MJD thinks the NFL should "recognize guys who were once thought of as scrubs… and emerged from obscurity to have a fantastic year." He calls it the "Who's This Fellow? award." The WTF for short. Shaun Hill and Lance Moore are on the list. We won't give away who won, but he holds every Coastal Carolina QB record in existence.

Via College Football Talk comes an interesting exchange between Tim Tebow and Mel Kiper. Tebow, who Kiper doesn't think will succeed in the NFL, asked Kiper what he needs to be successful pro quarterback. Kiper hemmed and hawed and didn't give the real answer: His delivery is slow and he isn't that accurate on the crossing patterns and out-routes that NFL QB's must be able to throw.

Deadspin has a fascinating story on the Erin Andrews sex tape hoax. That's HOAX. The moral of the story is don't get twisted tech-savvy interbet pranksters mad at you. While you're at Deadspin, don't forget to vote in Sports Human of the Year. This round is Buzz Bissinger vs. Mark Cuban. You just know Buzz, famously defaming Will Leitch, will get the nod.
