According to The EB chat on "that site" he quit the AP voting role a few years back over a revote. His claim is that there isn't one from this media market anymore... there are 50 voters. Pittsburgh is a top 30 media market and.. you know... one of 32 (Assuming you count the new York teams separately) places in the country that actually have a pro football team... and one of the most rabid football hotspots in the country... how much of a joke is the AP these days?
