We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Awards Kerry Collins Can Actually Win
Kerry Collins may not be NFL MVP worthy, but there are several fictional awards that do capture his true essence. He can win the "QB of the best team through the first 12 games" award this season but thats truly not the MVP. Sexy Rexy won that award in 2006 and we all know how that turned out. espn's promotion of collins as the MVP was most likely based on the assumption that football is the ultimate team sport, hence winning is more important than individual stats. However, they convientely overlook the fact that collins isnt even the best player on the best team. The only players/coaches less valuable than him are his wide recievers. I'd give the MVP to cortland finnegan 50 times over before collins comes to mind. More fictional awards that collins can win are the "best hand-off to the running back" award or the "i'm more valuable than justine gage" award or the "i'm less suicidal than vince young" award
NOTE: the sexy rexy in reference in this post is NOT the same sexy rexy blogger on this site. The "Bright" One is actually referring to the Real Rex Grossman. God I hate him so much.
ReplyDeleteWinners of the "More valuable than Justin Gage Award":
Every single player in the NFL
And honestly, I think Gus Frerotte might beat out Collins for the "Best Hand-Off To A Running Back Award"
Jeez, Collins isn't good enough to win fictional awards!
Next post we must do, why Chad Pennington deserves to be MVP because Greeney says so. Even though Brain Kenny laughed at him on air when Greeny said so... lol
