The NFL Defensive Player of the year, that is.
Last year, Charles Woodson won it over the more deserving Darrelle Revis, and this year Troy Palomalu, who missed two games, received the award over Clay Matthews.
Just ridiculous. No doubt Palomalu is good, but he was nowhere near as outstanding across the board like Matthews was.

Mathews was awesome.
what got me was that Troy missed parts of like four games, including the two whole games, and yet he was still given the DPOY.
Its a joke., two years running.
Agreed. He didn't even lead the league in interceptions. Did you see his play against Baltimore in the playoffs? Missing tackles and getting trucked.
They said Ed Reed got 1 vote. He missed 6 games, and still lead the league in interceptions.
I would have given to Mathews.
If Green Bay doesn't roll this Super Bowl... I'm almost betting it'll come down to a penalty against Green Bay, that sets Pitt up to win #7 and the whole Big Ben comeback story. Blah on Pitt.
I hate that you are so anti-steeler's :waver:
sorry to hi-jack the thread...Quote:

I was shocked to hear Polamalu won also. Sounds like Matthews was the favorite.
thats an AWESOME point Steer. Ed Reed missed more games than Polamalu, yet he had more INTs.
Polamalu had like 30 more tackles in 14 games. Reed had 37 in 10 games. Give him four more games, he gets roughly 50 tackles, only 10 behind Troy.
Both had same amount of fumbles forced.
It was given to the NFL's poster boy. I'm betting the NFL is making some kind of percentage off of Troy's Head and Shoulders deal. He gets defensive player of the year, his stock goes up, their percentage gets better.
Loving me some Steelers and Palomalu...woot woot!!
look guys, I understand how you feel. I could NOT stand anything to do with the Niners for a long time. when you win a lot you don't like them if you are not a fan. The Pats are hated because they win all the time. The Steelers are not everyone's fav team so you are tired of them. I use to HATE everything about Rice and Montana and the list went on and on. Same with the Cowboys of the 90's, couldn't stand to see them win anyting.
As a LONG TIME Steeler fan I have been through the great time's of the 70's (late 70's for me) and suffered through the 80's.
This has nothing to do with Steelers hate, its giving an award to a guy who missed two games.
I just made my comment about disliking the Steelers. I have every since I knew what football was. Not because they win so much, and I'm tired of them. I've just NEVER liked them. I do have a 'Bus' jersey (and it's because he went to ND).Quote:

he missed 2 games. Mathews missed 1 game. Harrison was 3rd and I'm not sure he missed a game at all. does that mean that James Harrison should have maybe won because he didn't miss any games?Quote:

A lot of people just don't like Ben, with that whole sexual harassment thing, he's not popular at all. Reading about a poll eariler that said he's gong to be the most disliked player in the superbowl by like 75%.
No, Harrison shouldn't have won it at all. Mathews played better than Troy this year, and as I stated earlier, Troy didn't even lead the league in interceptions. He's a poster boy for the NFL, it's plain and simple. I don't dislike Troy at all.Quote:
