His role in Green Bay’s performance — second in the league in overall defense, first in interceptions (30), takeaways (40) and turnover margin (plus-24).”</p> <p>Following the Packers all year long certainly made it obvious that he should win even though the local Revis came on strong towards the end of the season shutting down key #1 receivers but this is an award for the entire year, not just the first half or the second half of the season.</p> <p>One thing to notice from today’s announcement was Rex Ryan’s reply and standing up for his player. He said, ”a number that I think is interesting is eight. No, that’s not the amount of touchdown passes Green Bay gave up against Arizona. That’s the amount of touchdown passes we gave up all season. The biggest reason for that is Darrelle Revis.”</p> <p>The Jets’ coach has a big mouth but he always backs his team and doesn’t hold anything back. You can respect that in a coach but no way was he winning the award this year. This year it belonged to Charles Woodson.</p> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593"></div><script type="text/javascript">AKPC_IDS += "1593,";</script><p class="akpc_pop">Popularity: 6%</p><div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593&title=No Dispute About Defensive POY&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com');" href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593&title=No Dispute About Defensive POY&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.com'); return call_google_buzz("http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593&title=No Dispute About Defensive POY&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com')" rel=""><img border="0" src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-buzz/icon/5.png" style="opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100)" onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.8;this.filters.alpha.opacity=80" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100"/> </a></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container"><ul class="addtoany_list"><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F1593&linkname=No%20Dispute%20About%20Defensive%20POY" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/reddit.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Reddit"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F1593&linkname=No%20Dispute%20About%20Defensive%20POY" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/twitter.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Twitter"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F1593&linkname=No%20Dispute%20About%20Defensive%20POY" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/facebook.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Facebook"/></a></li><li><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F1593&linkname=No%20Dispute%20About%20Defensive%20POY" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a></li></ul></div><span style="clear:both;display:none;"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/img/wpsf-img.php" width="0" height="0" alt="" style="border-style:none;width:0px;height:0px;display:none;" /></span> </div> <div class="post-info"> <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593#respond" title="Comment on No Dispute About Defensive POY"><span class='IDCommentsReplace' style='display:none'>1593</span>Comments (0)<span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoPermalink1593'>http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTitle1593'>No+Dispute+About+Defensive+POY</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTime1593'>2010-01-12+21%3A33%3A16</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoAuthor1593'>ABG</span></a> // <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1593#respond">Add Comment</a> </div> </div>   <div class="post" id="post-1240"> <div class="post-title"> <div class="post-date"> <span>01</span> Sep </div> <h2><a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1240" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to That’s Not Cool, Brett Favre">That’s Not Cool, Brett Favre</a></h2> Author: ABG // Category: <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/category/sports" title="View all posts in Sports" rel="category tag">Sports</a> </div> <div class="post-entry"> <p>If you didn’t see it for yourself on ESPN, take a look at this filthy little crackback block that Brett Favre threw at the knees of Texans safety Eugene Wilson in the third quarter of the Monday Night preseason game.</p> <p>A great job by the ESPN guys on calling the play dirty right away and I probably wouldn’t expect anything more to happen since a penalty was called on the play.

USA</strong> (<a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/matchdaylive.blogspot.com/');" href="http://matchdaylive.blogspot.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/matchdaylive.blogspot.com');">link</a>). Even though the updates at times are few and far between, the posts that are up there are nothing short of quality pieces. Take a look at the latest one from this morning titled “<a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/matchdaylive.blogspot.com/2009/08/nbcs-business-decision-is-national.html');" href="http://matchdaylive.blogspot.com/2009/08/nbcs-business-decision-is-national.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/matchdaylive.blogspot.com');"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NBC’s “Business Decision” a National Embarrassment</strong></span></a>”</p> <p>The post is regarding the upcoming USA vs. Mexico match that is slated for 4 PM EST later today. If you’re on a basic cable package or if you happen to be on campus anywhere in the country, it’s very unlikely that you’ll be able to see this match simply because it’s not being shown my any major network. ESPN can’t show it because NBC has the exclusive rights to that match since the Mexican Federation decides who gets the rights to matches being played at Azteca. NBC, on the other hand, decides to air this “Showdown at the Azteca” on an obscure channel called mun2 (moon-dos – pronunciation courtesy of Matchday LIVE!)</p> <blockquote><p><em>A quick Google search will tell you that the soccer-crazed masses are concerned. ESPN doesn’t show a match listing in their schedule for US-Mexico. Neither does Fox Soccer Channel. Fear not, says NBC, it’s on mun2. That’s “moon-dos.” I’m sure you’ve all heard of it. It’s that <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">hip, trendy Latino network</span> obscure bicultural channel no one has ever heard of that is so far up the digital cable dial your brain will be addled into confusing the two teams’ kits when you finally get to the match. What some are passing off as a business decision, however, is clearly nothing short of one of the biggest jokes in sports media coverage of the decade, right up there with the 8PM World Series start, Roger Goodell wanting to expand the NFL to 18 games, and NBC’s (do you sense a theme here) creating a new network for Olympic coverage just weeks before the event that no one received on time.</em></p> <p><em>Please, NBC, I understand the business decision involved, but this time you’ve overstepped the line. I’m sure the millions of fans watching the match without HD having finally reached channel 8,794,316.2 will really be pleased to be transported back into the mid-90s. At least back then it clear what the networks thought about the game, and it continued to push on and thrive nonetheless. Here’s hoping that NBC’s stupidity only provides a renewed opportunity for football to do the same thing now in 2009.</em></p></blockquote> <p>That’s only an excerpt of the pretty good piece by my friend Mike and be sure to head over to Matchday LIVE! USA to read the rest of the article and his other updates as well.</p> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1208"></div> <script> </script> <script
