As we head into the final week of the regular season, there is a clear runaway for the NFL MVP. Aaron Rodgers has been absolutely stellar for the top-ranked Green Bay Packers, It seems clear he will repeat as the league MVP this season, regardless of Week 18 performances.
However, a recent Chicago media member with an MVP vote has announced he will not be voting for Rodgers, despite him being the clear best on-field performer this season. The moron is Hub Arkush. Despite admitting Aaron Rodgers could not get his MVP vote before stepping foot on the field this season, the Associated Press supports him. That doesn’t seem problematic at all.
Hub Arkush is the kind of person to write a food review for a restaurant he never visited. Sources say Hub Arkush judges books by their cover. This is speculation, but I bet Hub Arkush cries over spilled milk every damn time.
This man has one of the 50 NFL MVP votes, which is an issue. While this stooge likely won’t stop Aaron Rodgers from winning his fourth MVP, it still leads us to ask who votes for NFL MVP?
Who Votes for NFL MVP?
As stated above, 50 voters determine the NFL awards, including the NFL MVP.
“We want a cross-section of writers whose main beat is the NFL and who cover it on a national basis,” said Barry Wilner, who has organized the Associated Press’s voting for at least 20 years. “Some of the guys on this list cover teams, but they write on a national basis so they’re very clued into the entire league. We want a mix of print, website, radio and TV.”
While there isn’t a public list of who votes for NFL MVP this season, these are individuals who voted last season.
