like six people voted. The list has Peyton Manning on it, so I refuse to recognize it exists.

[Bronco LB 59]

In that thread, I counted 3 votes for Vladimir Guerrero and 1 for Alex Rodriguez. Yet, Alex Rodriguez is the winner?

[TheDave]

Anyone who put Tony Stewart as the Best Driver is a complete idiot... guy who only turns left = good driver...:alghh:

[CBF1]

I sent an invite to most of the people in the board, but eight showed up and gave their valued opinions. Plus, by unbiased opinion and statistics these award-winners see suitable.<o:p></o:p>

It will be the unbiased opinion and stats again that number 18 gets the credit. Hey, I hate his guts too. But I can’t just write him off and give it to Jake the Snake… J<o:p></o:p>

LT, Brady, and Shaun Alexander have all played better than Manning. No one was saying Plummer should be the guy. This list sucks.

Since only about 7 people voted I don't think it holds much significance... even on the Mane, but hey the trophy is nice.

[2KBack]

I don't remember that thread, but now wish I did, I totally would like to make cases against a lot of these "winners"

[Conklin]

WE MAY DELETE SOME OF THESE CATEGORIES, BUT TRY YOUR BEST TO NOMINATE THE FEW YOU LIKE OR THINK SHOULD DESERVE. Try your hardest not to be biased towards the Broncos!

Thanks much! Happy Holidays to you all.
THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR INPUT!!!! I hope you go tell others to come here and submit theirs!!!!

The top nominations will be available for voting in a later thread. If there is only one nominee, or if it is unanimous, no voting will be required. Thank you again!
where's the vote?
