Dr.Z: Thurman should have been MVP in Giants-Bills Super Bowl
It’s a disgrace that he (Thurman) wasn’t the game’s MVP. I was a selector then, & I tried to convince the dim bulbs who were my fellow selectors who kept mumbling that you had to vote for a guy on the winning team that Thomas had twice the game that Anderson did. In fact, I bitched so long and so loud that I was never again a selector.
