Best Regular Season Thread
Best Postseason Thread
Best Offseason Thread
Best Non-NFL Sports Thread
Best Totally Off-Topic Thread

-------------------------------------

Nominations will open today, and will continue through August 4, 2007.

There are two ways in which you can nominate someone (or some thread) as the case may be.

(1) Below this thread, in this forum, will be individual threads for each of the categories. You can post your nomination in the appropriate category.

(2) Or, if you want to remain anonymous, you can PM me with your nominations.

You can also "second" and "third" and "fourth" nominations, etc. In fact, this would be a good idea to insure that your nominated people reach the "finals."
If some category gets a zillion "tied" nominations, I will trim it down as fairly as possible - - taking into account people nominated multiple times, general variety, and so forth. But this particular part will be a matter of my unfettered discretion.


After the nominations are closed, I will create polls in this forum with the top nominations in each category for people to cast their votes for the winners. (The identities of the persons voting will not be disclosed.)

Subsequently, we will tally the votes and announce the winners!

[BroncoBuff]

Best Totally Off-Topic Thread: For his truly prolific and prodigious body of work, I nominate claviculasolomonis in a walk. Some of the most mind-expanding topics and stories all collected together right here on the Mane. He should have a Room dedicated only to all those threads.

Best Offseason Thread: I nominate listopencil's "Post a Picture From the Last Time KC Won a Super Bowl" (http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=34165) Thread, an instant classic.


Poster of the Year: I nominate RhymesayersDU. He's all over the board - football, basketball, WARRP Room, off-topics, Sopranos, LOST, etc... Always good, informative takes, never too L O N G , he doesn't get angry or outta line, and the Weight Loss thread was his idea! :thumbsup:
I nominate Rhymesayers...

Rookie of the Year: I nominate dragondawg - I really don't know who else should be nominated here, but ... dawg is the perfect rookie, NEVER argues, RARELY even gives many opinions. Just scours the newspapers and internet for Broncos articles and posts every one of them. And videos. :thumbsup:
I nominate dragondawg ...

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[Atlas]

yeah whatever Buff says. He does all my thinking and heavy lifting for me.

[CBF1]

I might nominate Slap for everything. He can even get ROY since he left then came back

[BroncoBuff]

I just noticed listo's picture thread is too old - December 2005. It should move to 'Ring of Fame Threads' though.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
. . . . . . . . . . . 2006-07

I nominate bronco610. All you have to due is go to the Bike for Sam thread to see why. Heck he should be poster of the year.

EDIT: Whoops he has been a member since 2005. I nominate him for POY then.

Offseason Thread of the Year: This is the easiest one of them all. A Bike for Sam.

[theAPAOps5]

http://bp0.blogger.com/_JcjL79fp600/RlYx_Kqc90I/AAAAAAAAAP4/rVVaRo0i0gw/s400/happy+sam

Need I say more.

[Atlas]

Totally disagree on ROY. I nominate bronco610. All you have to due is go to the Bike for Sam thread to see why. Heck he should be poster of the year.

Offseason Thread of the Year: This is the easiest one of them all. A Bike for Sam.

I like bronco610 but he threatened to beat up boob. We can't have our rookie posters beating up our trolls!

[theAPAOps5]

All the more reason to vote ;D

[Los Broncos]

http://bp0.blogger.com/_JcjL79fp600/RlYx_Kqc90I/AAAAAAAAAP4/rVVaRo0i0gw/s400/happy+sam

Need I say more.

Good to see this.

[Rocket 7]

Good to see this.

I nominate Lynchmob72 for Rookie of the Year

[Dukes]

I'll give Kaylor AND SoCal POY for their camp reports alone.

[Dukes]

I nominate Lynchmob72 for Rookie of the Year

I'd second that

[theAPAOps5]

Lynch is a decent choice for ROY.

[BroncoBuff]

SoCal should win the best game-analysis or draft analysis for sure .... but the camp reports deserve some separate award - like MVP or something.

I think of POY as being a variety of things - in a variety of places, but SoCal is definitely Most Valuable Poster - MVP.

Whadd'ya say, Old Dude? Can we add an 'MVP' Award?

[BroncoBuff]

Avatars: I'm not sure if it's a winner, but I loved this one:

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/8926/akrk1.jpg
If it's an original picture, I nominate it! Sorry, but I'm not 100% sure whose it was (ak1971?)

And definitely bronco610 and ApaOps5 are right in the thick of ROY contention....

And "Best Performance by a Rival Fan in Any Thread" ... I'm not sure which thread exactly, but Lone Bolt is a damn good poster.

[theAPAOps5]

Xenos is another great rival poster. I like both those guys. SirCheyenne(sp?) is a great KC poster too.

[CBF1]

I like bronco610 but he threatened to beat up boob. We can't have our rookie posters beating up our trolls!

With this info he just got my vote... Beating trolls up is high up on my list.:thumbsup:

[Atlas]

I agree but rookie posters shouldn't be able to do until the vets get the first crack at them.. Dammit they have to wait their turn. They just can't come in here and beat our trolls up before we get a shot!! It just isn't right!!

[DomCasual]

Xenos is another great rival poster. I like both those guys. SirCheyenne(sp?) is a great KC poster too.

Dude, he's not a KC fan. He's a home-grown Bronco fan!

You crazyass! :)

[Jana®]

I say me.. I'm a rep whorette! :D

[theAPAOps5]

Dude, he's not a KC fan. He's a home-grown Bronco fan!

You crazyass! :)

Whoops I think I mixing up posters then. Infact I know I am now. I was thinking of NaptownChief he is one of the few good KC poster. Man I a dumb dumb.

