The Awards are broken down into multiple categories ranging from the Betty White Award to the most underrated/overrated players in each sport. ENJOY
BASEBALL
Most Overrated:
- Jayson Werth- 126,000,000! That's a lot of freaking ZERO's for a guy who is already 31, hit in an unbelievably friendly hitters park, was surrounded by guys named Utley, Howard and Victorino and has a really fruity mustache. I'm not knocking the hustle but for what he is being paid he better hit 40+ dingers and hit about .330. How about this for a pun; Jayson might be werth something but he ain't werth that!
- Joba Chamerlain- Someone tell me when im supposed to be scared hes pitching? All the talk was this kid was the next Roger Clemons. An intimidator that even Dale Earnhardt would have been scared of. The dude straight blows. Heres the real question; Why the hell did his parents name him Joba!?! Go eat a burrito you know you want to.
- Jeff Francoeur- "Overrated? Francoeur hasn't been good for 3 years so how can you call him overrated?" Well considering people were calling him The Natural after his first season and now he can barely get an invite to Spring Training so I would say he fits the bill. I like Jeff Francoeur. In fact I have met him a few times and he couldn't be a nicer guy. Problem is he can't hit a curveball. Well he cant really hit anything. He has a very strong arm and is pretty solid defensively but that .230 BA sticks out worse than girls who tan in the winter.
- Andrew McCutchen- I know he is still young but this kid is going to be a freaking baller in the next 2 years. Unfortunately for him he plays for the Pirates. I see him winding up donning a Yankee or RedSox Jersey by 2014. The guy can fat fly and has a great bat. He is on the underrated list because he is a top OF in the game yet not a single person would consider him that if asked. Want a fantasy STUD this year? Draft my boy McCutchen.
- Kevin Youkilis- YOUUUUUUUUUUUUKKK to all you "Sawx" fans. He might look like an idiot as he stands in there waiting for you to bring the cheese but behind that beard is a legit power bat. Everyone always talks about how clutch Big Pops Ortiz is but Youkilis is just as big in clutch situations. That goatee beard looks more like something Chuck Norris would be proud of.
Worst Player in Baseball:
- Pedro Feliz- Anytime your OPS is HALF (.46) of the league average, you must be pretty shitty. I can't take full credit for this find as I did some googling and found that stat on Feliz. I remember when he was a 20+ HR guy who would give you a .270 average. Now he is easily the worst player in baseball that starts. This category could have been given to Corky Miller or Greg Norton but neither of them is even fit to be given an award, no matter how crappy the award.
- Mike Scioscia- I know this might be hard for some of you to swallow (that's what she said) but Scoscia has the Angels in contention almost every single year and has a title to show for it (2002). "but Chris, how is this any different than what Bobby Cox did?" First, don't mention Bobby Cox in my posts. Second, Scioscia has won with FAR FAR inferior talent than what Cox had. Scioscia is also a two time AL Manager of the year.
- Jerry Manuel- I know hes no longer the manager but this is based off of what he did while being the manager of the Mets. They were awful and completely underachieved. All his fault? Probably not but he couldn't manage a bullpen and just seemed like a real loser. Maybe he should have gotten thrown out a little more so he would get a free pass like you know who.
BASKETBALL
Most Overrated:- Chris Bosh- I went on record back when "The Big 3" started the year 8-6 that giraffe neck Chris Bosh is easily one of the most overrated players in the NBA. He was a 20/10 guy in Toronto. Big freaking deal! Toronto was horrible and he was the only decent player on the team. Of course hes going to have good numbers. Everyone acts like he is some kind of superstar. Trust me on this one....hes not. Would you consider Kevin Love a superstar?!?! Kevin Love averages 21 and 16 for the T-Wolves. While that is very very impressive he is by no means a superstar. Same thing for Bosh. The guy had a 1-19 night for crying out loud! That's almost impossible. Look at this toolbox at work....
