Why do you care so much about awards?
 

I'm fascinated with the obsession over award shows and the heated debates that ensue between people who have absolutely no direct involvement with the nominees.

Why do you people care so much? I pretty much know why...I just want to read your reasoning.

This is a horse racing board. These debates actually draw attention which is good. Just like the crummy BCS. Same concept.

Uh no. The BCS is actually closer in comparison to the Breeders Cup. The Eclipse Awards = The Tony Awards.

The Tonys matter Coach.

cause we are bored and have nothing better to talk about?

Its better than discussing a non winners of 3 lifetime 25k claimers off the turf event at the Big A.

Would there be 3 or 4 horses running ?

I disagree! I love the Big A.

With AEs I'm sure we can squeeze the 16 and 17 into the race

Well do something productive like posting new pics in the Beulah thread.

It's a horse racing board and it relates to horse racing. What else is there to talk about?

I'm sure there are discussions on who is MVP of the year on baseball or basketball boards

Football is my sport and I still don't give a s.hit about awards in the sport. The only thing that matters is winning games. Caring about award shows is for sissies.

I guess you have a point. If your QB wins the MVP and you lose in the first round of the playoffs.. what good is the MVP award for?

I do think Hall of Fame is an important "award" for all sports including horse racing.

But there really isnt anything better to talk about..

Once it hits January we can all start talking about the Derby!

Why do people care so much about people caring so much about awards?

There will be this weekend when they run the Stuyvesant at Aqueduct. Expected to go are Timber Reserve, Honour Devil, Da Tara, Rising Moon, Dry Martini, Formidable, Coal Play and Cool Coal Man.

Why wait till January?

I hope George Strait wins Male Vocalist tomorrow night :tro:

A racing award that is voted upon, instead of presented to the winner of the year end championship race, is silly. And only lends itself to being a political issue.
