Sports and awards go hand-in-hand.
It would be hard to forget your first green ribbon for "participation" at your first kindergarten track meet, the first time mom and dad cleared space on the mantle for your third place taekwondo trophy, or standing their as your high school A.D. puts your all-conference honor into the trophy case.
Awards always recognize personal achievement as part of a greater goal. In individual sports, awards mark progress made in pursuit of greatness.
For team sports, awards recognize the success of phenomenal athletes who stood out because (or in spite) of their teammates.
So, as CBS rolls out their official NFL midseason awards, Aron Glatzer has asked me to step onto the red carpet and do a list of my own. Make sure you stay tuned to the end for some "not so flattering" awards.
