He's a good guy. I hope he uses this for fuel.

I mean what is he going to say? "Yea screw them I deserve it"? They have some great finalists, LF is still a tremendous back but a better man. Hope he brings it again next year.

I hope they invite him next years and he tell they plugs no thanks

It's unfortunate that voters value the second half of the season more than the first, and that they penalize players for the downfalls of their teams but that's been the case every year. This shouldn't really be much of a surprise

No offense to anyone, but I cannot stand when people say he needs to use this for fuel. He has had enough fuel and motivation all year. The game plan he was presented with is the reason he is not in New York. he can have ten times more "fuel" next year and he will still not be there.
