He made a strong argument for a horrible vote.
Using his argument you could vote for 15-20 other players in addition to Herbert but none superior to Stafford or Maye.
I’ll retract my statement comparing it to Peter King’s ‘97 Carnell Lake vote. King was showing off a false sense of superiority.

Is the Justin Herbert MVP vote defensible? Sam Monson made his case.

Sam Monson reveals himself as lone Justin Herbert MVP vote
The biggest surprise in the NFL MVP race wasn't how close it was between Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye, but that Justin Herbert got a vote.

Reminds me of 1997 when Peter King had to show everyone how “smart” he was so he voted for Carnell Lake as the MVP when two players were clearly the only deserving candidates.
Brett Favre and Barry Sanders ended up tying for the MVP Award.
Dick move by King.

The #Bucks are a winner because they didn’t trade the greatest player in their team’s history and doom themselves to decades of probable mediocrity or worse.
Yup.
Reminder it took them nearly 50 years to win another title after trading Kareem.

Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfst: "We prefer somebody that's a strong, powerful person w/extremely good vision that can shoot a rifle very well to a person that's extremely weak, non-muscular, can't shoot a rifle, has no idea where the hell he is.

Very interesting numbers.
Who does he tend to target the most vs. zone?
On paper matchup this week all point to Henry and Diggs feasting with a smattering of Rhamondre.

Looked at Drake Maye's numbers vs. zone coverage (Seahawks plays zone defense at the NFL's 5th highest rate) and woooooo boy.
-He's 3rd in adjusted yards per attempt vs. zone
-1st in completion rate over expected vs. zone
-3rd in QB passer rating vs. zone (trailing Allen, Stafford)

I was ahead after scoring the first touchdown but then the other team scored twice and suddenly I was losing.
The game clearly was rigged.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

I keep looking at Andres Borregales O 1.5 FGs Prop Bet and thinking that sure looks like a slam dunk.
He had 3 FG attempts in the AFC Championship Game and almost certainly makes at least 2 of them were it not for the horrible weather conditions.

The Seahawks have allowed just 12 total passing TDs in 12 games since their Week 8 bye (including playoffs)
8 - Matthew Stafford (3 games)
2 - Jacoby Brissett
1 - Philip Rivers
1 - Cam Ward
Seattle has forced 21 turnovers with a +173 point differential during this stretch

I’m dedicated to taking a RB in Round 1 of every fantasy football draft I’m in next season but if I have to change things up, here we go for the cool factor alone.

Watching what Mac Jones did with Brian Thomas Jr. in 2024 and … checks notes … Kendrick Bourne? this season and watching how little Aaron Rodgers really did with D.K. freaking Metcalf and it’s an absolute joke Rodgers could be starting in 2026 and Jones might not be.

Speaking of @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, if people haven’t seen “The Life of Chuck” watch this film NOW.
It is extraordinary.
Mark is great. Tom Hiddleston is (as always) fantastic. The entire cast is superb. The film defies proper description. It really must be watched to be appreciated.
