So, MVP candidates for the 2007 season will be judged on their 2006 performance?

Looks like any hack can get a job writing for SI.

idiotic and an article full of unprovable, baseless premises. Ass.

I think that guy took his eye off the ball.

My cousin is a die hard Raiders fan. He's less concerned about receiving an apology from Randy for his behavior in Oakland than he is anxious to finally read a death notice on Al Davis announcing his team can finally get sold to a 21st century owner and hopefully quit making stupid coaching and personnel decisions...

And to whom should Randy apologize for Minnesota - the cheapskate owner who was pocketing cap money for years in anticipation of a maximum profit on investment sale, the scumball HC who was scalping Superbowl tickets and pressuring his players to funnel theirs through him, or that fraudulent MVP QB whose errant throws he was running down until he decided he was in fact the real talent in Minnesota and childishly set out to prove they could win without throwing to Moss...

He was a writer for the San Diego Chargers San Diego Union-Tribune now he's a writer for SI.
What were they thinking hiring this talentless queefer?
We'll have to see what he thinks of Merriman's character ... freaking tool.

That's not right. Although i am convinced Brady is a shoe in at this point wheter they go undefeated or not, Moss should not be counted out because of last year or the year before.

Hacks, as you so eloquently put it, have populated the staff of that magazine for some number of decades now.

And as the season wears on, we'll, unfortunately, be able to read and hear them (on CNN and, to a lesser extent, ESPN) as they spew ever more garbage out at us, ad nauseum, ad infinitum....

That's pretty much the only downside I see on this season.

I'm not a big Randy Moss fan. I love what he does for my team but his time in Oakland makes it hard for me to like the man (Even if your teammates suck and your coach/owner/GM are idiots who run the team into the ground it doesn't mean you should make things worse).

That said, I read this article earlier today and thought it was absurd. The 2007 MVP shouldn't be judged on anything but how he plays in 2007.

Of course, the 2007 MVP will be Brady anyway.

probably similar to rodney harrison's

The larger issue is that we in the media and public constantly complain about athletes being in trouble -- particularly in the African-American community -- yet we seem reluctant to accept our role in the problem, just as some troubled players refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.

I see someone has graduated with honours from the Jason Whitlock school of journalism.

i'm sure he picked up his bad habits while in sd.

These SI writers, and all the rest of the media types ... they're all sniffing glue or something. Such petty jealousy I've never seen before towards a team!! They just play to their "fan base" which happens to be almost everybody OUTSIDE of NE.

Anyway, more fuel for the fire.
