    Ok kids it's time once again for our annual NOTY Awards.  This year

    and post the results 1 week from Monday.  Friday, January 21st is the

The 1993 SPROTS NOTY Award ballots have been tallied and the results are in.
Given the vast range of tastes in this conference, and the fact that not every
ballot had a vote for every award, it usually didn't take many votes to take
first place in any given category.  Receiving 3 or more votes can be considered
significant.  The judge did not participate in the voting so there will be no
need for a trial.

ATHLETE OF THE YEAR - Love him or hate him, Michael Jordan walked away with this
award with 5 votes.  He was the only one that received more than 1 vote.
Honorable mention goes to Barry Bonds, That Chinese lady runner, Dennis Byrd,
Cam Neely for his gutsy awesome comeback, and Emmitt Smith.

TEAM OF THE YEAR -  Again, the team Americans have the biggest love-hate
relationship with won in a landslide.  The Dallas Cowgirls had 5 votes and Da
Bulls took second with 2 votes.  Nobody else had more than 1 vote.  Honorable
mention goes to Da Bulls, Phillies, Chinese ladies track team, BU Terriers,
and the Mighty Ducks.

GAME OF THE YEAR - The game of the year was the awesome comeback of the Bills
over the Soilers in last year's NFL playoffs.  It was the only game with more
than 1 vote.  Too bad Doc isn't here to bask in the glory.  The honorable
mentions were:

Browns -vs- Steelers (Metcalf's 2 punt returns for TD's),
NFC Championship - Dallas over San Francisco,
Raiders & Denver II,
Celtics @ Suns (cause I was there),
UNC vs. Michigan,
BC over ND,
The 16-14 World Series game,
Zo hits a jumper as Charlotte Hornets beat Boston Celtics to
                    win first ever playoffs,
Michigan - Kentucky NCAA semis

BEST NFL PLAYER - Emmitt Smith won this hands down with 4 votes.  The honorable
mentions were Jerome Bettis, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Phil Simms,
Joe Montana, Drew Bledsoe, and Deion Sanders.

BEST NBA PLAYER - Again JD's favorite hoopster, Sir Air, walked away with
this award with 6 votes.  Sir Charles Barkley took second with 2.  Honorable
mention for Hakeem Olajuwon.

BEST MLB PLAYER - Jake's most favorite baseball player of all-time left the
competition standing with 6 votes: Barry Bonds.  John Kruk received 2 sympathy
votes and Paul Molitor took third.

BEST NHL PLAYER - Mario Lemieux was the only one with 2 votes.  

"WISH THEY WOULD JUST GO AWAY" AWARD - In a ironic twist, Mr. Jordan also won
this award with 2 votes.  Honorable mention goes to: Bill Belicheck,
Buffalo Bills, Charles Barkley, Cowboys, Don King, Any and all NE Sullivans,
Faux Tar Heel Fans, and the NCAA.

THEY'VE BEEN SUCKED INTO THE TAR PITS (M.I.A Award) - one big tie-fest of sister
kissers: Brad Daughtery - Cavs, Washington Redskins, Eric Dickerson, Mets,
LA Lakers, Denver Broncos, and the Boston Celtics.

"THEY REALLY GOT WORSE" AWARD - the Washington Redskins took this with 2 votes
and gave a whole new meaning to their Foreskins label.  Honorable mention goes
to: Cleveland Browns, Don Majkewski, Red Sox, LA Lakers, Oakland A's, Boston
Celtics, Boston Bruins.  

"THEY GOT SO MUCH BETTER" AWARD - a tie for first between the Charlotte Hornets
and the Philadelphia Phillies.  These received 1 vote: Atlanta Hawks,
Jeff Hostetler, Raiders, NY Giants, BU Terriers, and the NE Patriots.
156.25NOTYFRETZ::HEISERshadowlandsTue Jan 25 1994 16:18109
NOTER OF THE YEAR - The NOTY (pronounced 'naughty') award was an extremely
close race but in the end, only Glenn Waugaman was left standing with his 4
votes.  {queue man is raising the APPLAUSE card} Mr. Tommy Alvin Brydie took
second with 3.  The Ross Perot Honorable mention award goes to Jake the Fake,
'Saw, and /Carnac.

NOTE OF THE YEAR - JD's Farewell note was the only one with more than 1 vote.
It makes one wonder what SPROTSters are trying to say about JD.  Saw's
Christmas POEM, The Cardinals note (all of it), Walt Ashe on ND's fight
song, and Tommy A. B's "...Don King in a headlock..." soccer diatribe only
had 1 vote apiece.

NOTE STRING OF THE YEAR - This string was quite an adventure for all readers.
Gin & Frank Get a Room received 2 votes.  Mattingly's Greatness and The
Cardinals note (all of it) only received 1.

