USER OF THE YEAR
Winner: @alexg_bears
“I'd like to thank my defense for carrying me along for the ride. This Super Bowl win is merely the first pit stop on Jake Brake's long road trip.”
SEXY REXY AWARD
Winner: Matthew Stafford (24 TD's, 41 INT's)
“Well, my first season with the lions I was happy with Matthew. We were a couple defensive players away from being 5-11 to being maybe 8-8. Well this season I absolutely hated matt with a burning passion. He couldn't lead a pass to save his life and on multiple occasions threw 5 pick games. If it wasn't for such a crazy cap penalty and the fact that there's no one better, he'd be at the unemployment office. Other than that, much love to everyone who voted for me.”
Honorable mention: Eric Mackey
FOLLY OF THE YEAR
Winner: INT, Fumble, Touchdown
