In sports, the award is the blue ribbon, the gold medal, the championship trophy and banner — not an introduction at an expensive dinner. I’ve always thought the ESPYs to be a silly event, just an excuse to fill TV time and show highlights. That is even more the case with the award for courage to Bruce Jenner. This just provides RG Media Company with space filler and an excuse to sell ads. It's essentially giving awards to people based on them having already won awards.

It seems as if this local event will venture into the silliness. Sustainable event of the year? And I have a feeling the Mohawk Indian won’t be the mascot of the year, although I can’t imagine who the mascot of the year would be.
