   Peyton Manning was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the third time. Good choice?

Poor Eli Manning couldn’t even get his MVP card renewed at Food Lion.

It means we’ll be stuck yet with another year of Peyton Manning-endorsed products.

Two things you can count on every NFL season: One, Manning will be in the running for MVP; two, Brett Favre will talk about retirement, only to surprisingly continue throwing interceptions.

I’m sure it broke Peter King’s heart when he cast a vote to pull Manning into a tie with his beloved Brett Farve for most MVP awards.

It’s nice for his career numbers, but bad for his season; the Colts have crashed out of the playoffs early in each of his past MVP years.

The Fish were 1-15 last year, Pennington led ‘em to 11-5,  the playoffs — and he had better stats than the commerical actor.
   Danica Patrick paid a $196 fine to settle a speeding ticket after going 54 mph in a 35 mph last month. Your thoughts?

There’s a bright side: this endorsement magnet will now be doing ads for radar detectors.

At the rate (or speed) she’s going, she’ll need one of those work permit licenses just to keep her job.

Shocking. Danica still got ticketed despite being the only professional race car driver in the world who could possibly get out of it because of her good looks.

Well, at least she wasn’t going 254 in a 35.

Hopefully, she can translate driving faster than cars on public roads to the racetrack and make that money back.

Must've been a female officer, no way male cop gives hot 26-year old Indy-series champ more than a warning.
   The Celtics are considering signing disgruntled guard Stephon Marbury if he can negotiate his release from the Knicks. Good move?

If Marbury wants to negotiate a release, he needs to hire a Mafia lawyer.

He’s hiring Mike Tyson as his agent.

I hope not, because his addition to the Celtics means someone would have to dream up another super-slick nickname for their bevy of superstars. Wait, I’ve got it: “The Big Four.” Awesome!

I think Marbury heard the bench in Boston is more comfortable than the bench in New York.

I’ve been thinking the Celtics needed someone to suck all the air from the ball, the team and the city, and no one sucks like Starbury.

Sure. And bring back Drew Barry and Matt Harpering, and make it a Georgia Tech re-union. Marbury's 31 and done.
   Bills safety Ko Simpson was arrested outside a bar in South Carolina for harrassing officers who were trying to arrest another man. What’s going on?

The Bills vowed to never sign another Simpson.

Rumor has it they’re going to open a dedicated Simpson wing at the Columbia prison — the family plan.

The “other man” in this story wasn’t identified, but odds are it was Pacman Jones.

I wonder if Ko has any relation to O.J.?

Who’d have thought the cops had another set of handcuffs?

Simpson’s related to former Bills’ star by the same name. Arrested while drunk and yelling “O.J.'s innocent” at cops.
   Ohio State freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor was a no-show at Fiesta Bowl media day in Arizona. What happened?

I blew off the entire Fiesta Bowl — I’m not allowed to come within 500 feet of a Margarita.

He was like me — forgot there was a Fiesta Bowl.

He had a Pryor engagement.

He mistakenly flew to Miami, thinking the Buckeyes were playing for the national title again.

Terrelle stayed up too late the night before studying his media clichés quote book (“One play at a time,” “At the end of the day...” etc.). He should be ready for the media after the game though.

Took longer than expected to make trip back to Columbus and return overdue library books.
