I guess they have to do it like that. But the only award I ever cared about is a Super Bowl ring.

Put any of those winning QBs and RBs behind a terrible O-line and then what? It astounds me how O-line players get no consideration for the MVP when we have so many cases where pro-bowl players became average over night when the O-line went to hell.

Barry Sanders had a great offensive line, right? Lomas Brown, I'll give you, he was a stud. Who else?

Barry Sanders is the only guy I can think of that bucks the trend since I started as a NFL fan. Alexander in Seattle went from a MVP type back to out of the league. LT in San Diego really dropped off huge when the Charges line went to hell. Granted it is hard if you can't put the tag on one player on the line making the difference.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (9h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (11h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (12h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (13h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you

wpr (13h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (13h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (13h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (13h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (14h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (14h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (14h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (14h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (14h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.
