Anyone who really knows football has said all along it was Peterson in a run-away. Bronco homers and Manning fans from Indy thought just the opposite. Guess it shows the difference between a real football fan and a homer. 36 votes to Mannings 8 = run-away.

Adrian Peterson totally deserved this award. He is an unbelievable player. But thejuddstir calling people out for being homers? Give me a break.

Too bad the best RB in the NFL for the past five years will never sniff a Superbowl playing for that inept franchise.

What a great point whatjusthapped (sic)(pretty sure he was going for happened, but couldn’t spell it right) just made.

The Vikings have only made the playoffs 3 out of APs 6 years….

Peyton deserved yet another MVP the man has proven all doubters that he is still capable of playing at the highest level.

Adrian Peterson is obviously the best Running Back in football, but Calvin should’ve won something.

If not for CP’s performance against the Packers, we wouldn’t even have made the playoffs.

There is only 1 of 2 logical explanations for such a comment.
A- you are knowingly trying to get a rise out of people
B- you are a complete idiot!
And I am leaning towards door #2

Tom Brady won it in 2007 and 2010.

They are lucky that Russell, Luck and RGIII were rookies this year. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten any votes at all.

Best 3rd round fantasy pick ever!! Seriously though the guy is a beast. In today’s pass happy league it’s awesome to see a player who may be the best ever when it’s all said and done. I’m not old enough to say I saw Jim Brown.. But I’m pretty sure this guy will go down as one of the all time greatest athletes to play the game.
