The fan voting for Super Bowl MVP is an election that any Chicago politician would love. This is one vote where you are encouraged to vote early and often.You can vote for Mitch Berger if you want (which is just funny), but more annoyingly, you can vote as many times as you want. To check it out, I voted at NFL.com for James Harrison once. Once you vote, the biggest box left is "Vote Again." Vote once more, and it asks you to vote again. This goes on for as long you want to vote.
If you don't mind wasting your time, you can sit and stuff the ballot for several hundred votes. If this was just a fan vote for conversation that didn't matter it would be one thing, but fan voting counts for 20 percent of the voting, so it actually means something.
If the NFL is aiming for getting plenty of fan votes, they are succeeding but at the cost at having legit balloting for the MVP award.

Nah, Holmes got it and he's the one who deserved it.

I think it was premature to start the voting as soon as they did. The game didn't actually commence until the 5 minute point. By my count there was 4 players that were eligible...Warner, Fitz, Rothy and Holmes.
On a side note, Polly was not on his game tonight...something was wrong and I'd be interested to find out if it was due to the contacts