[Jason in LA]

I'm going with Lynchmob for ROY. Mostly because I can't think of anything about those other two guys nominated (no disrepect to you guys ;D). I actually remember a lot of his posts, so he's left his mark in my book.

[TheDave]

So who is in the HOF already?

And as for rookie Bronco610 all the way... and it has little to do with the bike. Threatening to beat up the blob gets high marks in my book!

As for the greatest meltdown... Take your pick from one of the numerous free slap threads.

[TDmvp]

hhhmmmm meltdown of the year .... /ponder hmmmmm maybe ...

[Los Broncos]

Poster of the Year "Kaylore"


Rookie of the Year "Dragon"

[minibronco]

I nominate DragonDawg for Rookie of the Year and anything by Houshmazode in the photoshop forum.

[Vegas_Bronco]

Now this is awesome, I had nooo clue that there was an OM HOF:spit: ...

... sorry, don't tell anyone this, but there are times that I read the OM and wonder how much more involved a person can get on the OM - some of you are truly over-dedicated to the cause. Seriously, I wonder how you do it, but I appreciate and love the culture that is the OM.

I would gladly pin the title of OM HOFAMER on anyone who has over 5,000 posts in a relatively short period.

[broncosteven]

If I have a son I will name him Kaylor and call him Kahn for short.

If any of my kids grow up to have a fondness for trees I will call them BroncoBuff or BB for short.

If I have a son who likes guys and won't move out of my basement, who won't keep his word as an oath, and likes bobba fett and twinkies more than life I shall call him Bob. - This is not a good thing.

If I have a Bad ASS Son that knows football and lays down the law I shall name him -slap-

If I have a picture taking son his name is PEZ

If I have a tailgating son, Meck

If I have a Computer admin son, TJ

If I have a smartassed son, Dom

If I have a Pervert for a Son, Atlas

If I have another sweet girl, Sassy or STG - Its a toss up.

[Jana®]

I agree with Lynch as ROTY.. I look forward to his posts!

[ICON]

I wouldn't say I was a pervert...... By the way, how come I'm the pervert and STG is a sweet Girl?? That's ****ed up. Have you read any of her posts? Hilarious!

[Sassy]

I wouldn't say I was a pervert...... By the way, how come I'm the pervert and STG is a sweet Girl?? That's ****ed up. Have you read any of her posts? Hilarious!

Ha! I wouldn't say I was exactly "sweet" either...Just ask Hogan! LOL!

[smalltowngrll]

Muah? :angel: :curtsey:

[Atlas]

Oh I was just getting around to you missy!!! I'm the Perv? Yeah right.

I'm the King of the Pervs and all of you are my little Pervetts.

[broncosteven]

I meant it in a good way.

[Jason in LA]

I'm the King of the Pervs and all of you are my little Pervetts.

You're the King of the Pervs? I think we need a vote. That could be a new catogory. ;D

[BroncoBuff]

B-steven, my love of trees in definitely not a "perversion."


It's more of a fetish really.

[BroncoBuff]

And OD ... which girls have already won the EGBIGB award? We should spread it around some. And BTW - why is it just an "honorary" award?

[Atlas]

And OD ... which girls have already won the EGBIGB award? We should spread it around some. And BTW - why is it just an "honorary" award?

It's honorary until they tell us what EGBIGB means.

[smalltowngrll]

It's honorary until they tell us what EGBIGB means.

I bet if you do a search, you'll find several posts that tell you exactly what it means!!

[Blueflame]

So that everyone can see who has already won an award, I copied OD's "And the Winners Are..." post to this thread... the intention was to post it here as #43 of the thread (and thus, answer Buff's question), but because the original post was posted earlier than the OP of this thread, the copied post went to the top of the thread, hence, last year's winners list is now the first post here. (Hope this makes sense LOL)

[BroncoBuff]

Awww, that's too much work! Why can'tcha just tell me? :(

[BroncoBuff]

Okay I finally figured it out.

I nominate stg for EGBIWG ... (Cue green eyes and her one-man boy-toy band ... "Hey, what about me?" :~ohyah!: Ha!)


We should really consider stripping Slap of his Hall-of-Fame spot. He hasn't behaved like a Hall-of-Famer.

I nominate Sassy..... So let's get them in the ring to settle this once and for all!!

[BroncoBuff]

Actually, Sassy deserves nomination too ... they both do a lotta work with the Tailgating. This is nominations only though - both should be nominated, along with gunns and mtnbroncofn. Heydensmom normally would deserve it, but she took a hiatus for a couple months ... next year for her.

Just NOT Tredici.

[CBF1]

Ewey gooyee Bronco something or another

Atlas, you are past pervert.... More like PROvert

[Blueflame]

Certainly any one of the ladies is deserving of the EGIBGB award... :D

[broncosteven]

Certainly any one of the ladies is deserving of the EGIBGB award... :D

Ok since it is too hard for me to compete in men's catagory I would now like to move over to the OM Female poster of year catagoy.

I have blue eyes and blond hair and was hit on (WHILE WITH MY WIFE IN WALGREENS) by a guy in Key West so I think I can qualify.

[Crushaholic]

I think you would have trouble with that award, as well. How about DEATHsicle for the OM Band award? That is, if Old Dude gets around to adding such an award... :dunk:

[broncosteven]

Another blow to my self esteem...

Oh Well, DEATHSicle would love to be honored, would look good in the DEATHSicle Portfolio and help for Grammy consideration.

[Old Dude]

Nominations are now closed, and threads for official voting will be posted later today.

[Requiem]

No draft thread!? :(
