Did SA and Kendrick Perkins fall out? I just realized I haven't seen him on the show since last season

I find Shae to actually be quite annoying at times. I like some of the points she makes, but she chimes in too much trying to sound incredibly smart too often.

They covering DK's situation with the fan allegedly calling him nikka. Shae goes to Orlovsky first instead of either of the 2 black dudes(Cam Newton or the other big black dude that isnt Swagu) :dead:

He is having a historic season and will likely set the NFL record for single season sacks. Unfortunately he plays for a bad team. As good as he is he alone can't change the fortune of that team.

MVP is a faulty award to begin with because the quarterback of the best NFL team has an inherent advantage to winning the award simply because the quarterback's performance is probably the most impactful of any other player all things considered. Really only a quarterback or a running back can have the level of individual performance to single handedly change the trajectory of a team and maybe a wide receiver distant 3rd. Everyone else is devoured by the team as a whole.
