Strike five for Cris Carter. Hall of Fame voters can suck it. They need to watch some football. Learn some football. Actually they need to get out and let those that care about the game and its history take over.
Three out of the five years that Carter's been robbed a former Vikings player has made the final cut. I think that's been done to keep me from coming completely unhinged. Randall McDaniel, John Randle and now Chris Doleman. It does help.
My favorite Doleman moment was a series of plays against the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989. He ran over and around, just took apart Hall of Fame tackle Anthony Munoz. It was unbelievable. Congratulations Chris Doleman.
One last piece of advice to the voters. Saying that Cris Carter will some day get his day does not make it okay.
Its difficult but yesterday is really about those that made it.
Congratulations to Chris Doleman, Dermontti Dawson, Curtis Martin, Willie Roaf, Cortez Kennedy and Jack Butler.
The NFL pulled out their version of the Oscars last night. Congratulations to those that won awards and to Jared Allen for deserving one.
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
Offensive Player of the Year: Drew Brees
Defensive Player of the Year: Terrell Suggs-Suggs was fantastic but this award goes to Jared Allen. Suggs should have won the part of a great defense(Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Haloti Ngata)defensive player of the year. Allen had little to no help and offenses couldn't handle him this year. 22 sacks!
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Cam Newton
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Von Miller
Comeback Player of the Year: Matthew Stafford
Coach of the Year: Jim Harbaugh
Walter Payton Man of the Year: Matt Birk
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says that he's had about 50 concussions. That explains so much.
I sure wish that Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay would shut up. The media is annoying enough with the Peyton Manning drama. Irsay keeps fueling that fire.
So, there's a big game today.
Real brutal reality of life in football: The New England Patriots released receiver Tiquan Underwood the night before the Super Bowl. It wasn't anything that Underwood did. It was more about the position that he played. The bottom of the roster is often juggled based upon numbers. The Patriots must have felt the need for an extra lineman rather than a receiver.
I still can't believe that its been 35 years since the Vikings played in this game.
I think that the Patriots take this game. That means little since I've picked about two games right this entire post season. Never underestimate the importance of momentum based on emotion. The Patriots are driven to win this title for owner Robert Kraft. Its been a tough year with the passing of his wife, Myra. This is a very close franchise. Myra Kraft meant a lot to all of the players. Maybe my pick is based upon my hope that this happens. Most of the time I just hope for a Super Bowl game. I think that the Patriots and the Giants are set to provide that.
