The Criteria...
I don't remember where I read it (perhaps nfl.com), but they base it on 3 levels of voting, TWO of which (I can't remember the 3rd) are fans' balloting and coach's balloting.
Favre apparently received more votes than KW in two of the three levels - so he gets the start. So yes, it is ABSOLUTELY a popularity contest.
What I find particularly amusing, is the Denver media were pitching a fit about one the Broncos' linebackers not being named in spite of registering 110 tackles. I had to laugh, because London Fletcher had that in about week 10. You know, I'd just as soon see NONE of our guys go because I can see NO good that comes of it - other than their own personal achievement. The risk of injury far outweighs any benefit. I wish they'd all just say "Bite me, I'll take my superbowl ring and go home."
