Midpoint Awards

Since our fly scribe DeJuan has the patience of JR Radcliffe in a brownie store when it comes to publishing, I'm stretching for material. It's the exact halfway point of the season, so here's our awards so far, just me voting:

VUFSA MVP: Peyton Manning

-Naj Davenport's Poop has had average performances from two keeper RBs and until last week, his keeper WR. Manning demonstrated last week why he is the VUFSA's most consistent and most deadly player.

Apologies to: Donovan McNabb, Torry Holt

Biggest Suprise: Rex Grossman

-A QB who we saw next to nothing of in real games and who couldn't stay healthy was tearing up the league until his latest game. He'll get a chance to shine on The Nihilist Marmot after being buried at #3 on the Slumpbusters' depth chart.

Apologies to: Michael Vick, Frank Gore, Marques Colston

Biggest Disappointment: Edgerrin James

-He's not totally at fault for Tice's Partyboat's sinking, but he's performing so far below what we had come to expect it's just awful.

Apologies to: Daunte Culpepper, LaMont Jordan, Terrell Owens

Most Devastating Injury: Shaun Alexander

-Alexander should be back relatively soon, which may take him out of this category by season's end, but the damage to Cellar Dwellers' season may already be done.

Apologies to: Domanick Davis, Larry Fitzgerald

Best Pickup: Marques Colston

-Out of nowhere with bullshit eligibilty at TE, the rookie has been the top scoring player at his position, and that's not just something that you expect to get from a wire pickup.

Apologies to: Leon Washington, Bernard Berrian, Maurice Jones-Drew

GM of the Year: Brent Whitlock

-Gutsy decision to hang onto Frank Gore in the offseason, and saavy drafting (Maroney, Addai, Lee Evans) has taken ChamPeons to the top half of the standings all year long. The acqusitions of Andre Johnson, Terrell Owens and Gore late last year contribute to the nod.

Apologies to: Everyone else. There hasn't been enough activity to really single anyone else out.
