Obligatory Football Post

153 words.

Two quick, off-topic football notes in honor of the Super Bowl: 1) The Super Bowl MVP voting process is hopelessly broken. The real MVP was Kelvin Hayden, who intercepted an errant pass from Grossman and ran it back for the final Colts touchdown, putting the game away. Before that interception, the Bears were (amazingly) still one big, lucky play away from winning the game, and even had some momentum following their last field goal. 2) The NFL Hall of Fame is also hopelessly broken… that former Redskin Art Monk, one of the most dependable possession receivers in history, hasn’t been elected for seven straight years simply because he wasn’t flashy enough, is an absolute travesty. I guess Hall of Fame is an accurate name for the institution, though, because it obviously isn’t a Hall of Skill.
