Peyton Manning named comeback player of the year.

Which means that Adrian Peterson is expected to be named MVP.

Also: Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was the NFL's offensive rookie of the year and Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly won the defensive rookie of the year honor. Colts interim coach Bruce Arians was named NFL coach of the year.

Trumad can now return to his hole like the groundhog did today.

I'd have never guessed.

I'm sorry the loveable losers from Cleveland lost their team to Baltimore, but using Serial Killer references is kind of sad.

BTW, according to my wife, I do push a lot out of my ass!!

I just respect(ed) their tradition from the olden days. The whole Colts to Indy and Browns to Balty thing left a bad taste in my mouth, and a lot of sympathy for the fans of the two original teams in my heart. So I dislike the Ravens and the Colts. The fact that they have been the rivals of the Pats for the last decade is just grist for the mill.

in Seattle as the former Sacramento Kings.



Damn it. I just figured it out!! Belicheat was the head coach of the Brownies!

"From 1991 until 1995, Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. During his tenure in Cleveland he compiled a 36–44 record, leading the team to the playoffs in 1994, his only winning year with the team. Coincidentally, his one playoff victory during his Browns tenure was achieved against the Patriots in the wild card round during this postseason. In Belichick's last season in Cleveland the Browns finished 5–11, despite starting 3-1. In November of that year in the middle of the ongoing football season, Browns owner Art Modell had announced he would move his franchise to Baltimore after the season. After first being given assurances that he would coach the transplanted Baltimore Ravens, Belichick instead was fired on February 15, 1996—one week after the shift was officially announced.[8]"

So Belicheat really did kill football in Cleveland!! So he goes to Boston and KKKraft who screwed Hartford.

Carrying sports grudges is always dangerous business. You never know when that guy is going to become your guy.

Some dickwad started ripping it off at a parking area in Yosemite, but was too weak to finish the job. A helpful local finished the job a couple months later here on Main Street. I could find a pic to prove it, I think, but I'm too lazy to search through all my photos for it.

In any case, I have another waiting in reserve, and thought I'd redo the stickers this Spring, when the weather breaks. I need a new Red Sox one, as well, the Patriots are flapping, and the Celtics done turned blue.

I change my avatar with the seasons, but I keep my loyalty in my native geographic sports range. I have moved around a hell of a lot over the years and developed a lot of secondary sympathies, though.
