Shaun Alexander Wins MVP

[BIV]

As it should be.

NEW YORK -- Shaun Alexander (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5048) was getting tired of having golfing partner Marshall Faulk (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2728) remind him who owned an Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award. So Alexander went out and got himself one -- in record-breaking style.

Alexander set an NFL mark with 28 touchdowns, led the league in rushing and ran away with the MVP voting Thursday. And with free agency on the horizon, the Seattle running back could parlay his sensational year into unprecedented riches.

"Marsh and I go golfing and he will talk about MVPs and this and that as he drops another putt in," Alexander said. "It is one of those things where I think it is more for the writers and media until after you retire. When you retire, that is when guys seem like they talk about it a little bit more."

I have no problems with him winning the title.....but I am PISSED that Tiki finished 4th.

Tom fucking Brady beat out Tiki? I could have fucking QB'd that team to a division title!! Sure he had a good year, but he wasn't even the most valuable player on that team!!! Take him off that team, they still win the division at 10-6....take Tiki off the Giants and we're suddenly in the Reggie Bush hunt

He should have finished 2nd...only reason why Peyton did was the same reason why Gino Toretta won the Heismann...QB of the best team...

Tiki #4 is a joke. SA won & deserves it. P. Manning, whatever. T. Brady #3 is comical. No way, no how. Bravo Sierra.

[ProfessorAnt]

No one cares who came in second. Do you remember who came in second last year to Manning?

[Multiple Miggs]

They got it right this year. No one else was even close.

[Papagolash]

No fucking way, Tiki should have gotten it.

[MattyIceGfunk]

Tiki showed up the last half of the year it seems like. I dont wanna hear about him not winning.

Shaun did it all year. Alexander was the MVP hands down.

We are not the only people who feel this way. It's a sham, QB's always get the nod. It sucks!

It's a good choice, he did set the TD record and the Seahawks are #1 seed in the NFC. Manning did not dominate statistically this season, he just won.

MVP is always a geek stat award.

Anyone who thinks the Pats would have still gone 10-6 without Brady is out of their mind. Patriots miss the playoffs by a mile if Brady was injured. He held them above water almost single-handedly for the first half of the season.

Add Offensive Player of the Year as well. Very nice.

[Halo Five]

I was happy to see Tiki got 5th place in voting... he is one of the over looked players in the league.

I don't follow football much, so the only thing that stood out to me was when the article referred to Marshall Faulk as his "golfing partner".
