the NFL MVP voteAfter reading Michael Silver's piece in Sports Illustrated (subscription req.) this week i'm on board the Manning for MVP band wagon. My favorite part from the piece: Likewise, Manning says outsiders can be fooled by his own affable exterior. "If people think I'm a laid-back guy," he says, "that's their mistake." Yes, he makes an effort to be friendly, chatting up rookie free agents at minicamps and talking with well-wishers at airports and restaurants. But on the field Manning can be caustic and exacting. Tight end Marcus Pollard remembers questioning Manning on a play call during practice early in the quarterback's career. "Hey," Manning snapped, "if I tell you it's Easter, you'd better hunt for eggs." |
