Lol perfect MVP for this team...celebrate mediocrity! Surprised they didn't give everyone a trophy

I remember all of the MVP chants for him throughout the year

Accept what it is. Unless you're a troll and we wouldn't expect anything less from people who don't have a life.

Leidner definitely is an offensive beast. Well deserved Mitch

 

[Spoofin]

It would be interesting to hear who you folks feel should have got MVP? KJ is the only player I can think of other than Mitch that could have been considered.
