6) Consistently best commenter/blogger: Sean. No one else is consistent.
7) Nicest: Haircut

10) Best recurring article: Two Bros.
11) Best article of the year: Mav’s post on Nick Fairley pick
12) Worst post of the year: The idiot Colts fan that posted crap about how the Packers were “lucky”

internet went down in the middle-ish of the year and just got it back today. but i think joshsun will receive the most awards! lol

1) joshsun
2) CLF - been slacking lately, but still runs away with this one
3) Tuff - ok, BHC I don’t like your description of this one. Tuff posts the longest, but your description makes it sound bad, i.e. nonsense. Tuff doesn’t post nonsense.
4) UndaDawg tends to make me giggle
5) delusional
6) Tuff - I’d say Sean, but it’s his award so it seems inappropriate
7) BIG HAIR CUT - you run away with this one in my mind man
8) delusional
9) joshsun - many may disagree and focus on the arguments, but josh is always around and always has different view. love him or hate him, he’s my MVP
10) On Paper
11) BHC with the PoD bar
12) I know this is the PoD awards, but this article on APC is by far the worst thing I have ever read in my entire life. However, limited to just PoD I would say any article by VIGuy 007.
13) YpsilantiJeff – “Be not embarrassed, merely turn inward and ponder for a moment the wonderfulness that is you and roll with it, rock star”
14) here’s a write in category – Most underrated – kwfords – he can be hard to read so alot of folks skip him, but if you take the time, he’s got some great insight. Keep it up kwfords

12. Every post relating to trading Calvin
13. way too many to remember, no idea

But I would like to thank, Sean, simscity. Latif, and Mavryk for their insightful articles and Jerry and the two Bro’s for the Podcasts. I enjoyed the best of the gameday threads postings by little long hair or whatever that posters name was.

I also would like to thank all of you who helped to replenish The Cigar Fund afer Paul Pratt embezzeled last years proceeds. Thanks for a fun year POD family.

I am so looking forward to seeing what Mayhew does prior to draft.

11 Thanks to Forty Handz: http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2011/4/8/2098798/get-to-know-your-fellow-poders-visually
12 Don’t wanna comment on this – everyone’s contributions are worthwhile, regardless of their efficacy.
13 I have no clue

1) Most likely to get in an argument: Joshsun
2) Most likely to post a picture: There were alot of good ones this year… but I’m going with Sean as whenever he’s ‘forced’ to get one out… he nails it perfectly… and do to the creativity of the face palm.
3) Most long-winded: Tuff
4) Most funny: Nate
5) Debbie Downer: Josh
6) Consistently best commenter/blogger: Sean Yuille
7) Nicest: Drewslions
8) Not so nicest: Josh
9) POD MVP: North and Profiler… both seem to keep the place ‘level headed’
10) Best recurring article: On Paper… even though I don’t totally understand it… it is consistent and usually pretty good at predicting the outcome of the game.
11) Best article of the year: Lack of memory
12) Worst post of the year: anything that had to do with trading Suh, Stafford, or CJ.
13) Best comment of the year: I’m gonna put the POD Bar in this category.

If no one will renegotiate, we will have to make a trade! I am hopeful we can get deals done, and there’s so much talent I wouldn’t know who to franchise?
big ups to the POD, mvp mr SY

I will ensure to pay more attention but I do know from all of the reading I do on here that joshsun should take the argument award (no offense josh)!!!

I think you are all MVP’s of different catagories. Its a team game right? What I love about this site is all of the different thoughts and opinions. Its funny that we all have the same fav team but we all look at different things within the games and the sport itself. I know that one of my favs is the on paper feature that I think is Latif’s. I absolutly love that piece and one of the others I like is the 5 questions with the other blog. Just nice to get some info on whats going on with their team before we kick their ass!

Akeem ayers

1) Northleft12 or Joshun….it’s a toss-up for me.

2) CLF

3) I have gotten better this year in this category, so I have to vote for E-Smurf. Not for illogical, nonsensical posts, but for sheer length alone.

4) Profiler

5) There are too many to list, and most of them are newer members.

6) Best blogger is Sean Yuille, hands down. Commenter is a different story, and not a category that would be easy to vote on.

7) He hasn’t been here in awhile, but Hyperion Ecta is my vote.

8) Again, there are many assholes here…no point in naming names.

9) Sean Yuille

10) To be honest, I wasn’t overly impressed with any of the recurring articles this year. On Paper was the best of them though.

11) Too many to choose from…it would actually kill brain cells to attempt to narrow it down to one.

12) Any of the trade a superstar posts.

13) If this category was “best post” I would say POD Bar…however it says “BEST COMMENT”. As such, once again it is a ridiculous task to remember every comment and weigh which one was the best. None of them are locked in my memory enough for me to be able to just recall and spit it out here.

1- No doubt about it – Joshun
2- CLF for sure
3- Not really sure on this one
4- Nate D or Lionsgal
5- Again a no doubter (in this case) – Joshun
6- The Writers (Sean, Sims, Mav, and BHC) for this one
7- Way too many people are nice here, so I’ll pass on this one
8- Same as above, though I have a couple of ideas, akadwriter is one of the nominees I think
9- Sean is the MVP. He does so much for the site
10- Though I didn’t read some of them, the Two Brothers posts were always decent, as well as the Slo-Mo Highlights and the ‘On Paper’ posts. All were decent, so I thought I’d toss mentions to each of them
11- I think without a doubt the 2nd half open thread of the Vikings game in Detroit, and how many different names we could come up with for Mr Webb.
12- Anyone who said ‘same ole Lions’ in gamethreads (you know who you are!)
13-No idea

#Fuck Mark Sanchize

The 2nd inaugural?!??!?

The best recurring article is easy though. I don’t always read long articles, but when I do, it’s probably On Paper. Great statistical post to show the Lions yardage trends and how they match up against the opponent.

We’re getting some decent battles

The one, and only,…..Nate D

1. Delusional
2. CLF
3. Tuff (I love reading every word though)
4. Leonuro (This was a runaway, but honorable mention goes to Wayne Fontes and ATL Lion)
5. ?
6. Tuff.
7. Bighaircut
8. Delusional
9. Joshsun (This was a tough one. I chose Josh because he often has differing opinions on things which keeps discussions interesting. Also, he always has well thought out and well argued posts. Honorable mention to Profiler, Tuff, Latif, and even though he doesn’t really come around anymore, Lawrence Jackson)
10. Two Bros (does that count as a recurring “article” If not, On paper)
11. POD Bar (even though I wasn’t in it. I guess I was still waiting in line outside- Leo told me I was on the guest list and not to worry about it, but when I got there, I wasn’t on the list. Also, the bouncer said I was short.)
12. “The eat my ass” post I think it was called. It was taken down as soon as Sean saw it, which was like an hour later, and I forgot who wrote it, but I’m pretty sure that person had about 600 shots of Jager before making the post. Hopefully they blacked the whole thing out. Unfortunately, I did not.
13. Michael21’s post describing the video of him and Halle Berry- “Id send it to but its about 3 seconds long and consists of me disappointing her in every way possible” (lol. Awesome, Michael21!)
14. kwfords

Maybe next year we should do this as a series of polls.

I’m going with most likely to get in an argument Joshsun or myself possibly.

and MVP Sean of course

and opt out on the rest.

I’ll keep it open for the rest of today, but that’s it. Then I’ll tally the votes up and post the winners,

Looks like everyone who wanted to vote has already, so I’ll tally up these and make an awards post either tomorrow or wednesday.
