Re: Pitta = Robbed
F**k the Mackey award!!!!!!!
I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Re: Pitta = Robbed
What a crock. I watched the entire damned show waiting for the TE award presentation. The placekicker had a segement. The damn punters had a segment. The TEs get a ticker on the bottom of the screen? WTF?
What does a guy need to do to win an award? If Pitta played with Florida he'd be a Heisman candidate.
What a year for the non-AQ. First the TCU vs BSU baloney and now this.

Re: Pitta = Robbed
Not only was Pitta robbed with this but college football fans continue to get robbed of the purity of the sport and acknowledging those that excel within the sport.

Re: Pitta = Robbed
Here are the stats without names you tell me who the Mackey Award winner was.
TE-A: 57 cathces, 784 yards, 7 TDs, Long: 35 yds, 1st Team All-America, 1st Team All-Conference. Career Stats: 216 stats, 2,856 yards, 20 TDs, 46 yds. Once, 1st Team All-America, Three times 1st Team All-Conference.
TE-B: 59 catches, 739 yards, 4 TDs, Long: 35 yds, 1st Team All-Conference. Career Stats: 102 catches, 1,271 yards, 11 TDs, Long: 64 yds. Once 1st Team All-Conference.
Clearly based on these stats alone, TE-B "best exemplifies the play, sportsmanship, academics, and community values of NFL Hall of Fame tight end John Mackey" (the stated criteria of the Mackey award). Mackey's career NFL stats were 331 catches, 5,236 yards and 38 TDs. So obviously the player with two more catches, fewer yards and touchdowns and roughly half the career stats of the other players most closely matches the level of production of the Hall of Famer.
Oh, TE-A was Dennis Pitta and TE-B was Aaron Hernandez.

Re: Pitta = Robbed
If a non-BCS player has the best stats in the nation at his position, there's still a 99% chance he gets passed over for aby Major Awards. Just look back historically. Guys like Detmer and Staley are as rare as a unicorn in football history. It makes me sick.

Re: Pitta = Robbed
The sad part is that every year I think "There's no way [Player X] will get screwed this year," and every year they take my faith in humanity and justice and stomp on it.
