That, and they need a mix up... If this game was gonna be as lethargic as it was why not make it interesting like the NHL is doing... Make captains draft like this is a school yard or you can only kick field goals of 50+ or more otherwise you either have to punt it or go for it on 4th... Game counts for nothing might as well try to improve it

proudly reppin' 2 superbowl wins since DEFLATEGATE
Who would you have picked?
Clay Matthews...
The Packers are my favorite team and I don't even mind that Clay didn't win.
Troy did a lot of outstanding things this season and he's going to go down as one of the best Safeties ever. Clay had a great season...but there's only so much the man can do being double teamed for probably 10 games of the season haha
Troy is running around loose....He doesn't get blocked.
Maybe this will piss Clay off and he'll have more to prove for the game? lol
Also, look the fuck out for Charles Woodson....He wants it more than anyone. and it'll be shown.
edit: Also, grats to Tom Brady and his first of the two awards he's going to get. He's a beast.

Wait what? Polomalu is a great player but didn't deserve that award by any stretch of the imagination this year :/. Here's hoping that Clay (the rightful winner) ends up destroying Big Ben and proving a point..
Apparently no one saw Troy win the Steelers the Ravens game. fucking best defensive play all year.
Did anyone see how much different this Steeler team was last year without Polomalu? Thats why he won it, this team went from alright last year to a top defense again all because he returned to an everyday player
Polomalu means much more to his team than most defensive players. Ergo, he should win the Most Valuable Player award. This is contrasted to the Offensive MVP, which explicitly states that you must be a quarterback on a good team.
Clay Matthews had a hell of a year, and the fact that he got almost the same number of votes as Troy is testament to that. However, you can't sit there and say Polamalu doesn't make or break that defense, and that his strip of Flacco in the last game probably won the division for his whole team. He also had an amazing statistical year with 7 INTs, a career best. It's too bad you can't give the award to two people, because both of those guys deserved it. Matthews will have plenty of other chances, he's young.
Well if they tied in voting, wouldn't they share it? Or is that not how it works...?
That's just ridiculous. Sure, he makes the other guys back there better simply with his presence, but to say Ike Taylor and Ryan Clark aren't good is like saying... I don't know, something equally hyperbolic and stupid.
I love these Steelers fans: "Our team sucks except for Big Ben and Polomalu. But we're still the best team and have the best defense and we're going to win the Super Bowl!!!!!!!"
No, the Steelers have a good team overall. If the rest of the defense sucked and Big Ben had no weapons, the team wouldn't make the playoffs.

Agreeing with Polis4rule. Guys, our team doesn't suck. It has THE best defense and a pretty competent offense. We have other good players besides Polomalu and Big Ben. James Harrison? LaMarr Woodley? Markis Pouncey? Aaron Smith? Brett Keisel? Mike Wallace? Hines Ward? Antwaan Randle El? Heath Miller? Rashaard Mendenhall? All fantastic players. Sure, players like Polomalu stick out as really good, but there are many other fantastic players on the team. In fact, although I think Polomalu has been great this season and definitely deserves the award, I think James Harrison definitely deserves it more. He is a tank and is every QB's worst nightmare. Although Polomalu has been great, he's been somewhat quiet lately, and hasn't really been the star defender he's known as. Harrison, on the other hand, has continually kept the pressure on opposing teams and definitely holds much of the Steelers's defense together.
Quick, someone "sig" Lakers misspelling a sports players name after how he made a show of mocking pookar for misspelling a sports players name (although there was an added level of foot-in-face since pookar was being an ass about misspelling a players name in the process of said misspelling...but hey)
To Polamalu actually winning the award, Steelers are 16-4 with him, 6-8 without him the last two years. Does that mean he actually literally contributes that many extra wins? Hard to say, sports are complex for reasons like that...but it sure as fuck explains why the media eats it up, so I do not see any reason to be upset about him winning.
