WJMorris3 Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Okay. This idea is borrowed from the local sports talk station, 610-WIP. I remember when on Fridays, they used to have people nominating the best and worst performances among sports people that week. The best performance was the Winner of the Week, and the worst performance, the Weasel of the Week.I figured we could bring that here. For the next four days, until 1 AM on Friday, February 18, I'd like you all to nominate winners and weasels in the realm of sports this past week (Monday, February 7 - Sunday, February 13). Eligible for either award would be players, teams, leagues, owners, commissioners, referees - in short, anyone who is officially recognized to be connected to a sports team or league. What they did need not have been done on the playing field - Randy Johnson could have been named as a weasel for his scuffle with the New York cameramen.Please nominate your choices for Winner and Weasel of the Week via PM to me by 1 AM on Friday, February 18. Once the nomination period is up, we'll have three days of voting.Will
Stampman Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 It's a good idea and I PM'd you the obvious weasels... Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
WJMorris3 Posted February 14, 2005 Author Posted February 14, 2005 Just bumping this up - the more nominees, the better! I take the best 5 nominees of each and put them up for vote on Friday.
WJMorris3 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 Just for future reference, it helps to include a sentence or so of why someone should be winner or weasel of the week. Makes it that much easier for me to see who should be on the list.
WJMorris3 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 Only about two days left to nominate! Let's get those nominees in!
CaolinaJoe Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I think this idea would be better served by people posting their nominations here. Winners are usually obvious, but weasels usually lead to some pretty funny posts. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien
WJMorris3 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 You know what? You have a point.Alright, y'all, you can post to the thread, with a reason, of course.
Stampman Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Well the weasel candidates I submitted, and I'm sure others did as well are so obvious do I really need to list a reason for Bettman & Goodenow? Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
WJMorris3 Posted February 17, 2005 Author Posted February 17, 2005 Let's bump this up, you have about 24 hours left.
