LOL ESPN

Now I don't think DeAngelo should win MVP, but to not have the league's TD leader and yards per carry leader even on the LIST is ridiculous.

But this shouldn't surprise me by now.

It just goes to show that if you kiss the right ass, or your daddy knows the right person, ANYBODY can be a sports writer in this country. There is no skill involved at all. Just know how to spell, know how to write a good paragraph, and know the rules of the game. Everything else is opinion and big market pandering.

Did you really expect him to be listed?

[neverlosethefeeling]

I could have figured as much..

[mantal]

Kurt Warner absolutely deserves the NVP. It's incredible what he has done for his team...

[MadHatter]

Guys accept it....we are a small market team that will not get national recognition.

Screw the media, screw the awards........we want the Lombardi.

Damn right.:hurray::rant:

[MadHatter]

I have no problem with Warner.

Comments on others:

Portis....good numbers, but team in sinking fast

Brees....just can not give MVP to a QB of a sub .500 team that won't sniff the playoffs

Manning....does nothing but not screw up. Giants success is run game and defense

[nosuchthingasapanther]

everyone listed has been performing since day one of the season, or is carrying their team in one way or another.

while williams' numbers are good, he isn't carrying the team...and he was quiet almost half the season.

he may lead the league in touchdowns, but that just happened on monday.

[rayzor]

lenwhale was leading the league in TDs and no one considered him either, did they?

[megadeth078]

Lendale is a touchdown vulture. He has a sh*ttier average, about 500 less rushing yards, less 100 yard games, sh*t amount of carries. He shouldn't even be considered. It's not like Deangelo's rushing touchdowns was their only argument either.

Yeah, I think it has to be Warner at this point.

small market bias again perhaps...

just like williams, lendale doesn't carry his team.

also like williams, he's seen as a part of the running game...not the running game.
