Brady Wins MVP, But Who Voted for Brett Favre?! January 5, 2008
Posted by Marquis Chapman in Football, NFL, Sports.16 comments
New England Patriot’s Quarterback Tom Brady was named the NFL MVP, after a record setting season with the New England Patriots. Brady, who threw for a record 50 touchdowns this season, led the Patriots to a record setting season with a 16-0 record.
“I have always been a huge football fan and will always have great respect for the history of this game,” Brady said. “I am flattered to join such an esteemed list of players, many of whom I consider the greatest of all time. I hope that I can set as great of an example for kids around the world as the previous MVPs did for me. “
A total of 50 media members who cover the NFL, voted for this year’s MVP. 49 of the 50 members voted for Brady, with one member voting for Green Bay Packer’s quarterback Brett Favre.
Now, Favre had an amazing season himself, leading the Packers to an amazing record of 13-3, after a disappointing season the previous year. However, how could anyone in their right mind not vote for Tom Brady?! He had one of the best seasons in the history of the NFL. What could that one media member possibly say Brett Favre did better than Brady this year? This by far should have been an unanimous choice for Brady to win the MVP.
Regardless of that one media member, Brady got the award that everyone else in the world thought he deserved. Hopefully, Brady and the Pats can put a perfect ending to this season by winning the Superbowl.
Michael Vick to Only Serve 12 Months? January 5, 2008

Good news for Michael Vick supporters, the Altanta Falcon QB may only serve 12 of the 23 months he was given on December 10th. The following is an excerpt from yahoo.com:
“Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick could be getting out of federal prison much earlier than anticipated after applying for a prison-monitored drug rehabilitation program and evidently being moved into the program in Leavenworth, Kan.
The program could have Vick out of prison by the end of this year and perhaps back in the NFL by the 2009 season.
A source confirmed to Yahoo! Sports on Friday that Vick has applied to the program, which is run only at the federal facility at Leavenworth. An official with the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Vick was being transported to Leavenworth.
Under the program, Vick could be released after serving only 12 months of the 23-month sentence Vick was given Dec. 10 in Richmond, Va. It’s unclear exactly when Vick would be released because it’s unclear whether the 12-month term starts from when he voluntarily began serving his prison term in November or whether it starts from when he enters Leavenworth.”

All Talk on the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and Capital One Bowl January 2, 2008
Posted by Marquis Chapman in College Football, Football, Sports.8 comments
The three bowl games I was most interested in watching were the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and Capital One Bowl. Here is All Talk on the three bowl games.
Rose Bowl
Call me crazy, but for some reason, I really thought Illinois was going to make a game of it. USC has struggled with scrambling quarterbacks in the past, and Illinois’ Juice Williams is as mobile as they come. However, USC dominated this game winning 49-17, which happens to be the third largest margin of victory in a BCS game. The Trojans also managed to set a Rose Bowl record of 633 total yards. The Trojans were doing whatever they wanted to do against their opponent, forcing turnovers and turning them into touchdowns. Overall, it was a decent game. I thought Illinois could possibly make a game of it, but USC was just too good.
Sugar Bowl
After watching this game, I really wished Georgia could have played USC in the Rose Bowl. It would have been a much more exciting game, and definitely not so much of a lopsided victory for the Trojans. The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the Hawaii Warriors, much like USC did to Illinois, with a score of 41-10. Georgia’s defense really stepped up, sacking Hawaii’s QB Colt Brennan eight times. Three of those sacks belonged to Georgia’s Marcus Howard. Howard, who was named the games most outstanding player, also forced two fumbles, and returned one for a touchdown. While Howard had an amazing game for Georgia, Hawaii’s Colt Brennan played horrible. The Heisman candidate completed 22 of 38 passes, and threw for only 169 yards.
Capital One Bowl
The Capital One Bowl was very exciting to watch. I was rooting for Michigan because I wanted Lloyd Carr to go out with a victory. Michigan stepped up to the challenge, defeating the Florida Gators 41-35. As expected, Florida’s Tim Tebow had a good game, racking up 154 yards, and throwing three touchdowns. Tebow also had 57 yards on the ground and a touchdown. The real story however, is Michigan’s offense. Michigan’s QB Chad Henne had is way in the air, throwing for 373 yards, and three touchdowns. The run game wasn’t bad either. Although he had a couple of fumbles, senior RB Mike Hart had two touchdowns, totaling 129 yards on the ground. It was a great game, and even a greater moment to see such an outstanding coach go out with a victory.
Overall, the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl were good games if you like lopsided victories, but the Capital One Bowl more than made up for it, with an exciting game between Michigan and Florida.
