Just a quick observation of the video.

Jay Schrieber in his video describes Rachels work as a whole for the year. The different tracks, different accomplishments for THIS year in making his point for the HOY award.

Joe Drape in his agrument I feel makes the same mistake as most Zenyatta backers do. One of the first things he mentions is her 14 for 14 record, irrelevant to the discussion. Then he mentions how she looks, how her ears flop when she runs, irrelevant. Not once did he mention her accomplishments during the year that would warrant HOY, he sites the BCC and thats it. Then he compares her to champions of old, all of which ran before BC times. I think he does her no favors here by attempting to talk her up.
