Hello everyone. With us only having two weeks before the new year, it's time for the Sports Stadium to have it's year end awards. This week will be the nomination period, followed by the polls a week after. Try to only consider the period from December 2012 to now. Here's the categories I thought of.
Athlete of the Year – Composing of athletes from all over the world. From US to UK to China to Australia, anybody's fair game. Can be an athlete from a team sport or an individual.
Team of the Year – Pretty straightforward. What team was the best team of 2013? Again, this is worldwide.
Game of the Year – What one individual game was the best?
Record of the Year – What record made this year (team or individual) was the most outstanding?
Moment of the Year – Similar to Game of the Year, but this is just an individual moment. Likely to see some overlap between the two.
The WTF Storyline of the Year – Yes sports, like wrestling, have their fair share of odd/fascinating storylines. Which storyline this year made you just say what... the... fuck?
I'm open to other suggestions, but I feel six is probably more than enough. For now I'll probably put anything on the polls that gets nominated, but if there comes to be too many then I'll maybe cut some down. As for some of my suggestions:
Athlete: Lebron James
Mike Trout
Miguel Cabrera
Clayton Kershaw
Adrian Peterson
Jameis Winston
Team of the Year: Miami Heat
Boston Red Sox
Louisville Cardinals Men's Basketball
Alabama Crimson Tide Football
Game of the Year: Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs – NBA Finals Game 6
Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers – Super Bowl XLVII
Michigan vs. Kansas – NCAA Tournament Sweet 16
Alabama vs. Auburn – November 30, 2013
Record of the Year: Calvin Johnson single season receiving yards record.
*Definitely would like more in this category*
Moment of the Year: Ray Allen's 3 pointer – NBA Finals Game 6
Chris Davis' Walk-off FG Return TD – Alabama vs. Auburn
Obstruction call ends Game 3 of World Series
Florida Gulf Coast Makes the Sweet 16 as a 15 seed
Wichita State makes the Final Four as a 9 seed
Joe Flacco hits a Hail Mary to go to OT – Baltimore vs. Denver Divisional Round Game
The WTF Storyline of the Year: The Richie Incognito saga
The Mike Shanahan/Dan Snyder/RG3 saga
The lights go out at the Super Bowl
Dwight Howard's Free Agency
Kevin Ware's Gruesome Injury
Feel free to make any more nominations that you feel fit.
