Adrian Peterson...FedEx Ground Player for Week 13!

Not really. Maurice Jones-Drew from the Jacksonville Jaguars won it. But Peterson should have. Are NFL voters just plain stupid? Compare stats:

Maurice = 31 att., 186 yds., 0 tds, longest run of 37 yds., avg gain per carry = 6 yds.
Peterson = 16 att., 107 yds., 3 tds, longest run of 43 yds., avg gain per carry = 6.7 yds.

The Jaguars beat the Titans, 17-6. The Vikings beat the Bills, 38-14.

The most efficient way of "working" is the least amount of effort for the most gained (something like that). Agreed? Peterson had less attempts for less yardage BUT his average gain per rush was higher AND he scored three times. Jones-Drew never scored a TD. Now, talk to me like I'm a 4th grader. Why should Jones-Drew's performance be held in higher regard than Peterson's? This does not make sense.

I'm declaring that NFL voters are morons and got it wrong AND that Adrian Peterson IS the FedEx Ground Player of the Week for Week 13. It is finished.

Jets' JONES, ELAM Nominated for FedEX, GMC Honors.

The Jets had a number of standout performances Sunday in their historic 47-3 thumping of the St. Louis Rams, and pair of players — RB Thomas Jones and S Abram Elam — have been nominated for two weekly-sponsored NFL awards.

Jones, who rushed for 149 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, is a candidate for FedEx Ground Player of the Week, and Elam, whose first career sack resulted in a 50-yard fumble-return TD for Calvin Pace, is up for the GMC Sierra Defensive Player of the Week.

Let's hope they have similar performances agianst the New England Patriots when the Jets travel to the Foxboro tomorrow evening..

BRETT FAVRE named FedEx Air Player of the Week (among other honors)!

For games played in Week 4 of the NFL Season.

Not surprisingly, Brett Favre has garnered his first NFL honors as the Jets' quarterback following his performance against Arizona on Sunday. Favre was also named the AFC's Offensive Player of the Week for his personal-best, team-record-tying six touchdown passes against Arizona and the Associated Press' (AP) NFL Player of the Week.

I was a bit disappointed in the GMC Defensive Player of the Week choice of Albert Haynesworth, DT, of the Tennessee Titans over Jets' Darrelle Revis, CB. Haynesworth recorded two sacks, six tackles and one pass defensed in the Titans' 30-17 win over the Vikings as Tennessee improved to 4-0. Revis intercepted Cardinals QB Kurt Warner twice, including a 32-yard return for a touchdown, as the Jets defeated the Cardinals, 56-35.
