Let’s talk for a minute about the one asshole that voted for Brett Favre for this years AP NFL MVP award. I understand that by all accounts Brett Favre is a great guy - a man of great character. He’s led his team through many victorious seasons, he’s won a Superbowl, and he’s won the MVP before as well. I can’t take anything away from the man. This year, he took a very young and inexperienced team to a 13-3 record, and he put up great numbers. He was Sport’s Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year. And we maybe have been talking about the Packer’s 16-0 record this time of year if they had been able to acquire Randy Moss instead of the Patriots.

But Brett Favre’s name has no business coming up in the MVP discussion this year. It’s not even close, and I’m actually angry, home team aside, that someone felt they had to vote for him. If ANYONE in the league, ANYONE, should have received a vote for MVP aside from Tom Brady, it should have been Randy Moss. So once you decide you’re going to vote for a Quarterback, how in your right mind could you vote for someone other than Tom Brady? Let’s look at some numbers…

You read it right folks - Tom Brady leads in every major passing statistic category. A lot of those aren’t even close, and he actually has better rushing numbers too. And lets not forget the most important numbers: 16 and 0. Don’t get me wrong, 13-3 is a great season, the Packers surprised everyone. Brett Favre put up numbers late in his career that would have won the MVP 8 times out of 10 seasons, but not this season. How can Tom Brady have the best season that a quarterback has EVER HAD, and someone decide to vote for a DIFFERENT QUARTERBACK for MVP. It’s ridiculous!

If anyone out there knows what the justification for the Favre vote was, please let me know, because I really am curious.

Update from Kurti: Per my comment, here is audio of an interview on WEEI this morning with Frank Cooney (the lone vote for Favre).
