I still think Dan Orlovsky should have gotten the nod to lead the NFC to victory in Hawaii. How smart is he to take a safety with so much time left on the clock and get his team more field to defend. I saw Bill Parcells do that against my 'Skins back in 1987...the 'Skins lost that game.

Besides the Orlovsky slight, the voting left many fans looking as confused as Al Davis looking for his car in the parking lot!

Here's a few of my picks for NFC starters and why. The first one really hurts...

Romo is Burning

They have a shot that can clear this right up...

He missed several games with a broken nail and has had to deal with Thing 1, Thing 2, and all the wierdos in Dr. Suess' world...and still comes in to immediately get his team back in contention...oh how I hate him.

Facts: 63.1 completion %, 3,013 yds, 8.2 yds/completion, 273.9 yds/gm, 24 TD, 11 ints, 41 20+ yd/completion, 11 40+ yd/completion, 98.3 QB rating

Sure he's around arguably the most talented squad in the league...but considering all he deals with in football's spotlight, no one has been more key to a playoff run.

Drew's on a losing team, and Kurt has the best WR tandem in football. YES, BETTER THAN DALLAS!!!!! Romo has to share touches in a balanced offense and plays in the NFL's toughest division. 190 attempts fewer than Brees, on four fewer TD's.

Cowboys still suck!

Is it theft...or identity?

If you know me your probably surprised...a little pissed...and maybe think I'm retarded...but look at the numbers...and watch the game film. There isn't another home run hitter in the league with bigger runs, at bigger times.

Facts: 224 att (96 less than Adrian Peterson), 16.0 att/gm (7 less than AP), 1,229 yds, 5.5 yds/att (1st), 87.8 yds/gm, 14 TD (1st), 69T (2nd longest from scrimmage), 12 carries 20+, 5 carries 40+, 0 fumbles (seriously...6 less than AP)

Highlight a few numbers out of that list. He carried the ball only 16 times per game sharing 11.3 carries per game with Stewart. He still amassed top five yardage, league leading yards per carry, league leading TDs, many big plays and ZERO fumbles. Forget Smash and Dash...these guys are great and greater!

Seriously...Kurt for MVP? Are you kidding?

What can I say...the voters got this right. Even with the uproar concerning teams fixing the online voting...I GUARANTEE EVERYONE VOTED THESE GUYS IN!!!! How could you not?

They catch everything, the make every play, they make Old Man Winter look veral again...and they say NOTHING!!! They just play like no one else, and win ball games when every knows they're coming! In Arizona no less...

Facts:
Rec,Yds,Avg, Yds/G, Lng TD, 20+, 40+, 1st, 1st%, FUM

Anquan Boldin
89 1,038 11.7 86.5 79T 11 10 3 56 62.9 3

Larry Fitzgerald
88 1,200 13.6 85.7 75 9 16 3 58 65.9 1

I'll trade the Cardinals Dan Snyder and his money for these two guys...let's shake on it!

Captain Chaos fumbles, but still get leid

Before any one says: "he's a 'Skin fan, of course he'll say Cooley"...well...you're right...so what, its my list.

I did keep a critical stat on the list below to highlight that it should be Witten (I'm also from Knoxville, TN)...Captain Chaos can't seem to hold on to the ball.

He has killed momentum with all three of these fumbles early in games. But I love the guy...so HE'S the BEST TE IN FOOTBALL...in Washington.

FACTS: Rec, Yds, Avg Yds/G Lng TD 20+ 40+ FUM

5 Chris Cooley WAS
73 764 10.5 54.6 28 1 7 0 3

8 Jason Witten DAL
69 815 11.8 58.2 42 3 12 1 1

Again...my list!

Truth is...I gauge an O-line by their total offensive production, and total touchdowns. Goal line push says it all.

So....

We'll go with the Pan...lcons! Both run over every one...especially in the Red Zone!

The Gi...kings!

Pass rush, run stuffers...

Kiwanuka, Williams, Williams (pre-injury), Tuck

oh yea...the G-Men are 2nd against the rush
BTW...the Vikes are 2nd in sacks...

London got bamboozalled...run a muck

Before you say it...the man finished third in the league in tackles and led his team to a fifth ranked defense. Otherwise, Willis and Beason were great choices...but the other big snub was Chad Greenway. Hello, five sacks, two picks, and over 100 tackles.

Don't Gamble, get a Lawyer

Was there a hanging chad on this one or something...they didn't get anything right? I demand a recount...or a runoff...

Off the top of my head:

Lawyer Milloy, Chris Gamble, Carlos Rogers, and hell... Cedric Griffin had a better season than Antoine Winfield.

Look at Pass Def, Solo Tackles, Ints, and one of the smoothest names in football. I feel like adjusting my tie every time I say Lawyer Milloy...and I don't wear them. Oh yea, he leads all DBs with 86 tackles, 70 Solo. Chris Gamble is stought with 82 tackles with 74 solos and 19 Pass def...that's good for fourth in the league.

Must know where the bodies are buried

Only Martin Gramatica had a worse percentage...and he lost his job! Suisham's misses weren't just run of the mill...they were game losing misses. So that dudes got game, or pictures...I don't know!

BTW: Its good the Giants kickers are going...they should break a hip in the offseason and move to a "group living" community in South Florida this year.

Uhhh..what?

The dude's 183 years old, and still returning kicks 100+ yards, leading the league in return average when he has over 20 returns and gets an AARP discount at McDonald's.

And Rock Cartwright b/c he does it all. Besides 1144 return yards, and special teams wedge buster...its my list !
