From the distribution of different awards, you can see the league situation in the 2008 season, with all the heroes competing for the competition, and a hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers burst into full bloom.

The most intuitive thing is the regular season MVP. Generally speaking, the best offensive player of the year or the best defensive player of the year should be the regular season MVP. There are few cases of being awarded to different players separately, but this year is an exception.

The regular season MVP was awarded to Big Manning, and the best offensive player of the year was awarded to Brees. Obviously, both of these two quarterbacks performed their best in the regular season, and it was difficult to tell the winner without distinguishing between Xuan and the winner. In the end, this happened when the reporters were unable to choose.

Moreover, the best of each individual event belongs to different teams, and no team can win two awards—

The Atlanta Falcons contributed the best offensive rookie of the year, Matt Ryan, which is actually an important assist for Smith to top the best coach of the year. Because Smith, who was defensively born, successfully opened up the situation on the offensive end after having Ryan. This is indeed a huge surprise. The two awards are complementary and therefore cannot be considered "tied".

From this we can see that the league is indeed a group of heroes, and the accidents and unpopularity in the playoffs are parallel to each other, which once again proves this.

Among them, the Walter Payton Award can be mentioned separately because it is an award for charity and volunteer activities. After its establishment in 1970, it aims to encourage league players to work hard to give back to the society, participate in related activities of league organizations, and repay the support of the community and fans.

Before 1999, the award was called the Person of the Year; after 1999, shortly after the death of the Chicago Bears running back Walter Peyton, in order to recognize his consistent efforts and support for charity activities, the award was named after him.

For most people, this is not an important award, but more of a reputation and honor. If you are not interested in the position of the Player Union, you only need to cooperate with participating in league-related activities, and there is no need to do your best to strive for it; but on a certain level, this is actually a verbose proof of a player's connections within the league.

This year, the Walter Payton Award is attributable to Kurt Warner.

This quarterback, who always insists on giving back to society, also worked diligently outside the court to fulfill his dreams: he hopes that more people can bravely pursue their dreams, just like he was back then.

In addition to these awards, the league has also set up many special awards:

The best offensive and defense of the year, the best of the year, the best of the year (fantasy, note 1) game player, etc., select the performance of the offensive and defense or moment, reawaken people's memories of the exciting regular season duel, and it is also a reward for the players.

However, there is only one winner in each award, one carrot and one pit. In the professional league with so many NFL contestants, even if you divide the cake, this is obviously not enough. Players who really perform well in the regular season can find their respective positions in the Pro Bowl, the first team of the All-American team, and the second team of the All-American team. This can also be considered a summary of the entire regular season.

The so-called Pro Bowl can be referred to the NBA's All-Star Game, including the Skills and Star Confrontation Games, which are held in Honolulu, Hawaii every year to ensure that players and audiences can relax and enjoy.

The first team of the All-American team and the second team of the All-American team are relatively simple, which is the first and second best team of the season. When referring to the player's resume, the number of times selected for the first team of the All-American team is undoubtedly one of the best judgment criteria; of course, the number of times participating in the Pro Bowl is also a very intuitive number.

Every year, the Pro Bowl and the voting for the first and second teams of the United States are divided into three parts, the coaching group, the player group and the fan group, each accounting for one-third.

Although the fan group's vote-brushing behavior is still inevitable, and the star-studded top stars can still gain some advantages, the regular season night game stage provides a platform, and players who contribute their highlights in the night game can often win attention. In addition, the rugby league has many players, and different players can win their own opportunities - it depends on whether the players can seize it, so overall, voting remains relatively objective.

It is precisely because of this that the Pro Bowl is often regarded as an auxiliary award for market value and brand effect, while the first and second teams in the United States are considered to be a professional affirmation of absolute hard power. This statement is not absolute, but it does have reference value for the team.

This year, the Green Bay Packers, who stumbled in the regular season, did not win too much attention in the selection of first and second teams in the United States. The Green Bay Packers, whose entire journey of advancing to the playoffs, were obviously not the protagonist of the 2008 season. This is also the reason why they are often considered dark horses in the playoffs.

In fact, both Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals are like this, with only six players from both teams being selected for the Pro Bowl; and both of them were ignored in the selection of first and second teams, with only two players being selected for the All-American lineup.

From an objective perspective, this result is not surprising. The regular season performance of the two teams is indeed so good; but the NFC finals were finally launched between these two teams, which once again proves that rugby is a collective sport, and individual excellence does not lead to victory. The Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals are both examples of winning by relying on teams.

The progress and results of the National League final also proved this again.

Having said that, it is still sincerely happy for the players on the Green Bay Packers team who can be recognized by the league. After all, this is a rare personal honor.

First of all, the Pro Bowl selection.

The Pro Bowl can be completely matched with the NBA's All-Star Game. Three or even four players will be voted for each position, such as quarterback position, one starter, two substitutes, and then the American League and the NBA voted separately, which means that six quarterbacks in the league can be selected.

Moreover, the situation of the Pro Bowl is quite special. Because it is the weekend before the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl teams often choose to miss the situation in order to avoid injury and long-distance travel between Hawaii. Then, the same position may be vacant again, so in addition to the substitutes, there are also substitutes who are put on the bench.

In addition, the Pro Bowl is not a mandatory competition. Some players are absent due to injuries, and some players claim to be injured because they do not want to attend. In this case, they will choose substitute players who will be replaced.

It is precisely because of this that the roster of the Pro Bowl is very flexible, ensuring that all players with excellent performance in the season can be beaten in one go.

Note 1: Fantasy is an online community game. Each player can choose their favorite players according to their needs and form a team; and then determine the team's victory or defeat based on the actual performance of the real players in the regular season.
