Now Accepting Nominations For The Deadspy Awards, Our Anti-ESPYs
If ESPN can spend the worst sports week of the year staging a monstrously wasteful and self-indulgent awards ceremony, we at Deadspin figured ... hey, why not us, too? Introducing the Deadspy Awards, our suitably half-assed anti-ESPYs. For every meaningless ESPY, there will be a corresponding anti-ESPY. A Golden Razzberry Award of sports, as it were.
That's where you come in. We'd like to solicit your ideas for categories (and nominees!) for the First (And Presumably Last) Annual Deadspys. Hosted by Bryan Cranston! (NOTE: Bryan Cranston not confirmed!) Post your nominees down in the discussion section and we'll whip up a vote next week. Winners receive a bag of whatever is on Craggs's desk! I think there's a galley of an unpublished Mark May book around somewhere. Some suggested categories for you:
WORST TWEET
WORST COACH
BEST TWEET TO POTENTIAL SEXUAL PARTNER
BEST TWEET TO POTENTIAL SEXUAL PARTNER, NON-J.R. SMITH DIVISION
WORST PLAYER
DUMBEST THING SAID BY COLIN COWHERD
BEST WRITERING AWARD
WORST GAME
So go suggest some categories and nominees of your own! The Deadspys await you.
