Re: The Heisman

I reply to my Heisman article found here, I have an article from espn.com about Suh being named AP Player of the year.  Where do these opinions come from and why are they so varied?  Everyone gets a vote and everyone thinks differently?  Let's start to get some real consensus.  It's like the BCS but with awards.

Fox v CNN

On my bookmarks toolbar, I have FoxNews and CNN right next to each other.  They are in between facebook and weather.com.  I like to compare the headlines.  Each site has their own agenda and from time to time, it becomes extremely obvious.  Here are the two right now...

The article about spending is spun very differently for each agenda and the recession article is a bit pessimistic.

The Heisman

I was reading this article on espn.com about the greatness of the Heisman trophy.  The article talks about how there is only one Heisman given out each year.  There are many Academy Awards, many Grammy's, and so on.  There is only one Heisman.  It is given annually to the best college football player.  Last year the winner was Sam Bradford.  He was an obvious pick.  Past winners from this decade are Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Carson Palmer, Jason White, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Troy Smith, Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford.  Here is the problem I have with the award.  This might just be the nature of the award and hence, can never be changed.  But fight on, I will.  Out of the players who have gone into the NFL, (Weinke, Crouch, Palmer, White, Leinart, Bush, and Smith) only 2 have had success.  Why is that?  The 2 of those 7 that have done anything are Palmer and Bush.  The Heisman voters have this obsession with giving the award to a quarterback.  Only 1, Bush, is not.  There is no rule that says it must go to a quarterback.  Let's start giving the award to the actual best player in the game, not the one who is popular and gets the credit.  For this year, my vote is going to Ndamukong Suh.  This guy will be a force in the NFL.  I know it is hard to predict but I think it's much easier to say that Suh will dominate in the NFL than it is to say Colt McCoy will dominate in the NFL.  He is the best player and has the brightest future.  Give it to Suh.

Rose Bowl Ad

Just saw a Rose Bowl ad describing the game as "all eyes will be on Pasadena" and "the grand daddy of them all."  Let's see here....no and no.
