The Awards are a Joke

I am not a fan of awards to be completely honest. The voting is usually crap and never make sense, but I think this year may have been the craziest honors awards I have seen. Some of them were well deserving and made sense, and others were very... strange. 

It is not that Lamar Jackson won the NFL MVP, I think he had a great season, made the team great and successful, and got the job done. But for him to get 49 of the 50 votes for him to be the MVP is insane to me. There has been 2 times where the NFL has had a QB to be unanimous for MVP, it was Tom Brady where the Patriots were 14-2 with his 36 touchdowns and 4 interceptions and then there was Lamar Jackson in 2019 where 14-2 with 36 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. This years' Lamar Jackson went 13-4 with 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. This is a much different season than those unanimous MVP seasons, but knowing he got 49 votes with those stats is pretty insane to me. I do think he deserves the MVP this year, but getting 49 votes out of the 50 will not make sense to me. 

I think Christian McCaffrey and Myles Garrett both really deserved their offensive/defensive player of the year awards this year. They had great seasons and proved their abilities. 

Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the years were very well deserved also. I think the Panthers have made the biggest mistake ever with not taking C.J. Strout, but that is what you get when you care about computer scores and not raw playing abilities. 

The Coach of the Year award is where I know that the NFL awards are fake and a complete waste of time. The Cleveland Browns head coach getting it over Dan Campbell may be the craziest thing I have ever seen. The Cleveland Browns had a successful season, they went 11-6 and made the playoffs. They got destroyed to the Texans in the first round. But Dan Campbell made the playoffs AND won 2 rounds in the playoffs. He won them a playoff round for the first time since before I was born, then won another playoff game, and almost made it to the Super Bowl. AND HE ONLY RECEIVED VOTES FROM 15 OF THE 50 BALLOTS. ARE YOU INSANE? 

Do not getting me started with Joe Flacco winning it over Damar Hamlin for comeback player of the year. One of them came back to the NFL and won a couple of games, one of them CAME BACK TO LIFE AND PLAYED THE NFL AGAIN. You be the judge of that one.

The only awards I will care about now for the NFL is the Super Bowl Champions and that is it... None of the awards mean anything and the voting is just a waste.

  We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have.  Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for... 5.) Weather The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit...

Best Sequel Ideas for Disney Movies

Image
  Adults will be running to the living room couch to be eating Dunkaroos and a Lunchable waiting for the new movie to come up. This cast is incredible to see and will get people of all ages to watch. Kind of curious if they will have EVERYONE from the previous ones to come, but either way, it's the nostalgia that the older people will need to see, and the younger kids can start from the first Camp Rock and watch them all the way to the newest one coming up. This is a win/win scenario for viewers, and I cannot wait to see how it goes. Now if they are doing this... will they be doing this for new movies? Here are a top 5 Disney movies that I would absolutely love for them to make a reboot to be put on in the future.                                                                    ...

Detroit Lions - Believe or Dont!

Image
This is my first blog about the Detroit Lions for the year. It stung very hard with the Detroit Lions losing to the Washington Commanders home in the first round of the playoffs. To be a Lions fan, I have never been more confident in a football team. We kept winning primetime games and coming back when we were losing later in the game... the Detroit Lions never get to do that. So right when the confidence was at the highest it possibly could, it went crumbling down and the Lions fell off the playoffs early that year. But you know what... this is a knew year, and after week 1, I heard many people saying they do not believe in them this year, and with that I say... Stay on the ship or do not think about coming back.  The season was amazing last year, I agree, they did everything besides win the Superbowl. New year, same energy... so we thought. Week 1 in Green Bay is a scary one to start. Especially when they have just received Micah Parsons as a pass rushing threat to add on for the...
