What a truly beautiful effort @macmaroon, and I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to remind us all what a wonderful and eclectic bunch we have here. Things are gonna get really exciting around here and you’ve totally raised the roof on this last game of the season.

Add my voice to those who lament that you were too humble to grant yourself accolades for your tireless GDT organizing.

Although I gotta be honest, you kinda dropped the ball a bit:

You gave out a rookie of the year award to a poster literally named “@Cotton Eye Joe” without asking him “where did you come from?”

Your mission (obviously you've chosen to accept it) is a ton of work.

As a salmon-mongering Tocchet takes delight
To watch his recalcitrant charges blunder - forsooth,
So I, take in the Caluck’s game - onerous blight,
And my comfort quaffing ale by my televized booth.
For whether JT Miller, Demko or other surly git,
Wish to play with the Jets - they but slatterns and bores,
While mired in a cold funk these overpaid idiots sit,
I craft my verse anticipating the upcoming score:
Helly may well bring a win - not lame, nor under false guise,
Whilst that the Nucks Pucks doth no substance give
That I in our 4th line abundance am sufficed
And by a part of all thy Jets’ glory live.
What is best? Step up now bucket’d greasy KFC,
Too so with a couple of pounded markers from mighty Vilardi.

Aw, here I was hoping for a "Naps like Mac" award. No word of a lie, last night I was thinking I hope I don't fall asleep during the game but then realized I have tickets to the game. Now I really hope I don't fall asleep during the game, lest I end up on the "snooze cam".

I propose Coelacanth poster of the year award for @macmaroon for his incredible dedication, humor and consistency in preparing the lion's share of the GDTs this year. What would we do without you?

GJG.

What indeed? :) Happy to chuck in a big blustering coelacanth to brighten up the joint a little.
