I really like ESPN's idea of having a yearly sports awards show, although I do not agree with many of their nominations and how they value New York and Boston teams like its their home town and completely ignore Chicago accomplishments. (How was Jonathan Toews not a candidate for NHL player of the year?) I liked the show last night, Seth Meyers was very funny. I just wish the Blackhawks had more than one nomination and the Saints had less than six. Oh well, here is who I voted for in some of my favorite categories.
