There should also be a "best avatar" award.

The funniest poster award should just be called "The Critic" award. So technically it will be the second funniest poster,otherwise critic will win every year cause he is the man.

I think we have a nomination...

Need more baseball themed awards. Like witesoxfan once pointed out, there are more specific awards for the political board than on the baseball board. What happened to the Ozzie or KW award for armchair GM's and coaches?

Can I pull a Blago & just pay for a nomination?

In other news, shipps is a wonderful human being, a credit to his gender and is feared and respected by all who come in contact with him.

Sorry, did you say something?

 

Gage's Penis is the thread of the year, so everything else is mere formality.

Too bad it was posted on Jan 1, 2009 and isn't eligible.

Well, then we might as well shut down for the rest of the year because it won't get better than that.

Comeback Poster of the Year

I think there should be a "Best Newsbreaker" Award, and then I should win it. I always click rotoworld at the right time!

Well, well, well. Many of you have written how much you like my posts and insight about Cuban players. I have declared myself a candidate and I need your vote now. In the spirit of change, we need to nominate a foreigner.

 

I may sell my vote to the higher bidder. By the way, you Chicagoans are in the news a lot lately. Obama, the governor that wanted to sell a senate seat in Ebay, etc, etc, etc. :lolhitting

 

What is going on over there?

 

 

Ha, ha, ha. Just kidding!

Edited by Cubano

I do not seek, and shall not accept, your nomination to defend my prestigious awards of last year.

I just want to add because I have a feeling alot of guys are being lazy and not nominating anyone for anything....you better not say s*** when someone wins that you dont think should because you didnt put your 2 cents in on the nominations. So atleast nominate 1 poster for something,you dont have to do all of them.