ROOKIE NOTER OF THE YEAR - This was a strange one, but when all background
checks came in, Bill Breen was the winner with 2 votes.  Chappy was disqualified
because he was noting in 1992 and was not a Rookie last year.  Typical cheat
move by a Yankme fan.  Honorable mention goes to Metz Jr. and Chappy Jr. since
we don't want to play favorites.  Ironically, Bill is the oldest RoY since Lee
Timmons won it in 1907.

MOST MISSED NOTER - Somewhat of a contest here, but Mr.T takes the prize with 3
votes.  Ninja took second with 2.  Honorable mention to Bob Hunt, Dinz, and
Ram Nori.

P_NAME OF THE YEAR - Funny how 3 of the top 5 were about the Mets.  The winner
with 3 votes was "Jets and Mets both truly Suck".  Honorable mention to
Mets in '94, Muckin Fets, Carolina Blew, and Gin's "Sit on my face."  It's
simply amazing that with 35 characters or less to work with, the Mets kept
coming up in the competition for ineptness.  What's even funnier is that they
are usually worn by SPROTS' biggest Met fan.

NOTER FROM THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY AWARD - The Self-Help Kings or those in
need of self-help therapy have a single common bond:  unhappiness with
themselves, their surroundings, and constant criticism.  Tommy A. Brydie, this
one's for you with a whopping 2 votes.  TCM, Chappy, and Dinz only had 1 vote.
The funny thing is that the judge personally knew Tommy's father and some of his
brothers.  I never pictured them as dysfunctional and can only contribute
Tommy's decline to something that occurred after he left home.  Tommy, I feel
sorry for ya dude.  I'm going to move back to Clinton and we'll get you
straightened out.

MOST OBNOXIOUS NOTES PERSONALITY - It's sort of ironic that the person that took
2nd in NOTY wins this award instead.  Tommy A. Brydie walks away with this award
with a landslide 3 votes.  ACCrisp, MaB, and MtM had 1 vote apiece.  Is
obnoxiousness really a prerequisite to NOTY?  Can we dethrone Tommy if we
receive a 10 on the Brydie Most Obnoxious Scale?

NICKNAME OF THE YEAR - The Crazy Welcher receives 2 votes.  Jake the Fake and
BoC only received 1 vote.  

FUNNIEST NOTER - Jake the Fake and ACCrisp tied with 2 votes apiece, but the
judge has declared Jake the winner.  See in Jake's case, we laugh with him.  In
Crisp's case, we're all laughing at him, thus he was disqualified.  Kev, Glenn
Waugaman, Kath Petrie, and Walt had 1 vote each.

BIGGEST TROUBLE MAKER - Jake the Set-Hidden King wins in a landslide with 4
votes.  TCM, ACCrisp, and Mike Heiser bow to the master with only 1 vote.  I
tried my best to dethrone him, but Jake's a master.

WORSTED SPELLER - This is the RCASO Memorial Award Part I.  It's appropriate
that it's a current topic as well as utilizing improper grammar.  MaB wins
this in a landslide with 5 votes.

BEST GRAMMER - This is the RCASO Memorial Award Part II and is only appropriate
that the award is spelled wrong.  MaB in another landslide with 4 votes.  Mr.
Tommy "Bookworm" Brydie took second with 2 votes.  So much for reading improving
your communication skills.  Honorable mention goes to 'Saw.

HERVE VILLACHEZ NOTER LOOK-ALIKE AWARD - Kev will be informed by the United
States Olympic Committee that he will be used as necessary equipment in the
new pygmy tossing event in Atlanta this summer.  TCM, REK, and 'Saw took
honorable mention.

MOST INFORMATIVE - The Ninj Memorial Award or SPROTS Information Director goes
to Glenn Waugamain with 5 votes.  Kev and Karen Derry each had 1 vote.  Glenn's
mantle is getting full.

BEST HAIR - Walt Ashe, Jake, and Hal Whitehair were all nominated for the
Dennis Rodman Memorial Hair Award.  Jake was disqualified by the judge since
he was having a bad hair day.  The result is a sister-kissin' tie between Walt
and Hal.

BEST PARTYER - the Porcelain Throne Award was a tie between 'saw and TTom Haas.
Never invite these 2 to the same party unless you're well stocked.  Chappy took
honorable mention.

SHORTEST NOTER - Kev wins this one in a landslide with 3 votes.  Kev hasn't had
much competition since Doc left, but these folks received a vote: Metz, TCM,
TTom Haas, and 'Saw.  Walt has been selected as the official award giver for
when the winners receive their checks in the mail since they can't reach their
mailboxes.  Kev's check from last year is still in his mailbox because no
local award givers were designated.

UGLIEST NOTER - Yoseff wins the Marty Feldman Award with 2 votes.  TTom and Gin
received honorable mention, but then one ballot had this on it:  "We have no
ugly noters!"

