Good morning. After much anticipation, it is time to announce the winners of the inaugural awarding of The Don Howard Awards. All winners were selected by Don Howard. Here now the winners of The Don Howard Awards:

* BEST OVERBLOWN RUMOR: The ultra-revamping of The Price Is Right following the dismissal of Roger Dobkowitz.

* THE JANE NELSON AWARD FOR HOTTEST HOSTESS: Mikki Padilla of Catch 21, who in three days has been responsible for five wet dreams.

* BEST COMEBACK: Million Dollar Password. I really wanted to give this to Temptation, but it wasn't so it lost.

* THE LEE BOWMAN AWARD FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT IN HOSTING: Todd Russell of Wheel Of Fortune. I maintain that It's Time To Honor Todd!

* THE SRIV AWARD: To the Chicago Cubs. 100 wins? Maybe. First World Series win in 100 years? Maybe.

* THE ODIN AWARD FOR OMNIPOTENCE: Why, to Matt Ottinger, of course.

* MOST UNDERRATED PERSONALITY: ESPN's Bob Ley. Has been there since the very beginning and still doesn't feel the need to shout or pump himself up as the world's personal piece of showtime.

* THE HARMON R. WHITTLE AWARD: Outgoing Miss Budweiser Cleveland Grand Prix Melanie Soster, the prettiest student at any college or university anyplace.

These have been The Don Howard Awards. This is Don Howard speaking.

1- Rumor has it the changes are going to be implemented slowly. One can only hope that the Fremantle execs actually WATCH the show in action before making changes. If any.

2. And Six.

Of course it does, considering that the people who announced the original rumor currently look like ninnies when it didn't come to pass. At all.

The above is the equivalent of "I meant to do that!"

Milwaukee-Shmilwaukee. This is the Angels' year.

ObGameShow: Former Baffle host Dick Enberg was a broadcaster for the Angels for a while.

Have you seen CC Sabathia since he went to Milwaukee? He's back to his Cy Young Award-winning form from last year. (Alternate answer to "Have you seen CC Sabathia?": You haven't? People on the International Space Station can see him. For those playing along at home who don't get it, Sabathia is a mountain of a man, around 6'8" and weighing in anywhere from 290 to 320 lbs.)

Yes, dammit, I have. And we both knew this would happen once he bolted The Mighty Tribe, didn't we?
In a separate non-internetted ceremony, CC won The Don Howard Award in the category of The Duane Kuiper Awesome Player After Leaving The Indians.

As usual, The Onion has the best C.C. Sabathia coverage.

This guy doesn't approve of either of you, and owns your souls.

Great job with the awards, BTW Don.

Who needs CC when you have Cliff Lee?...Seriiously, I'm pulling for Lee to win 20, if the Tribe doesnt do any more fire sales before the end of the year..and This LaPorta looks like the real deal..

Well, with CC and Prince Fielder, the Brewers have the best team, pound for pound, in baseball.

(Besides, they balance out the plane so it doesn't list to one side.)

Big series this weeks, Cubs vs. Brewers. Dare I say crucial? It might even knock Brett Favre back to the sports pages (from the front, that is).

/what election? what war? what TPIR changes?

tpirfan28 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2008, 08:31:21 AM »

If the Cubs would give Rich Harden a) run support and b) a decent bullpen on the days he pitches, he'd match CC pitch-for-pitch so far.

Oh, and Kerry Wood is on the DL. Again.

As am I. He goes for his 14th tonight on his way to The Dan McDade Jackpot of sixteen.
Getting this somewhat on game show topic so this thread doesn't get locked, Dan defeated sixteen opponents on Tic Tac Dough, losing to a very annoying woman who played her next game against an equally annoying man. She later lost.
