"The Matty Awards" - Hall of Fame voting

by Matty I on Feb 9, 2010 10:30 PM EST in The Matty's Comment 24 comments

We've now wrapped up all of the voting for the 2nd annual "Matty Awards." But there's still one remaining item to take care of before we unveil the winners. It's time to vote for who gets into the Joe Robbie Memorial Phinsider Hall of Fame.

As corny as this might seem to some, I think this is a very special honor. This great site has become what it is today thanks to the many great members that make up our fine community. These awards - and the Hall of Fame in particular - are just ways to show appreciation and respect to those who spend a lot of their free time with us talking Dolphins football. And what makes everything so special is that they are voted on by all of you. There's no greater honor, in my opinion, than being recognized by your peers. And that is all these awards are - honoring our peers.

So, without further ado, let's talk about the Hall of Fame voting. There are many, many nominees. But only four, at most, will get in. You can vote for up to four nominees. We will induct the three who receive the most votes. We will also induct a fourth member only if that person was voted in by at least 40% of those who cast ballots. If the fourth place finisher doesn't receive at least 40%, then he does not get in.

The poll is below and you can vote for as many as four members. The poll will close on Saturday at 3 pm eastern. And as always, there's is no campaigning anywhere on this site. If you do, you will be removed from the ballot.

Good luck to those who were nominated!

Polls closed.

Lots of worthy candidates. This would be an easy decision for me only if some of these guys

swung by more often than they do. It’s kind of hard to vote for someone for old times sakes. However there’s no denying all 20 of you guys are the heart and soul of the community. Well let this be fun. The Oscar goes to….

Tough call on this.

It took me a while to figure out who all I wanted to vote for. So many well deserving people.

not an easy vote

congrats to all the nominees. Too many awards to keep track of so this is the only award so far that I’ve voted for. Thanks for the insightful and and sometimes crazy posts along the way.

Matty just a quick question

Do the people who do not make it in roll over into next years ballot or do only a few depending on how many votes they receive?

some are guaranteed based on their votes the previous year

others might have had a small amount of votes but get enough nominations.

Only a couple names I don't recognize

Does that mean I stop by too often?
