We made our move into the world of television the other morning via STV-9. For those of you who saw us, we apologize for the fact that we are not as cool as you may have previously believed. In fact, we looked “uncool.”

But because we have been on the telly for a mere 10 minutes, we think we have what it takes to make judgments on who should receive awards.

We would like to give out our own Oscar (least or most likely) awards to people somehow doing something in the sports arena, which includes everyone in the newsroom because they talk to us, the sports editors.
