Roethlisberger-Harrison voted "Best in the AFC North"

I would like to file this post under the heading, "Obvious Bullshit that doesn't need to be said". However, I'll report it anyway. James Walker, ESPN's AFC North blogger, who I have to say really knows his shit, has recently reported on a survey he conducted among players in the AFC North, or as everyone else in the NFL refers to it, "Ouch".
30 AFC North players were surveyed, and they were asked to nominate not only the best quarterback in the conference, but also the toughest overall player. Also filed under the "Obvious" column, Roethlisberger won the Best Quarterback moniker with a staggering 18 out of 30 votes. Go figure, you win 2 Superbowls in your first 5 seasons, and people think you can play football. Curiously Baltimore's Joe Flacco, last years rookie sensation (sans vs. the Steelers...all three times) netted 5 votes putting him in third place behind Carson Palmer who received 7. Two retards voted for the craptastic Cleveland duo of Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson, who tied for last place receiving a vote each. I'm surprised the Not-So-Ambiguously Gay duo received any votes at all considering they play a style of football more akin to the Special Olympics, but I bet they covet their fourth place ribbons.

Now, on to the main event. James "Deebo" Harrison, seen above as he busts up a Browns fan for being a cocksucker, was voted the conferences toughest player netting a total of 10 out of 30 votes. Deebo narrowly edged Ray Ray Lewis who took a "killer" second place with 8 votes. Tied for third place with three votes each was Baltimore's Terrell Suggs, and the invincible Hines Ward. All in all, Pittsburgh placed five players on this list: Harrison, Ward, Aaron Smith, Roethlisberger, and LaMarr Woodley. The notable absence of any player from the Cincinnati Bengals on the "Toughest Player" list is questionable, considering they would probably just shoot you if they knew you didn't vote for them.

Seriously, what a waste of time these two polls were. The answers were so apparently obvious that there was no need to waste time asking the questions. Some polls I would like to see Walker conduct: Player most likely to have Rupaul on their IPod, Cleveland Brown who hasn't peeked in the shower (or received a staph infection), or Bengal most likely to realize their team blows horse nuts. There are some polls worth conducting.
