The writers of SB sites had decided they would do a weekly/montly roundtable/slash type deal. A few have happened, but not many.
It was put out to the writers to pick awards for a number of categories. For my part a lot of what I voted for did not end up winning.

NFL MVP: Peyton Manning, QB Colts Offensive Player: Peyton Manning, QB Colts Defensive Player: Champ Bailey, CB Broncos Coach: Sean Payton, Saints Rookie: Marques Colston, WR Saints
The Duds:
Worst Player: Ben Roethlisberger, QB Steelers (Edgerrin James, RB Cardinals, pulled in a very close second) Worst Coach: Tie between Dennis Green (Arizona Cardinals) and Nick Saban (Miami Dolphins) Worst Rookie: Reggie Bush, RB Saints. Somewhere, Stewart Scott at ESPN is crying.
Some funny nuggets from the SB Nation writers as they turned in their ballots: From WCG:
Biggest Thrill that they are so Bad: Redskins, so much money, so little wins.
I?m sure Skin Patrol appreciates that. From saint:
Worst Coach: Saban? With a shout out to Tom Walsh!!!
Walsh is the offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders, the team saint blogs for. Oakland was shut out again on Monday Night Football this week. As you can see, saint is a little upset. Though not a category, the best write-in stuff game from Gonzo at Daily Norseman:
Best Defensive Player: I?m going to throw in a write-in for Pat Williams here. Yes, he?s awesome. Yes, I?m a homer. No, I don?t care.
Worst Player: Another write-in vote for a guy from my team? Troy Williamson? kid couldn?t catch gonorrhea in a Vietnamese whorehouse.
Worst Rookie: Reggie Bush? and I wasted a second-round fantasy pick on the guy.
That concludes the 2006 Mid-Season awards. We?ll do a 2006 Season Awards when the regular season concludes.
