The other guys that I mentioned were consistently good throughout the season, and if removed from their teams, would have had a greater impact than if Peyton actually rehabbed to get to full strength and let Sorgi start.<BR/><BR/>He had a great second half, but the season as a whole didn't merit the award.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-25695801759906726352009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:002009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:00You know I love Peyton, so I am just going to keep...You know I love Peyton, so I am just going to keep my mouth shut. He did get an overwhelming number of the votes--as I am sure you know. You have a blog so you can voice your opinion. <BR/><BR/>You would have been entertained by the Indy media Sunday and Monday. Most people are calling for Tony Dungy to retire. While I wish we would do better in the playoffs, I think we should be careful what we wish for. Most cities would give their right arm for the seasons we have had. <BR/>I thank my lucky stars we aren't Detroit, Kansas City and about a dozen other cities.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364007098593028149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-8676739369519425022009-01-05T12:55:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:55:00.000-05:00I think Tampa is unlikely.

I don't think that's Tampa.<BR/><BR/>As for the best fit for Cassel - I think that depends on where Josh McDaniels ends up. If Pioli and McDaniels end up in Cleveland, I wouldn't be surprised if Cassel ends up there. Other places that I can see making a run at him - Detroit, Minnesota, Chiefs, and to a lesser extent - Rams, 49ers and Cardinals.<BR/><BR/>The Cassel sweepstakes is going to be interesting.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-61059529923335044182009-01-05T12:32:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:32:00.000-05:00after watching some of the ravens miami game yeste...after watching some of the ravens miami game yesterday... Ed Reed has my vote for MVP. i've always thought one reason Peyton gets so many votes is all those commercials he does.<BR/><BR/>the cassell situation is interesting. think he'll wind up in tampa bay?Chris Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843546323461336020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-57887897156083575192009-01-05T12:01:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:01:00.000-05:00Huh.Possible, I suppose, but this is also the pres...Huh.<BR/><BR/>Possible, I suppose, but this is also the president who has issued the fewest of any to hold office.

I would have gone with Pennington, myself.<BR/><BR/>Insofar as Bush pardoning Clemens, the fact that charges haven't been filed doesn't have to make a difference. The President can issue a pre-emptive pardon, before any charges are made, thus making the filing of charges a waste of time. For an example of same, see Ford's pardon of Nixon. Nixon was never formally charged with any crimes.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
