Hab auf NFL.com diesen Bericht
http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/09000d5d826072bb/nfl-golden-globes?module=HP11_content_stream#photo=1 über die NFL Golden Globes glesen. Ich weiss nicht genau ob das schon die offiziellen Honors sind, da die ja mMn erst in 1-2 Wochen vergeben werden, aber dennoch:
4 mal sind die Niners vertreten...
Best Kicker: David AkersAkers had the worst game of his career at the worst possible time last year with the Eagles, struggling against the Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. But Akers is the ultimate redemption story in the NFL, being a key part of the 49ers' resurgence.
Coach of the Year: Jim HarbaughHarbaugh molded the 49ers into one of the toughest teams in the NFL. This isn't a finesse team like the great 49ers teams of the past; this is a black-and-blue bruising squad that dominated not only the NFC West, but most of the NFC to earn the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
Lynn Dickey Award for Best Season by a Bad Quarterback: Alex SmithSmith was more than a game manager during the 49ers' 13-3 season. Smith passed for 3,144 yards, along with 17 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Game of the Year: Saints vs. 49ers, NFC Divisional PlayoffsWe already had a winner picked out, but even those teams would concede the match between the 49ers and Saints in the playoffs was one of the better games in recent memory and deserves to take this honor.
Und welche Awards ich noch sehr schön fand:
George Blanda Lifetime Achievement Award: Takeo SpikesSpikes has never made the playoffs during his distinguished career, and that dubious distinction carried through this year, as the Chargers failed to meet expectations again. But that didn't stop us from acknowledging Spikes for his outstanding career.
The Buddy Ryan Poor Sportsmanship Award: Jim SchwartzYou can't blame Suh, though, when he gets that kind of example from his own coach. Schwartz made a fool of himself by chasing after Jim Harbaugh after the Lions fell to the 49ers.
