Quote of the Year

It's that time of year again, where we get 'best of the year' lists and whatever from every website, magazine, and news program out there, so let's jump on that bandwagon and get to it. Up next, we have Movie of the Year.

Ah yes, the one award based on posts that actually happened on our blog. Quote of the Year is chosen from our many 'Quote of the Week' posts. Pembry did an admirable job this year with his submission, we had Lebron putting his foot in his mouth, and some terrific pop culture references. But alas, we go all the way back to January 24th for our winner...

“Cutler appeared genuinely hurt when asked about the comments, saying: ‘No comment on that.’ He then turned his back to reporters, fiddled with some things on a shelf and bit his lip as tears welled.”

~Jim Trotter

Poor Cut. Last year it was the playoff embarassment of being a vagina when his team needed him the most. And this year? Oh, well he managed to hurt himself even earlier, preventing his team from even sniffing the postseason. You know, between being a giant gash on the field and dating Laguna Beach's Queen of Mean off of it, I'm guessing Cut cries all the time. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and blame his interceptions on the blurred vision his tears cause. That poor, poor bastard.

Movie of the Year

It's that time of year again, where we get 'best of the year' lists and whatever from every website, magazine, and news program out there, so let's jump on that bandwagon and get to it. Up next, we have Movie of the Year.

Sadly, there is no Batman movie this year and I have been told I am not allowed to give this award to a movie preview that came out only days ago. Also, we are not a website that cares to give awards to hoity-toity art movies just to make ourselves look cultured. No, this is about what movie entertained us the most.

There were plenty of candidates. The last of the Harry Potters came out and we probably could have Return of the King'd it with a 'career achievement' nod. The comedies were spectacularly bad, so they're out. Thor and Captain America were entertaining, but not quite worthy. And the franchise sequels (and prequel, fuck you X-Men: First Class) were flat-out bad.

So, your winner is...

Yep, Super 8. It had everything you could ask for from a summer blockbuster: huge effects, great cast, a warmth at the center of a horrifyingly enjoyable plot, and the dibsiest leading lady of the year.

Athlete of the Year

It's that time of year again, where we get 'best of the year' lists and whatever from every website, magazine, and news program out there, so let's jump on that bandwagon and get to it. Up next, we have Athlete of the year.

Now it's been a big year for sports. We had Dirk crushing the Heat's Big 3. Sir Aaron Rodgers taking down the vaunted Steelers' D to start the year and is undefeated and dominating as it closes. Baseball happened. And of course, we have Tebow, who Tebows better than any non-Tebow ever could. And we haven't even touched on Andrew Luck, the absence of Peyton Manning, Jerry Sandusky's water sports domination, or Alex Morgan's coming out party that was the Womens' World Cup. With so many achievements to note, who could possibly win this award?

This chick. Go volleyball! Whee!

It's that time of year again, where we get 'best of the year' lists and whatever from every website, magazine, and news program out there, so let's jump on that bandwagon and get to it. Up first, song of the year*, which was a real tough choice this year.

My Morning Jacket - Wonderful
Bon Iver - Holocene

*Brought does not listen to rap music, therefore has never heard of whatever Jimbo is going to claim was better
