I was thinking who cares, but I saw Peterson when he received the award. It clearly meant a lot to him.

Good point but it is a individual award that I could care less about.

Guess what he will look like when he raises (he will as a Vikes) a SB trophy.

I care in the sense that it's nice to see the national media get a reason to write some more positive stories about the team. The whole buzz around AD does create some very welcomed attention.

Positive press is a good thing of late, however, can you imagine the press we will get when he raises (he will as a Vike) a SB trophy.

Seriously though, I think he deserves all the credit and acolades he can garner but it just doesn't mean anything as it will be shortly forgotten.

I'm all about the team and not these individual awards.
Gimme something the team won (I.e. Lombardy Trophy) and I will be happy.

Well I'm not going to argue with you. In fact you could say that I actually agreed with you all along.

I never argue with you my friend.
I just like saying (he will as a Vike) today.
Makes me all warm and fuzzy after the SB.
;D

I understand that, but in a season where the Vikings didn't win any "team awards", it is nice to see some players recognised for their individual accomplishments and contributions to the team. I'm not as happy as I will be when the Vikings are hoisting the Lombardi trophey, but I'm still happy about it.
