NFL Honors/HOF discussion

[Blackbird11]

Why do they announce the awards ahead of time? Doesn't that kind of ruin the suspense during the actual ceremony? This may be a dumb question, but I'm curious.

Peyton Manning gets comeback player of the year.

Much deserved.

[JO_75]

I know Bruce Arians did a good job but I'm shocked neither John or Jim got Coach of The Year. I mean they did take their teams to the Super Bowl.

[Gordo52]

I didn't know Steve Carrel is from Baltimore. He said he was a fan of both teams though, lame. Also Patriots. Extra lame.

The only knock Wilson had entering the draft really, was his size which IMO was stupid. And he played GREAT this season. I don't want anyone getting the idea that I don't think that. [b]But expectations really shouldn't have anything to do with it. All that should matter is how effective of a season one had.[/b] He protected him self better, I must admit.

RG3 beat him in almost every single stat and had the 28th total defense, compared to Seattles #4. Wilsons had a better win/loss record but that GB hail mary TD shouldn't of happened lol. I just don't think it's debatable.

I agree but it could shape public opinion. RG3 had the better season

[ravens__]

Adrian Peterson is the MVP. The voters got it right.

No surprises overall.

[Gordo52]

AP, MVP.

Nice. Very happy for him.

I was 7 for 7 ayyyyeee lol

[Gordo52]

Dude was hilarious!

[MissK528]

Very nice speech by Bruce Arians.

[MissK528]

Never Say Never Award time, which we know thanks to them spoiling half the show that Torrey won.

Also, WHY is Cam Newton wearing what he's wearing?!

[ratedr]

Fans voted Jacoby's kickoff return vs. Dallas as the #4 play of the year.

[MissK528]

Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice Up The Middle is still in the running though, I believe...

[T3hRaven]

I can't believe Peterson beat Peyton. I thought for sure Manning would get it.

It better be. I can't think of any other play this season that was better

[flaccopoe]

Shout out to Peyton for winning Comeback Player of the Year!

[MissK528]

Well, at least they recognized Art's death in their in memoriam reel.

Yeah NFL, Art did exist. Imagine that.

...Stupid Hall of Fame voters...

[flaccopoe]

I like that Sammy Football's getting honored!

[MissK528]

...That little girl would be SUCH a better commissioner than Goodell.

Someone, make it happen!!!

[MissK528]

Okay guys, we're to the number one play of the year, still in the running...

[Gordo52]

She was adorable. She would probably de-sissy-fy the powderpuff league Goodell has turnt it into.

[flaccopoe]

Glad Wilson got PMRPOTY!

The ironies abound!

[MissK528]

Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice Up The Middle is the Play Of The Year!!! Presented by Josh Charles too, for that matter...

Man did they not use Aaron Rodgers/Brett Favre right. I was waiting for that to be a good segment but man they blew it. The jokes they could have used, and when they were announcing the winner, Favre should have went.. Me and started going into a speech and then Rodgers cut him off and told him he didn't win lol.

[ratedr]

4th and 29 was named the play of the year.

[Gordo52]

Yeaaahh boy!

[ravens__]

Wish I had stayed off Twitter, this whole thing was ruined for me. Oh well.
