It's that time of year, ladies and gents. I know how folks love then I tell people to "Sitchoazz Down". This time, I'm doing a season edition. There have been some owners, players and coaches who have been naughty in the 2009 NFL season, and simply need to be told to sit down. So I came up with an awards blog, to call them out.

I asked for participation amongst friends, family and of course Twitter and received an overwhelming response. Thanks to all who participated in my survey, you were extremely helpful.

For the owner and coach, the choice was pretty unanimous. It was the player that I received the most different answers for. What awards show is an awards show without theme music. Well, since all of these guys are losers, anyway, I think this music is quite fitting:



So without further ado, let's hand out the awards.

The Sitchoazz Down Winner for an owner IS.........................



By a landslide, Daniel Snyder.


Everyone knows this is the right choice. Since Danny Boy took over the Washington Redskins in 1999, he's done nothing but water down the organization. The last 10 seasons, the Redskins have a dismal record of 70-90, 6 head coaching changes, 2 playoff appearances, 0 division titles and one bad deal after another. We all remember when Deion Sanders came to town but there weren't many "Prime Time" moments during his tenure . But the most recent debacle, is signing "Fat Albert" Haynesworth to a record $100 million deal. While Haynesworth isn't a bust, he definitely hasn't held up his end of the bargain so far, given the huge contract he's received.

Snyder loves to trade away quality draft picks for players that he usually overpays for. He's neglected important positions such as his offensive line, and even had signs and t-shirts that said anything bad about him or the team, banned from the stadium. Did I miss anything?!


Honorable Mentions:

Al Davis, Oakland Raiders-

JaMarcus Russell and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Nuff said


Bud Adams, Tennessee Titans-

For flipping the bird at fans at the Bills game. It was gangsta, but c'mon man. You're too old to be doing stuff like that.



The Sitchoazz Down Winner for a coach IS.........................

None other than Josh McDaniels of the Denver Broncos.


This was another unanimous selection. McDaniels has done nothing but cause drama from the day he arrived in Denver to replace Mike Shanahan. It all started when McDaniels inquired about a possible trade for then-Patriots QB Matt Cassel. Crybaby Jay Cutler got his boxer briefs in a bunch and demanded a trade, which he was then granted and sent to the Chicago Bears. Then McDaniels had a falling out with WR Brandon Marshall during training camp and suspended Marshall.

When the regular season started, all was well when the Broncos went 6-0. The team was playing well and everyone was hugging and kissing, it was a big, soppy love fest. But then the Broncos went 2-8 down the stretch and slipped out of playoff contention. Once again, Marshell and McDaniels had another falling out, and McDaniels called Marshall out about an injury. Marshall and another teammate were then benched and were advised they were not allowed on the sidelines or in the locker room. Now the Broncos are almost certain to trade away their top offensive threat in the offseason, due to the conflict. Way to go rook! Scaring all of your good players away seemed to be the way to go in 2009 for McDaniels.

Honorable Mentions:

Rex Ryan, New York Jets-

Sexy Rexy, after the team lost to the Falcons, declared that his team was in fact out of playoff contention at 7-7, when they were still mathematically in it. Way to show confidence in your team. That, plus the fact that he looks 15 1/2 months pregnant gives him a mention.

Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers-

Contrary to popular belief, I never once thought of Tomlin. But Steelers fans asked for him to be on this list. The reason? His "unleash hell" comments that he made after the Ravens OT loss. The result after: Losses to the Raiders and Browns. Yep, you unleashed hell alright. Sitchoazz down!


The Sitchoazz Down Winner for a player IS.........................

We actually had a tie for this recipient. I am pleased to announce the winners of the Player Award is none others than Broncos WR Brandon Marshall and Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell


Hmmm.... Marshalll looks a little shocked to have made my list. Actually, most folks that voted for McDaniels, voted for Marshall also. While they both come from the same organization, majority of the voters think that Marshall is just as much to blame as McDaniels in this petty battle for control. . In addition to the disciplinary problems Marshall faced during training camp, it's been reported that McDaniels benched Marshall in the Broncos finale because he was late for a therapy meeting. Add to the fact that Marshall has had off-the-field issues recent (he was accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend) and in the past, and he's a shoe-in.

Russell is on the list because he's the laziest, fattest QB I think anyone has ever seen.

