Week 5 Awards
The “You Had No Idea How Good I Was At This, Until You Saw Me Do It In Primetime” Award presented by Mitt Romney’s performance in the first Presidential Debate of the 2012 Campaign - Andrew Luck successfully engineering his first fourth quarter comeback which just happened to come against the reigning league MVP.
The “If I Say It Enough Times I Can Get Someone To Believe Me-No Matter How Absurd, Ridiculous And Offbase I Am” presented by everything Skip Bayless has ever said - Sports Illustrated Writer Don Banks comparing Cam Newton’s career path to Vince Young’s after early signs of a “sophomore slump.”
