It’s a great time to be a Pats fan. My boy Tom Brady is the NFL 2007 Most Valuable Player as voted by the Associated Press sports writers. Maybe I should start wearing my #12 jersey to work? :-)

Patriots quarterback Brady rides records to MVP Award

Add Most Valuable Player to all the other accolades Tom Brady has been collecting.

The New England Patriots’ record-setting quarterback drew all but one vote Saturday in romping to The Associated Press 2007 NFL MVP Award in the same manner his team romped through its schedule, going 16-0. On the way to the first unbeaten regular season since Miami went 14-0 in 1972, Brady put on a performance for the ages.

It is on a day like this that one, if they have any soul, will reflect on much… on freedom, on principles, on family, on beliefs that transcend what our puny minds think we’ve mastered. Nobody values their freedom until they lose it…and we haven’t lost ours in a long, long time. Sounds like we need to invoke some mandatory military service… one year of your life to demonstrate both your gratitude to this country for letting you be here and your thankfulness to the men and women that have given much, sometimes all, so that you can live freely in this big continental amusement park.

As an aside – I heard a news clip of John Kerry’s remarks about American soldiers terrorizing the Iraqi people… and as a former military officer who knows some of the soldiers he’s slandering I want to slap this guy around a bit. I have a feeling I’d need to take a number.
