After a second hiatus the Phinsider Awards return yet again, in epic fashion. Okay, it’s not really all that epic but whatever, they are back. I was supposed to set these up for last year instead of taking another year off but life got in the way and a whole slew of things that I could not control and could have done without happened and by the time I had sort of righted my ship the preseason was in full swing.
For those of you that have never heard of any awards around here (not withstanding the odd nick names Alpha “awards” everyone) we, for a few years ran the “Matty Awards”, named after the founder of the site. The Matty’s ran from 2009 to 2010 before taking 2011 off and then returning again in 2012. We then again took a few years off and when the awards finally returned in 2016 they were renamed “The Phinsider Awards”.
As in previous years I will consider dropping and or adding or changing in some way, various awards. These awards are about you, the site members. You are the reason that Kevin and the rest of us do what we do. We are here to entertain and inform, hopefully in a way that will make us stand out from the others. As these awards are about you I want you to tell me what you would like to see dropped or added or changed. As you will see, some of the names of the awards clearly need a makeover. We, here at the site, always appreciate any input from the site members and we constantly strive to add to the site and improve the site.
Below you will find a complete list of all of the awards and previous winners (or inductees for the Phinsider HOF). Feel free to add your suggestions as to what changes you would like to see in the comment section below or as always, email me directly. You can find the direct contact information for most of our authors on the site in the Masthead located at the bottom of the front page.
