Eli MVP What a joke!

I honestly don't know how you can vote Eli as the MVP, granted he did put together some good drives including the winner, but the Giants defense especially the line should have got the vote, or if not the line either Strahan or Tuck or someone else. Had it not been for the Giants pass rush last night, Brady would have sat back and just dismantled them.

Agreed,

The MVP should have come from the side of the ball that won the game for them...DEFENSE!

And had it not been for Eli's drive at the end, the Giants would have lost. Remember, their defense gave up a touchdown to Brady w/ less than 3 minutes on the clock??? Would they have been the MVP's if the Giants had lost? I'll agree that they had a great performance, but without the last minute touchdown from Eli, their performance would have still ended in a loss.

Snowman,

They held the Pats to their lowest total of the year. Brady had 50 TD throws this year. Come on man, I know Eli stepped up at the end but how many drives did he tank that should have resulted in points, maybe 4 drives that could have tacked on at least 3 with a FG. Defense won this game, hands down!

NFL marketing made the selection. How many times do you think we'll see Eli and Peyton in commercials until the next season starts.

Yep, it was a marketing decision. I think it should've been Strahan, but he wouldn't make commercials like Eli and Peyton will.

Umenyiora, Tuck, or Strahan would all have been deserving. If Eli completes that touch pass he overthrew Burress on, he would have won it clear as day. Still, the botched handoff and the interception weren't his fault. He deserves it for how his entire postseason went.

I really liked that Tuck kid. He was an animal. He got a ton of his "ugly" all over Brady's pretty boy face!

You guys are missing the importance of the two Tyree catches for 1st downs on the fina drive. If he doesn't get them game over. tyree real MVP

I agree that the Defense was the MVP of the game. But if I had to pick one player...of course it would be Eli. To march down the field and will his team to win with 2:30 left and to escape how he did and then throw the ball and give Tyree a chance to catch it .....is IMO what makes an MVP and champion.

MVP is nice, but not as nice as being SUPER BOWL champions!

Tyree did come up big a few times but he's not a big name player that many people know of so he didn't get votes. You do have to give Eli credit for putting together that last drive but still the defense won it for them.

Not nuf,

I am a huge Tyree fan and I have already said that his catch on his helmet was the greatest catch I have seen in my 48 years but the defense held Superman down for 60 minutes. They had their lowest point total of the whole year. If you are not going to single out one individual (although that is what MVP means) I would give it to the entire defense. Somebody from the defense should be driving that Escalade, not Eli.

Asanti Samuel should've been MVP. He had the game ending interception in his hands and dropped it! Eli didn't play well enough to deserve the MVP, IMHO. It should have gone to one of the "D" lineman.............

The D was great, but I don't have a problem with Eli getting the MVP. He did lead his team to two fourth quarter touchdowns against another pretty good defense.

It was a no-brainer and and easy pick for Eli to win the MVP.

I hate the Manning's but they both derserved to be MVP of the Super Bowl no doubt!

That escape from the sack in the 4th was enough for the MVP in itself let alone his solid play throughout the game.

I thought Eli was an obvious choice too. The defense as a unit was outstanding, but I didn't really think one player stood out too much on that unit, they all played so well. Eli lead TWO come from behind and take the lead drives in the fourth quarter, he deserved the MVP. Reality is QB's always get a lot of the credit and a lot of the blame, he's taken more than his share of blame already, and he deserves the rewards too.

He's plain lucky he didnt get picked off on that last drive. Twice the defenders touched the ball in the air on two incomplete passes, that was after he lost the ball when he hit the ground scrabling on another play. I thought for sure he was going to blow it. But either way good job Eli, you saved me $100.

I do not disagree with Eli as MVP. He engineered that winning drive at the end of the game, so he was as deserving as any one person. Anytime you are talking about a TEAM game like football, you can always talk about other players who contributed to the win. For that reason I have never liked personal awards for a team game much. The Lombardi trophy means more I think anyway.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