- Joe Johnson- Is there another player in the league who goes MIA in big games more than Joe Johnson? If their is I challenge you to tell me who it is. The Hawks have set their entire franchise back 5-8 years with the absurd contract they offered him. I can't believe more people aren't on board with me here. We pay him to be a SUPERSTAR. The Sunday night game against the Knicks was a great stage for him to step up and play well. If you consider 15 5 and 3 a good game then yeah he's worth 21 million a year. I want someone to give me 3 examples over the last 3 years where you walked away from a game saying "we only won because JJ was incredible". You cant do it and that's a problem. Again, its not JJ's fault the Atlanta Spirit want to pay him all that money. However you would think these guys are smarter than you and me. I called this back when it happened and this is why I am so hard on Atlanta Sports. The JJ contract is what is wrong with the Atlanta sports scene. Everyone is ok with being ok. This here is quality Sports writing.
- Kevin Love- Is it just me or has there been ZERO talk about Kevin Love and the absolutely ridiculous numbers he is putting up. I know I said earlier that it helps he plays for the T-Wolves but he has tied the ALL TIME record for consecutive double doubles at 51. Thats freaking impressive no matter where you play. All time consecutive double doubles? No not Bill Russell, not Larry Bird, Not Shaq, none of those guys. Just a white boy from Oregon who will probably break Moses Malone's record tonight. Maybe its just me but I would take Kevin Love over Giraffe neck Chris Bosh all day everyday.
- Tim Duncan- "TIMMMAYYYYY" as he banks another jumper in off the glass. "The Big Fundamental" as he drop steps you to death. Did you know since the Spurs drafted Duncan #1 overall they have yet to have a season where they win less than 50 games? That's absurd. Lets not forget they also have 4 Championships in that same time frame. Duncan might be the most under appreciated Superstar that I can think of in the last couple of decades. No one EVER talks about him yet hes a double double machine and wins.
- Derek Fisher- DFish is like Robin to Kobe's Batman. Hes the little sidekick who is solid as hell and just seems to make plays when asked. I will never forget the shot he made against the Spurs that year in the playoffs that he got off in .4 seconds......DRAINO. Notice who made the shot prior. TIMMMMAYYYYYYYYYYY.
- Shelden Williams (TIE)- 5th overall pick huh? Could have drafted Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay or Rajon Rondo. Not only is Sheldon Williams the worst player in the NBA, he can't even beat his wife in a game of 1 on 1! Candace Parker would straight abuse Sheldon down low. Add to the fact that his forehead needs its own zip code and you got a recipe for disaster. Just look at the clip...
- Chris Quinn (TIE)- WHOOO?? Exactly my point. I feel like every time I turn on a game and I see Chris Quinn running the show I think that Ashton Kutcher is a few seconds away from popping out and blowing the cover on another Punk'd. This guy is what gives the white PG's a bad name. He is slow as balls, looks even goofier and has a horrible haircut.
Worst Coach:
Vinny Del Negro- Vinny Del Treyo to all you old school Spur fans. The guy looks like a Columbian Drug Lord but could flat stroke it from the outside. Now, hes leading a pretty good Clippers team into the ground. This was AFTER he underachieved as the BULLS coach the last few years. Its hard to determine who is the worst but this guy gets the nod because of his hair.
Best Coach:
- Greg Popovich (TIE)- As mentioned earlier the SPURS run over the last 12 years or so is pretty freaking incredible. You can bet your ass every time you play them they are going to play hard and be well coached. POP is the man and is a very firery dude.
- Phil Jackson (TIE)- I know its pretty absurd that I have him tied with Popovich but in actuality its much closer than you may think. Since 1999, Jackson has 5 Championships but Popovich has 4. Now Jackson has more but Popovich didnt have Kobe and Shaq on his team. I used to think that Phil Jackson was overrated until my High School coach proved me wrong. Michael Jordan had yet to win a playoff game until PJ came along. Kobe wasn't really Kobe until Phil came and his 11 Championships are a record.
FOOTBALL
Most Overrated:
- Chad Ochocinco- He used to be one of the best receivers in the NFL. Now he just is constantly running his mouth and can't back it up. He was all talk last year about how he and TO were going to light it up. NEWSFLASH Chad, TO had a good year and you stunk it up. Carson Palmer has had about enough of Chads crap as well telling Bengal ownership he will never play another down for them. Chad is also ridiculously cocky. While he is overrated he does have some very funny TD Celebrations when he does happen to score. This isn't Ochocinco but it made me laugh pretty hard:
- Matt Hasselbeck- Anytime Charlie Whitehurst is BROUGHT in to replace you....you must stink some kind nasty. Not only does he look unbelievably unathletic, but he plays that way. He gets hurt a lot and is probably in the bottom 5 for worst starting QB's in the league. Every now and then he will pull something out of his ass like he did against New Orleans but then its....cue the music!
