From Peter Kings MMQB Column:

My All-Pro ballot

Below is the ballot I filed to the Associated Press as one of the voters for the annual All-Pro team. (Note: I vote for one left tackle and one right tackle, instead of the best two tackles regardless of position; same thing at guard. Also, the AP asks for two running backs and a fullback, but I vote for one running back only, because teams don’t play two running backs at once with much regularity.)

Blair Walsh miss dooms Vikings; NFL wild-card playoffs review | The MMQB with Peter King

That that was pretty neat. He has a good piece on Brees and his 10 years (so far) with the Saints too.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