BEST BASHER - Mr. Tommy Alvin Brydie adds another trophy to his mantle with 3
votes for this award.  Glenn Waugaman came in second with 2 votes.  Nazz and
Jake had 1 apiece.  Tommy has now won Most Obnoxious and Most Dysfunctional
Family.  Does anyone sense a trend here?  Obviously these are key ingredients to
being Best Basher.

RCASO MOST BASHED AWARD - This is kind of the family dog syndrome, you know the
one thing everyone loves to beat.  ACCrisp won this one in a major landslide
with 7 votes.  Mac the Mod and Mike Heiser each had a vote.
156.26VISUALFRETZ::HEISERshadowlandsTue Jan 25 1994 16:1952
BEST MOVIE - The Fugitive wins with 3 votes.  The Firm took second while
Deep Throat III, Jurrasic Park, and My Cousin Vinny each had a vote.

BEST ACTOR - Robert DeNiro with 2 votes.  Honorable mention goes to Gene
Hackman, T-Rex, Wesley Snipes, Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day Lewis, and Al Pacino.

BEST ACTRESS - Sharon Stone wins with 2 votes.  Honorable mention goes to
Sally Field, Kate Hepburn, Holly Hunter, Kim "I'm Broke" Basinger, 
Julia Roberts, and T-Rex.  Sharon really won for her Nude Twister skills
(remember that left hand red, right foot blue?).

BEST TV SHOW - Seinfeld was the clear winner with 3 votes.  NYPD Blue came in
second with 2 votes.  Honorable mention: Homicide, Mystery Science 3000,
Cheers re-runs, Cops, and Letterman.

BEST TV COMEDY - Seinfeld distances itself from the pack once again with 6
votes.  Cheers took second with 2.  The runnerups:  In Living Color, Coach,
Simpsons.  The judge was surprised that Home Improvement didn't make the cut.

BEST TV ACTOR - This one was a Nother Shame tie-fest since everyone received 1
vote:  Main character from Coach, John Kelley (NYPD Blue), Ted Danson,
Seinfeld, Richard Belzer, Homer Simpson, and Steve Erkle.

BEST TV ACTRESS - this can be confusing but I think these entries describe the
same people: The new tool-time girl and Baywatch Blonde Bimbos.  If I'm not
mistaken, the tool-time girl left Home Improvement to do Baywatch.  I haven't
seen her, but I'm betting she's a blonde as well.  One SPROTSters are trying to
tell TV executives is that you need a well-endowed blonde bimbo to have a
successful TV show.  It appears they may be listening too!

LAMEST TV SHOW - In true Nother Shame fashion, these nominees deserve each
other: Worlds most funniest people, Seaquest, Baywatch, Deep Space 9, Baby Races

TV WHICH ACTUALLY GOT BETTER - Seinfeld grabs another Golden SPROTS award.

TV WHICH ACTUALLY GOT WORSE - again these nominees deserve each other although 2
of them were once hot items: LA Law, Family Matters, Northern Exposure.

BEST MOVIE COMEDY - Mrs. Doubtfire wins with a slim 2 votes.  Runnerups were:
Ground Hog Day, Addams Family Values, and My Cousin Vinny

BEST MODEL - Elle McPhereson wins with 3 votes.  Close behind was Cindy
"My Husband had an affair with a Gerbil" Crawford with 2 votes and Kathy
Ireland finished third.  Judge was surprised Claudia Schiffer didn't make the
nominee list.

UGLIEST TV PERSONALITY - Nominees: Roseanne, Kramer, 'saw, Don King,
Willard Scott, John Madden.  The judge has never seen 'Saw on TV so he was
disqualified.  A great case can be made for the rest.

"WISH THEY WOULD JUST GO AWAY" AWARD - Bill Clinton 2 and Roseanne tied for
first with 2 votes.  'nuff said.
156.27CONSUMPTIONFRETZ::HEISERshadowlandsTue Jan 25 1994 16:1939

              "I'm wearing clean underwear tonight, babe."

    Of course I'm just a rookie and didn't necessarily know better and that
    best pickup line contest caught my eye.
    
    And I'm the one that messed it up since I didn't know a single music 
    artist except Billy Joel whom I detest more than Michael Jordan.
    
    One note.  Gin, around here "Ugliest" is used antonymically as in
    ugliest bartender (contest) and can be considered a compliment.  I can
    prove that since I was 2nd runner up in a softball league Ugliest
    Umpire contest back in '75.

yabbut, Bill the Elder should have been disqualified from ROY honors. Its
like the NHL where players that come in from other countries/leagues need
to be under a certain age to qualify for ROY.

Kukoc may be a rookie. Only the NHL puts an age limit on who is
considered a rookie - at least for ROY honors.
