ESPN Shocker: Tom Brady, not Aaron Rodgers or Andy Dalton, is NFL MVP (so far)

[dannydyn]

No doubt. The NFL's mythical MVP (through Week 6) award should go to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. (He has won two traditional MVP awards, in 2007 and 2010, and countless midseason nominations, but has Brady ever received an illustrious pre-midseason honor? I think not.)

And...the first words from the schmuck is "deflate."

Seriously, f*** them.

99% chance it will be either Brady or Rodgers.

Lets them have it we know Brady would prefer SB MVP!

 

[Kontradiction]

It's ESPN.

Rodgers, and the Packers offense as a whole, has looked average in recent weeks. Even at home vs SD.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, MVP.

BSPN, please get your arsss out of your head.
Brady threw a pick six Sunday. He IS NO GOOOOOD.
I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

The Monday Night game is still a month away. As the date nears, you will see a noticeable increase in fawning of Brady and the Pats by BSPN.

My guess is Kevin Seifert found out that he was one of the ESPN employees getting laid off today so he wrote this as an F U to piss off his former employer

I think Rodgers will struggle against strong defenses like Denver and Arizona. I remember the Patriots without Gronk in 2012; at one point Brady was something like 26 TDs, 2 INTs, and they were rolling, but when they faced an elite defense, that was when it was clear they needed Gronkowski. I expect Rodgers will find the same problem in missing Jordy Nelson. Can slice and dice bad to medium to good defenses but against very good defenses will be really missing his favorite weapon. Brady needs to play well against the Jets both times if he's going to win the MVP, or at least not put up any duds.

PSTN? I don't think I have that station.

That seed you are trying to plant for a Nov 23rd interview is currently being stamped on by all of Patriots Nation...don't even bother...ESPN is not worthy of TFB's presence...

Great memory... had to look it up... Brady was at 24-3... wound up 34-8. Kinda makes a difference without a big gun.

ESPN writes what sells. That's all they care about. The negative stuff on the patriots sold, so they chose the side that brought the money. You think they really go out of their way to hate the patriots? Anyone with that view obviously doesn't know anything about journalism or reporting. It's just about what sells, not about hating and singling out one team. Do not be delusional.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, MVP.

Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Oh god.

Even Ryan Fitzpatrick is confused by it.
