You! Yes You! Can Kinda-Sorta Influence Who Wins Shiny NFL Trophies (But Mostly Just Laugh at My Jokes)
Ever watch the NFL Honors and think, "Man, I wish I could influence those fancy trophies they hand out?" Well, my friend, buckle up for a joyride that's about as close to voting as participating in an office fantasy football league (and let's be honest, sometimes those are more rigged than a politician's smile).
The Not-So-Secret Society of Award Choosers
Forget the Illuminati, the real decision-makers here are a cool fifty sports journalists and pro football writers. Think of them as the judges at a pie-eating contest, only instead of sugary goodness, they're sifting through stats and highlight reels.
How it ACTUALLY Works (Shh... Don't Tell the Commissioner)
These esteemed wordsmiths gather before the playoffs, because apparently, seeing Patrick Mahomes sling laser beams in the postseason doesn't sway their oh-so-important picks. They use a fancy new system that involves ranking their top choices like they're picking outfits for a week-long Vegas trip (hopefully with better results).
Here's the Fun Part (Where You Come In-ish)
Now, the Super Bowl MVP is a different beast. Here, there's a measly 20% weightage for fan votes during the game. That's right, folks, your frantic phone taps have the persuasive power of a gnat trying to move a football. But hey, at least you can say you participated in a democracy... of sorts.
So, What Can You Do Besides Cheer Like a Maniac?
Honestly, not much. But you can channel your inner sports analyst and argue with your friends about who deserves the awards. You can fire off hilarious (or not-so-hilarious) tweets about the nominees. You can even write a scathing blog post about the entire process (hey, that's what I just did!). The point is, have fun with it!
Remember, the NFL Honors are a night of celebration, a chance to shower the best players with cheesy grins and golden trophies. So crack open a beverage, wear your favorite jersey (because laundry is overrated), and enjoy the show!
P.S. If you see a surge in votes for the punter with the most luscious hair, well, that might just be me. Don't judge.
