Adrian is the MVP – Max is a physical receiver.

Too bad we didn’t watch more than 10 minutes of the Pro Bowl yesterday. Up until this morning, we didn’t know who won, much less the fact that Adrian Peterson was named the MVP of the game.

The Pro Bowl has officially run out of gas. It’s not a good sign that football fans would rather watch Orange County and Joe Dirt on cable instead of watching the game. Little Max played a more physical game of football yesterday and he was being guarded by Elmo. Sure, the kid is only 2-months-old and he can’t run routes yet. But, he’s already got better hands than Troy Williamson and he was willing to use his body to fend off Elmo’s size. Once this kid gets the hang of holding up his head longer and controlling his limbs, he is going to be a pass-catching machine.

None of those skills were on display yesterday during the Pro Bowl. It would be better to have all of the players compete in an “American Gladiators” contest instead of playing in a meaningless football game. In fact, why hasn’t this happened? It’s a guarantee that within the next 12 months, the American Gladiators people figure out a way to either have a “pro athletes” version or a “celebrity” version of Gladiators. It makes too much sense not to do it.

We are happy for AP and even happier that he didn’t get hurt during the contest. Now we have to figure out a way for Max to start working on throwing the ball back once he “catches” it between his arm and the couch/floor. He will get there.
