Can we redo the NFL MVP vote?
I know I should have sent this in on, say ... Monday, but it's taken me this long to digest what Steve Smith did to the Chicago Bears defense (which was allegedly the best D since Chicago's 46 D in '85 by the way).
I was watching this game with a few friends, all Panthers fans, and by the end we were joking about the conversations in the Bears' huddle.
"Umm .. who's got 89?"
Seriously, how can a defense key in on one guy and yet time after time that guy gets open (not just open WIIIIIIIIDE open)?
Here's my answer. Because that guy is the best player in the NFL. Hands down. The very definition of an MVP. If Carolina doesn't have Steve Smith in its lineup, it's an 8-8 team.
How, you ask, did the actual NFL MVP, Shaun Alexander, fare? He ran for about nine yards, left the game with a concussion and his team still won.
I demand a revote. NOW.

If its any consolation, Jimmy Johnson is right there with you-- new spiked hair style and all.

I noticed that the grey peacock look was not on for this Sunday. I wonder if the producers told Jimmy to scrap it or if he just wasn't able to find that right mix of mousse and wind tunnel before the broadcast.
