Indianapolis Colts win the SuperBowl.... the MVP was all wrong.... Bears forfeit


So the Indy Colts won the SuperBowl, and yes Peyton Manning figuratively gave the middle finger to all the critics who said he can't win a big game. But so what? He was not the MVP of that game, by any stretch. Yet, they gave it to him.

What I like about hockey is no matter who you are, if you played great - you win the playoff MVP. Ron Hextall stripped it from Wayne Gretzky in 87, Mike Vernon stripped it from Steve Yzerman in 96 and so on. Not to say hockey is perfect - because Cam Ward taking it home over Chris Pronger last year is a story for another day.

Manning went 25 for 38, which is a good amount for a regular season game MVP. 1Td, and 1 interception. He was better than Rex Grossman, for sure.... but who isn't? Rex Grossman could make Jason Maas look like Joe Montana. No, the MVP of the game was - at least to anyone watching the entire game... Joseph Addai.

Addai was the Colts tonight. He won them the Superbowl, because any QB could have handed him the ball. Except Rex, but again.....

No sense arguing over the specifics of MVP. All that matters is that the Colts won, and the Bears lost. No worries Chicago, wait another 20 years and they might get back to the big game. At least they're not the Cubs right?

All the Bears fans with their broken hearts. It's a most pleasant thing to think about.
