It’s official:

Peyton Manning is the MVP of the National Football League for a record fourth time.

I can’t say that any of us are surprised by the results.  I’m not as excited as I was last year for reasons I’ve already gotten into.  Drew Brees finished second, Rivers a distant third and Favre got one vote.  It wouldn’t have mattered at all in this particular contest, but I would still like to see the AP go to a weighted vote system where writers get to vote for their top five players.

Still this year was all about Manning.  Week 14 was pivotal for a lot of people as Manning hit Wayne on a bomb to beat Jacksonville and Brees failed to rally the Saints past Dallas just two nights later.
