Awards
The Ennis Del Mar Award for Balls the Size of Apples
Big Ben. Roethlisberger wen't bezerk this post season. Led the Steelers to 86 points - read that again, 86 points - against the #1, #2, #3 seeds on the road. 7 Tds for 1 interception. Threw the ball at nearly 70%. Check out this ridiculousness. Nearly 300 yds on 75% throwing for 2 TDs and 1 rushing TD. Only Gannon and Montana have had better performances historically, with games of 286 yds and 3 passing TDs and 1 running TD for Gannon and 331 yds and 3 passing Tds and 1 rushing TD for Montana. How's that for historical context? Oh, and that isn't the only all-time great style comparison to be made. Roethlisberger will be the second youngest QB of all time (1st is Dan Marino) to play in a Superbowl. And if he wins, he beats out Tom Brady as the youngest QB to win the big game. Oh yah. And he is easily the winningest QB currently playing. He is 26-4 as a starter. Yes, read that again. Jesus. That is an 87% win percent. Big Ben, I wish I knew how to quit you.
The John Stockton Award for Most Underrated Star Who Should Win the MVP This Season But Won't
Steve Nash. Just ridiculous. He is solely responsible for 44 points per game. This is the second highest total, behind Kobe at 45~. And he proved haters wrong by, along with Marion, leading a team with James Jones, Raja Bell, Brian Grant, Jared Reiner, Barbosa, and Diaw to the #2 spot in the Western Conference. I don't think we fathom just how good Nash is.
The Jake Plummer Award for Taking a Big Dump in a Big Game
Before yesterday, I would have given it to either Peyton Manning or LeBron James. But the Manning thing isn't really news. His playoff record is something like a 30% winning percentage. And James? Jesus. But that is for another day. Anyway, Jake the Snake found a way to steal it from them and reclaim his award.
Guy You Want to Piss Off the Least Or He Might Kill You Award
Kobe Bryant. 81 points. Holy shit. That is one scary dude. Had Kobe not gone off, this would have gone to Steve Smith. After not getting any touches in the first quarter, he asks to be put in on the punt return. Lo' and behold - he returns it for a touchdown. But anyway, that does not compare to Bryant's going off.
