I don’t care who wins individual awards; understood there are degenerates who bet on this stuff, but to me, it isn’t important.
I don’t give a rat’s ass who wins MVP.
I don’t care who wins Coach of the Year. In any sport.
It. does. not. matter.
I care about who makes the playoffs.
I care about who wins the Super Bowl……you know, team stuff.
Down the road, Hall of Fame inductions should not rely on how many MVP’s you won; stats and the eye test should determine who gets in the Hall of Fame. MVP voting is subjective.

— Do college football players enjoy going to bowl games in cold weather places?
