I can’t choose between those, they’re all “winners”

I also find I’m at a Sophie’s Choice when it comes to voting, but I respect the process and, like the Dude, I will abide.

But one suggestion, since they’re now deceased, can we give Big Willie and PMOW “Lifetime Achievement” awards?

Oh, Borges still walks among the living? Sorry. Just Will and Lobel then.

John, that doesn’t count – the original post pointed out that as a “news” story, it could not be eligible for worst “column.”

jk, I’m with you. I actually enjoyed that column. I would rather have an intelligently written column on a soft topic than a downright stupid column written on a “hard” topic.

Too bad Murray Chass is not eligible for this contest.

Someone on the board made a point about comment #2…

“Yeah he(Bledsoe)did, and he went 5-13 with it”….lol

“I protected that SOB (Harrington) for years and this is how he repays me?”

Wow, I either forgot that show or I didn’t see it–but that sentence pretty much sums up what Will the Shill was all about, especially in his final years…..not a journalist, but a “buddy” and “protector” to the people he liked, and a scourge upon the people he didn’t like.

Point 1 makes sense; Point 2 is insane, since the myths about the “benefits” the Patriots derived from taping signals have long ago been exploded by rational, thinking people, like the good folks at Scouts, Inc. (not to mention Jimmy Johnson, Mike Shanahan, and Dick Vermeil, to name just three Super Bowl-winning coaches who all said that it was no big deal, and that they had done similar things).

I hope you’re not serious about Point 2.

What about my article about the sypgate tapes a day before the Superbowl?

Plus, all those different offensive systems. Thirteen in seven years! He never got a chance!
