NEW YORK - Record-setting LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers ran away with The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award Thursday the way he eluded defenders in leading his team to the AFC's best record (14-2) and a favorite's role for the Super Bowl. "When you're MVP of the league, it's a great accomplishment," Tomlinson said, adding the honor means "that I've had a great year, that's all, on a great team."
But with so much more on the horizon, he hopes.
"I would feel so much better about winning if we win the Super Bowl. It would feel like it would be everything," Tomlinson said.

Haven't heard about personal thuggish shenanigans, so that's a plus. And it's beyond question that his talents have been key to SD's success this year.
Good call.

Definitely. Can hardly tell by the name, but he's definitely a man.

I thought he'd hit more than 31 TDs, but that's quite the record in and of itself. Winning the MVP award ain't a bad consolation either.
The playoffs are going to be mighty interesting.
