Peyton Is MVP

Peyton Manning won his third NFL MVP in a landslide. My favorite athlete since 1998 received 32 of the 50 total votes, with no other player receiving more than four. It is now Peyton and Favre as the only two guys with three MVPs. I predict Peyton ends with five by the time he's done.

Final Vote:
Peyton Manning- 32
Chad Pennington- 4
Michael Turner- 4
James Harrison- 3
Adrian Peterson- 3
Philip Rivers- 2
Kurt Warner- 1
Chris Johnson- 1

Here is the real question. Who in the world voted for Chris Johnson??? It seems to me that either T-time or Chris Johnson himself somehow is voting for the NFL MVP these days. That is ridiculous. Kurt Warner is the only other guy I don't agree with getting a vote, although it's much less crazy. Not a single vote for Drew Brees? Interesting. I love how Pennington and Rivers were the second and third QB vote getters in the MVP voting, but were both behind Cutler, Favre, Collins and Cassell in the Pro-Bowl voting. Man the Pro-Bowl voting is bad.

Phelps on SNL

Michael Phelps hosted Saturday Night Live last night and perpetuated the stereotype that Peyton Manning was the funniest athlete on SNL by far. Oh wait, that wasn't a stereotype...Peyton was seriously the only athlete I've seen that made skits funny because he was performing. There have been other skits which athletes were in that were funny but it was mostly because of the writing or other actors.

Last night Michael Phelps was just awful. You might think Wayne Gretzky was terrible back in the 90s but it didn't compare to how hard it was to watch Phelps messing up lines and saying things that were meant to be funny but weren't. Having him on the show did have one positive. It allowed the digital short guys to put together a hilarious Space Olympics skit.

Peyton Manning should definitely become an actor when he stops playing football. And I mean like a real comedic actor, not just being in movies because he's a star.
