I can't seem to find who else received first place votes besides Brady and Vick. Does anyone know who else received the first place votes?

http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nfl/news/story?id=6081212 Hopefully the Patriots can have great success in the regular season next year and step it the [expletive] up in the playoffs. He definitely deserved this award, but I'm surprised him and Vick only combined for 32/50 first place votes.

OliverP is definitely a good selection for most under-rated member.

Not at all, really. He didn't just fall straight to the ground from the part of the cliff he was on. He tumbled down the mountain, which is a major difference.

We're getting killed in MA this year. We always get killed by Nor'Easters, but we've been getting smoked this year.

No, you have no idea, and will blindly defend him. I don't hate Kobe Bryant at all, as I'm the one that you, and others included would try and discredit for saying he was, or will be better then M.J. Take off your glasses for once, and realize he didn't display one ounce of hustle on the defensive end of the floor today. He walked back on defense during the fourth quarter which was quite pathetic.

People in the U.S. care about what's happening, but many of us understand that there's a large amount of hypocritical morons in the U.S. They'll want us to help out Egypt, then [expletive] that we're playing world police. A bunch of hypocritical clueless idiots we have.

You're MUCH worse with Kobe than he is with any Miami Heat player. It's quite pathetic actually.

Maybe Kobe should sit as well if he's going to give even less than a half-[expletive] defensive effort and take terrible shots.

Kobe is so damn lazy a lot of the time. He never hustles back on defense, and just walks back. For a player of his caliber, his effort is flat out pathetic too often.

Kevin Durant is a straight chucker, and that's all.

I'm saying why shouldn't LeBron's impact of the Cavaliers be taken into consideration as well. I think that should be strongly considered as well.

I know he probably won't win it this season, but I think he has as strong of a case as any player in the NBA, if not stronger. I know every person has a different view on how they will vote for the award, but if you're going to vote based on the most "valuable" player, how can LeBron not win it? The Cavaliers went 61-21 last season, and now that he's gone they are a dismal 8-38! No player in the league had as much value to his team as LeBron had to Cleveland. I really think when voting this should be taken into consideration. The effect that he had on not just the Heat this season, but the Cavaliers as well, should show he is clearly the most valuable player. To a lesser extent, it's somewhat like Tom Brady showing his true value in 2008-2009, when he wasn't even playing, and the Patriots didn't even make the playoffs.

You keep making broad statements like that. What exactly has he done to help this league like crazy as you say.

I saw Pronger mentioned in the previous post, and I will always remember that interview of his. Also, I loved watching the Fly.....eh...Blackhawks raise the Cup. .

Damn, I love Chris Pronger. The guy is hilarious, from his post-game interviews to stealing pucks. . Here are two of my favorite moments involving him. We have a Marco Sturm sighting in the second video, and I'm pretty sure he got injured a game or two later.

He's always been an [expletive]-hole. I never liked him before he was on the Celtics, and I didn't really like him his first few seasons in Boston, but I am starting to warm up to him. .

What does Nate Robinson having "Napoleon" complex have to do with KG? What does Perkins being "ugly" in your opinion have to do with anything? Absolutely NOTHING except that they are on the Celtics, but you're welcome to try again.

Besides being arguably the best post defender in the NBA and more valuable than anyone on the Knicks outside of Amare, but other than that, sure?

And, boom goes the dynamite! .

Absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. This is probably a crazy liberal and their conspiracy theories and absurd lawsuits. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/01/exclusive-documents-woman-blames-p-diddy-world-trade-center-collapse-demands-100

I'm surprised more people haven't posted in this thread.

Brian Burke has done a great job building a team.......except that team is located in Boston. Once Cladue Julien lets Seguin get some more ice time and lets him fly around, the kid is going to be special. He makes some rookie mistakes, but his speed has really impressed me. I'll be looking forward to Adam Larson this year as well, one of the most highly touted defensive prospects in years.

There's no way Shawne Williams should be suspended longer out of the two of them.
