Matt should be MVP. Who cares that Deangelo had a pick and a fumble TD and 6 tackles… the 6 tackles were because his man kept catching the ball! and his man also scored 2 times. 6 points – 12 points = -6 points. Deangelo actually set the team back by 6 points. There were too many interceptions to single out him. All DB’s played well. However, Matt was really the only QB that stood out above the others. I’m glad that the FOX guy told Matt that he felt Matt was the real MVP.

Terry Bradshaw on building Steelers dynasty…
“Chuck Noll knew what kinda players he wanted. He started with Mean Joe Green, he focused on the 4,5,6th rds. and he knew where to go…” Interpret that to mean the Steelers built their dynasty with HBCU Classics!
Mean Joe Green (North Texas)
Joe Gilliam (Tenn St)
LC Greenwood (Ark-PB)
Mel Blount (Southern)
Donnie Shell (SC State)
John Stallworth (Alabama AM)
Frank Lewis (Grambling)
Ernie Holmes (Tx Southern)
John Fuqua (Morgan State)
Glen Edwards (FAMU)
Mike Collier (Morgan State)

“Ha ha ha ha!!! “Snarky Central over on the Falcons Blog” are having a stroke right now!!! DeAngelo Hall!!”
You’re (Snarky Central Flacons Bloggers) a hoot! If you weren’t so sad (since 1-9-6-6), folks could laugh at you 24 hours a day!!!
Enjoy the Hall bashing, he just spent a week in Hawaii and got a bonus!

MeAngelo does not play for the Falcons and did nothing for the Falcons to justify an article under the Falcons title line . He caused more problems here because of his huge EGO and glad he left.

To all of the DHall haters. Don’t be mad look at his game stats. 7 tackles (2nd highest), 1 int, 1 fum rec-td. Also it was against PRO BOWLERS! All db’s get burn, but they must have short memory. ATL sent 8/9 players there along w/coaching staff, had a better chance to receive this AWFUL award. I am a redskins fans and I know he has matured. Please ATL STOP living in the past. Everyone saw the way Rodgers destroyed your secondary!

Stop kidding yourselves… I would’ve voted for Ryan too, but I have no problem with DHall getting some success. Especially in a meaningless game. In any case, his physical skills were certainly never the problem. He’s always been capable of making plays and having big game. But he’s a head case. Not that bright, and worries about the wrong things.

“He had 4 ints in one game and why do you think Jay Cutler was throwing it towards him that many times? He knew what we all know now and that’s MeHall is overrated.”

My reply to your comment is in Ledbetter’s blog filter… Maybe he’ll forward it to you since there is no profanity or racial language in it… Maybe he’ll get around to it when he finally gets around to fixing that picture and the photo caption leading his blog…

Brent Grimes not only had a better game than D Hall, he had a better game than Matt Ryan also. And no i don’t hate Matt Ryan, but he is no elite qb, nor is he the best of the falcons players.

I guess if you keep throwing the ball at him, he’s bound to grab few. Where was he in the second half when the AFC was scoring on the NFC at will. Did you also notice after Grimes got his interception, the QB’s threw to the other side. Now that’s even more telling.

There was no NFL football played this past weakend.. I if Me’Angelo was MVP that’s proof..
BTW… The “pro – Bowl” is so watered down because no players from the semi finals play & many many that are 6 – 8th “east” at their position in their respective league make the “pro bowl” it’s a total joke.. Then at contract time they say, “I was on the Pro Bowl team”… LOL Only by the process of elimination do MANY make the all expensed paid trip to Hawaii…

D. Hall never looked like nothing but the MVP water boy when he was in ATL and had the worst attitude (and Crumpler, see Mike StinK also). Thats why he was shipped out with all his DOGS!

ME Hall winning the MVP explains that game perfectly. I can’t remember the last time I watched it. It should just go away.
