    I like Manning and Brees, but the love for Manning is getting a little out of control.

    AP MVP:

    Colts quarterback easily beats Saints’ Brees in voting

    Peyton Manning became the first player to win The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player honors four times. The Indianapolis Colts’ sensational quarterback romped to the award Saturday in balloting by 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. He received 39½ votes to 7½ for Drew Brees of New Orleans

    Wow, 10 points higher on passer rating. I accepted Manning as the winner but now I think Drew should have gotten it. That's a big number to overcome.

    i can't really disagree with him, he had a monster year.


    Manning got it because of his name. Brees had a better season.