Most Underrated:
- Curtis Lofton- What does a guy have to do in order to make a PRO BOWL? My lord, Lofton only had 118 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and an INT for the 13-3 Falcons! Not to mention the year prior he had 138 tackles. The guy flies under the radar for being a pretty damn good LB. I know Patrick Willis is the up and coming superstar but Lofton is not to far behind IMO and only getting better. Show this man some love already.
- Fullbacks- I am going to give some FB's some love here. How do you think it is that these great RB's break off big chunks of yardage? Most of the time its a steamroller who's job it is to rock a LB to open up a hole. You think offensive lineman dont get any love? Try being a FB. In Atlanta we have Ovie Mughelli who has been leading the way for Michael Turner the last 3 years and Turner has lead or been in the top 5 of rushing all 3 years. You had Emmitt Smith give Darryl Johnston a very special shoutout during his Hall Of Fame induction speech. What about Mike Alstott and Lorenzo Neal? 2 beasts who punished defensive players for years. WWAFD. What would a fullback do.
- Dan Orlovsky- the pride of UCONN football outside of Johnny Mac. It's pretty hard to be labeled the WORST in a professional sport because that still means your better than 99.9% of everyone who plays the sport. However, this guy is pretty freaking bad. The play he made against the Vikings still makes me laugh as he has absolutely no idea how bad he has just run out of bounds as he continues to go through his reads. Take a gander:
- Bill Belicheck- Its almost impossible to ignore what Bellicheck has done in new England over the last 8-10 years. 3 Super Bowls, multiple 12 win seasons and he has made the hoodie not as lame. He might be the biggest jerk in the room but the guy just wants to win and I can respect that.
- Eric Mangini- I know he is no longer in the league but this guy is absolutely terrible! ManGENIOUS as JETS fans tabbed him after 1 decent year and then the next year hes out on his ass only to get hired as the Browns new Head Coach. He is just bad. Cleveland sucks but even they knew that he was not very good.
Betty White Award
This normally goes to an individual but I am going to give this one to the Miami Heat. I can safely say at this point that their is absolutely NO CHANCE you are going to win the NBA Championship this year and thus....thats an EPIC FAIL. All the ridiculous drama surrounding the "chosen" one LeBron James and now you have lost 5 in a row. LeBron used to be my favorite player in the NBA and now I can't stand the guy. The arrogance and smugness of this guy is sickening. What have you accomplished?? MVP awards? Big freaking deal. Your ultimately judged on your Championship totals. DWade has already won. Chris Bosh needs to go out to the Serengeti where he belongs with his Giraffe neck and you need to shut your mouth until you win something. Again, the playoffs haven't started yet but trust me....its over for the heat. The big 3...get out of here. Mike Bibby is your PG! Don't make me laugh. The guy is drawing checks from Quikrete because they make his shoes!
The Summer's Eve D-Bag Award
This is not an athlete but at this point its bigger than anything going on in sports so free game. Charlie Sheen. I'm sorry but I don't think its remotely funny nor do I think he is funny at all. In fact, I think Two and a Half Men is one of the lamest shows on TV. He looks like a guy who has completely lost his mind and fried his brain. These new videos he keeps releasing about him being a warlock and having his goddesses around him is just weird. Enough already. Why can't people in Hollywood just be normal for once? You got Charlie Sheen going ape shit and Linday Lohan stealing jewelry which they have on video tape! She seems to think she can now sue the jewelry store for releasing the tapes. Newsflash they own the tapes! They can do what they please with them. Stop being a mean girl. Back to Mr. Warlock. Not only do you pretty much look like a walking skeleton but I am going to go out on a limb (shocker here) and say you are dead within 2 years. That might be harsh but there is only so much one man can take. Thats it folks! Once again thanks for reading and spreading the word.

As always Just Bro It.
