  • The TAFNIES!

    Announcing the First Annual TAFNY Awards! The TAFNIES recognize the greatest achievements in T&FN Message Board postings. Sure the athletes train all year for a moment in the limelight, but do they have the persistence, dedication, and sheer lunacy of T&FN Board posters? We are the few, the proud, the looking over our shoulder to see if the boss/teacher/parent/spouse is about to bust us for goofing off. To start us off I offer the more obvious categories and nominees, but feel free to create your own!

    Best trivia – hjsteve

    Obviously has no life – me

    Most self-absorbed – sprinterman, The Root

    Most random – curt, food guy

    Most obnoxious – PAULIE

    Proof that most posters are distance wannabes – 100+ post threads on Webb (3!), Gabe, 6:00 milers, 800 on up in the US

    Most vitriolic thread – Drummond aftermath

    Most pseudo-scientific thread – Reaction Times

    Saddest development – need for a separate thread for drugs

    Funniest thread – Jon Gill

    Most persistent in the face of adversity – Michael Roth

    Best prognosticator – Don Lilot – pro divison; David Donley – semi-pro; jon - amateur

    Most knowledgeable over wide spectrum – MJD

    Best Thread – 3:49.80

    Best Post – Jim Spivey (in above)

        This is a pretty specific category, but:

          I'm sure gh will be awarding all recipients with a free eTN subscription for anyone who sends in a 10-year renewal to T&FN. ;-)

            I'd like to thank all those who hate the walks for providing me with the anger with which to spill my vitriol, Malmo for showing me how to massacre someone online, GH for spitting pretzels in my face at Bill Roe's party and Stuart Scott for making me hate the site of SportsCenter and the sound of Booyah!

              I too accept this esteemed award with all appropriate humility, thank you ! I promise to periodically bore the world some more in 2004.

                  Re: The TAFNIES!

                  LOL. Next year, we'll have to add a rookie of the year. As far as no life goes, I'd say the webmiester would be in the best postion to determine that with a post count. Someone actually did that on darkwing once. As far as my nomination, I'm stunned at the specific knowledge on this board especially on the historical side. Mine might be a mile wide but it is only an inch deep and as exhibit 1-my 4th last place in the regionals prediction contest. Someone told me that was difficult to do even if you are trying.

                    I sincerely hope he doesn't. Between 'tafnut', 'tn', and my attempts at clever pseudonyms, my participation would only lend credence to my wife's claim that I have plenty of free time to fix that clogged rain gutter that's been sitting there since last winter.

                        Finally I have at this late stage in my career a goal, the pursuit of which to apply myself.
