I've heard a lot of things recently about the NFL defensive MVP.

What kind of message are you sending to kids by giving a steroid user the MVP?

Ahh yes.. but you aren't sending the wrong message when a guy like Shawne Merriman wins the award. You might even be sending the right one.

Drew Brees has a fair shot at being this year's league MVP.  How good would the Chargers be without L.T.?  Pretty good.  How good would the Saints be without Drew Brees?  Horrible.

Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Both teams would be bad.  Very bad.

Note: Not a direct response to this article, but it definitely does pertain to it.

Dear A-Rod,

I am sure you are already well aware, but the frustration level of your performance on the baseball diamond has reached an all time high. I am not here to remind you yet again of your 0-10 performance the last two games in Anaheim, which includes seven strikeouts. Instead, please think of this as a simple form of motivation.