The former #1 overall draft pick has done nothing to keep his job. It's been alleged that Russell does not study film, not a hard worker and was eventually benched by Raiders coach Tom Cable because he was awful on the field. Russell recently missed his final team meetings to go catch a plane to Las Vegas, so yeah... clearly football isn't his priority. And by the looks of that ugly azz chain he wears, he's stealing money and getting away with it.

Honorable Mentions:

Larry Johnson, KC Chiefs/Cincinnati Bengals-

To put it kindly, LJ is a Douche Lord (ala Khloe Kardashian). Okay, I realize that wasn't kind at all. But so what. Johnson went on a twitter rampage, bad mouthing Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and afterward, calling followers gay slurs. Johnson was eventually let go and re-signed with the Bengals. Though he's been quiet since going to Cincy, his little tantrum gives him a clear runner-up spot in the awards show. He needs to do more than sit has ass down, he needs to STFU, too.

By now, I'm sure most of you are aware of the Jay Cutler situation in Denver. If you don't then let me give you a recap.

Cutler is upset because he had learned during the early ages of free agency that he was brought up in a possible trade with New England for QB Matt Cassel. While the trade didn't happen, the situation between new head coach Josh McDaniels and Cutler have gotten worse in every attempt to reconcile the situation.

Some folks think he is rightfully upset. Other folks thinks he's a big whiny brat. Which do you think best suits his handling of this. A look at both angles.

Why He Has Reason To Be Upset-

The 11th pick of the 2006 NFL Draft was drafted to be the future QB of the Denver Broncos. Mike Shanahan confirmed this when he replaced QB Jake Plummer with Cutler during the '06, when they still had a chance to make the playoffs. He had every reason to believe that his time to reign had started. Cutler's been pretty productive since taking over as the general for the team. He was in the Top 5 category in yards, and in TD passes, while being voted to the 2008 Pro Bowl. With WRs Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal as his weapons, he showed promise that he could possibly be a top quarterback in the league. All of this with a terrible defense that couldn't stop my son's Pop Warner's team if they tried.

Cutler felt betrayed by the rumors of the possible trade, and understandably so. If you are brought in to be the face of a franchise, only to learn that you are no longer looked at as such, then I think most people would react the same way that Cutler has. He has gone as far as accusing McDaniels of antagonizing him and basically admitting to intentions of bringing in Cassel because of their previous relationship. If this is true, then I can definitely understand the notion of Cutler not feeling wanted.

Shoot, we are in a recession... I guess NFL players are in the same boat........


Yeah right!! But folks want job security, and when you don't have it, you tend to panic. I can't say his feelings aren't justified. Furthermore, he's standing up for what he thinks is right. My mama always said if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. For that, Cutler gets a Right On! from me.


Why He Sounds Like A Whiny Brat-

Although there was speculation, he ultimately wasn't traded. That should hold rank for something. It came down to being just talk, nothing more. While some people have criticized McDaniels for the handling of this situation, no report has confirmed that he initiated any trade talks. He allegedly was approached about a trade and he listened. There is no crime in that.

While I can understand Cutler's disappointment in finding this out, he's handled this in the utmost unprofessional way possible. When McDaniels made the attempt to set up a meeting do discuss what happened, it went from bad to worse. Instead of discussing their sides of the story and finding some mutual ground, Cutler had a temper tantrum and and has since put his house on the Denver market and requested a trade from Denver. Just curious, am I the only one that reads, "wah wah wah" when I read some of his quotes???

Another report has also come out that Cutler had allegedly asked to be traded once the Broncos fired offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates. While Cutler denies these reports, this is beyond petty to me. If this side of the story deems to be true, then Cutler seemed way too eager to jump ship from the beginning, starting when Shanahan was canned. While he has lost trust in McDaniels and the rest of the organization, one can also say the same for Cutler if this info is accurate. This makes him look very two faced and untrustworthy.

To make matters worse, Cutler has seemed to take it out on the community. He was invited to a fundraiser at Invesco Field, but was a no show at the event. While he did make a donation to the foundation that raises money for research and treatment for children with cancer, the fact that he allowed his personal business affect his community outreach speaks volumes about how he's handled this. This screams bitchassness to the 10th power to me......



I always believe that there are 3 sides of every story. One side, the other side and then the truth. Who knows how much of each account is true. Most could agree that both could have handled this situation much better and moved on for the better of the team. Unfortunately, it looks like this may be the end of Cutler in Denver.
