Hard
Hat Award (Game #6, @ Atlanta)
No one is the winner of the weekly Hard Hat Award,
given to the Stiller player who best embodies the iron-tough, hard-as-steel
attitude of the steel workers inside the blast furnace of a still mill.
In a game in which the Stillers were up 17-7 and in complete
command of the game, the entire team went into a pathetic funk, committing
dumbassed mistake after dumbassed mistake.�
And it wasn't just one phase of the game (ie, spec teams) or just a few
players.� It was all phases and all
players.� Fumbles.� Dropped passes.� Dumbassed penalties.�
Softee play.� Shoddy
tackling.� Piss poor technique.� Weak intensity.� Horrific lack of focus.� Stupid-assed
celebration after score.� A flaccid
defense that didn't make one stop in clutch time.� And on and on.�
Overall, you typically get beaten when you have nobody that
even remotely emulates the standards of the Hard Hat Award.� Typically, no Hard Hat style of play means
no "W" in the win-loss column.�
Kudos to nobody for winning the Hard Hat Award.� Don�t wear the Hard Hat proudly,
gentlemen.��
