Are Super Bowl QBs Getting Worse?
Joe Flacco just won the Super Bowl despite being just 17th in QB DYAR during the season. Eli Manning won it back in 2007 even though he was 40th in DYAR. What happened to only the best quarterbacks winning Super Bowls? Neil Paine points out that this really isn't any different from the rest of Super Bowl history.

MMQB: On the Super Bowl
In this week's Monday Morning Quarterback, Peter King writes about the only NFL game played on Sunday, plus thoughts on the Hall of Fame voting and the rest of the Super Bowl week experience. My favorite part was Jimmy Smith talking about the 49ers' final offensive play: "It was pretty obvious by then the receiver was being physical, and I was being physical, and the refs were letting that stuff go." Yep.

Adrian Peterson Chosen 2012 MVP
It looks like voters split the baby by giving Peyton Manning the Comeback Player of the Year award while handing the MVP to Adrian Peterson. Other winners included Bruce Arians as Coach of the Year, J.J. Watt as almost-unanimous Defensive Player of the Year (49 of 50 votes, the other going to Von Miller), and Robert Griffin and Luke Kuechly as Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Of course, these awards aren't really as important as the FO Reader Awards, which we'll announce in a week or so.

2013 Hall Of Fame Class Announced

Jerome Bettis, Charles Haley, Andre Reed, Michael Strahan, and Aeneas Williams all made the cutdown from 15 to 10, but were not among the five modern-era finalists. Tim Brown, Eddie DeBartolo, Kevin Greene, Art Modell, and Will Shields were the five modern-era finalists eliminated in the first cutdown.
Congratulations to the new enshrinees.

The Indestructibility of Phil Simms
This article about Phil Simms has a lot of interesting anecdotes, both from his time with the Giants and his time as a broadcaster. His hatred of stats definitely seems to be tied to his own strengths and weaknesses as a player. Hopefully, Simms will read this article about himself, see the quotes from me, and finally learn how to pronounce "Asante Samuel."

Rivers McCown on 1560's "Afternoon Delight"
Much like Aaron, I got invited to talk about the Super Bowl and the local football team today. If you don't want to hear exasperated sighs at the idea of Kevin Walter being a No. 2 receiver next season, don't listen to this. If you do want to hear a haiku that sums up the current state of the Texans, then feel free to tune in.

Minor weaknesses dot these teams. Except for Arizona, which needs to bring in more help to really run Bruce Arians' offense.
