Why Drew Brees Is NOT The NFL MVP
Drew Brees has a fair shot at being this year’s league MVP. How good would the Chargers be without L.T.? Pretty good. How good would the Saints be without Drew Brees? Horrible.
Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Both teams would be bad. Very bad.
Note: Not a direct response to this article, but it definitely does pertain to it.

Pro Bowling- Football Style
With the deadline for fans to vote on Pro Bowl rosters having come and gone, here is my ballot on who has proved most deserving to represent their conference in Honolulu come February.

A Quarterback A Day…
by Matt Wells
Every day in the sports world, we are presented with fascinating stories about who got traded, who called out their coach, who is in the running for an award, and why two players don’t get along. This NFL season, we have been faced with Terrell Owens sagas, Giants players ripping on each other and their coach, and the Raider and Cardinals, once again, stinking up the league.
Sure, T.O. and LaDanian Tomlinson have made the headlines, despite their seemingly less dramatic positions. But, the 2006 season has been the year of the quarterback. Most of the teams have had their quarterbacks make the headlines.

Bold Predictions By A Bold Man
Bold is a funny word.
Just who is this guy to tell me who to pick?
I, like many of you, probably participate in Yahoo! Sports’ Fantasy Football Pro Pickem’
To my dismay, up until this point I’ve only picked 120 correctly, whilst the top fan from San Diego taunts me with his 129.
In any case, I’m about to change it all around this week, by picking upsets that only those who dare to dream dare pick. And on that note, here are my Week 14 Picks to Ponder:
