Back from retreat.

I got back last night from a weekend retreat at Camp Maria (in southern MD). It was really fun, but I'm REALLY tired because I shared a room with the two loudest people on earth. That's enough for now. YAWN

NFL Midseason Awards

I'm REALLY bored so I'll give out some awards.

MVP - QB Peyton Manning (Colts) - 221/313 (70.6%) 2545 yrds 16TD 5 INT 105.2 rating

He and Drew Brees have similar numbers and their teams are both 8-0, but Peyton Manning wins because his team

runs the ball very poorly, so he had been

carrying Indianapolis on his shoulders. He has also turned the ball over way less than Brees.

Runner Ups - QB Drew Brees (Saints)

RB Adrian Peterson (Vikings)

Off Player of the Year - RB Chris Johnson (Titans) - 1121 total yrds 7 TD

Not in the MVP race because his team is 2-6, but he leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage and has an insane 6.7 yards per carry.

Runner Ups - RB Adrian Peterson (Vikings)

RB Ray Rice (Ravens)

Def Player of the Year - S Darren Sharper (Saints) - 35 tkls 7 Int 3 def TD

Sorry to Jared Allen, Dwight Freeney, and Elvis Dumervil but I just can't get over the 7 interceptions and 3 defensive TD's. It's been awhile since someone has taken three interceptions to the house. Also, Sharper is on pace for an NFL record 14 interceptions and has led a once pathetic Saints defense to be one of the NFL's best.

Runner Ups - DE Jared Allen (Vikings)

DE Dwight Freeney (Colts)

Rookie of the Year - WR Percy Harvin (Vikings) - 408 scrimmage yards, 3 REC TD, 2 KR TD

He's been a huge playmaker for the Vikings, with four big kick returns (2 of them are TD's) and, combined with speedy Bernard Berrian, he has helped stretch the field for other Viking stars, like Adrian Peterson.

Runner Ups - CB Jarius Byrd (Bills)

LB Aaron Curry (Seahawks)

Offensive ROY - WR Hakeem Nicks (Giants) - 416 scrimmage yards, 4 Rec TD

The big question for the Giants this year, Which receiver is going to step up and become Eli Manning's go to receiver? Well, that has been Steve Smith, but Nicks has also shined, becoming a big play machine in his first season. His numbers are even better knowing that he missed two games with an ankle injury, and backed up Mario Manningham for most of the year.

Runner Ups - RB LeSean McCoy (Eagles)

WR Jeremy Maclin (Eagles)

Defensive ROY - CB Jarius Byrd (Bills) - 32 tkls 7 Int

A rookie is tied with Darren Sharper for the NFL lead in interceptions. Also, Byrd was not the first Bills defender chosen in the draft. He was a second round pick, and WOW he has been great!

Runner Ups - LB Aaron Curry (Seahawks)

DE Brian Orakpo (Redskins)

Comeback Player of the Year - Chad Ocho Cinco (Bengals) - 44 rec 639 yrds, 5TD

Following up a miserable year last year, Ocho's now working hard and its paying dividends. He's also helped the surprising Bengals to a 6-2 record. Brady didn't win this award because its not hard to put up huge numbers with superstar receivers.

Runner Ups - QB Tom Brady (Patriots)

QB Matt Hasselbeck (Seahawks)

Breakout Player of the Year - WR Miles Austin (Cowboys) - 27 rec 612 yrds 7TD

He had less than 400 yrds in his first three years... He has 500 in the last four games. He made headlines with a HUGE breakout performance in the Cowboys OT victoy against the Cheifs, with 10 rec, 250 yrds and 2 TDs. Instead of disappearing again, he followed it up with 171 more yards and 2 TDs. Expect more in the final half of the season.

Runner Ups - RB Cedric Benson (Bengals)

TE Vernon Davis (49ers)

Defending a National Title

UNC began the defense of their national title last night, with a relatively easy victory over the Isiah Thomas coached FIU Panthers, taking a 16 point lead at the half and cruising to an 88-72 victory. The big number was rebounding, they out rebounded the undersized Panthers 42-21, led by All-American preseason pick Ed Davis's 11 rebounds. Deon Thompson led in scoring with 20 points and 10 rebounds, Davis had 13, with Ty Zeller and Marcus Ginyard scoring 12 each. Marvin Roberts led FIU with 18 points.

HAHA!! AND MY FRIENDS CALL ME STUPID!!

One of my friends is always talking trash to me over the email, but whenever I see him (lets just call him JOB) face to face, he never dares to say anything. I mean, what a coward. He won't talk trash to my face because I'm only like five inches taller and thirty or forty pounds heavier than him. I'm always threatening to get rid of him, though I never quite feel like ending his pathetic life. But when he insulted my blog today, he secured his death. So watch out JOB, I'm COMING!!!! oh ya, and how can you insult my blog when its just as good as your website which is at http://legos.pobspace.com/

FYI - This is only a joke (the killing part is at least... but maybe I'll just seriously hurt him :)

I mean... seriously, who would mess with someone like this?!

HAHA!! AND MY FRIENDS CALL ME STUPID!!
