What If The Heisman Trophy Actually Went to College Football’s Most Outstanding Player?

Let’s pretend, for a moment, that we live in an alternate reality. Up is down, black is white, Isiah Thomas could successfully run a child’s lemonade stand without the lemons demanding a trade (or the sugar suing for sexual harassment), Notre Dame is a football school.

And the Heisman Trophy goes to the best player in football.

Radical, ain’t it?

Ostensibly, the trophy is awarded to the “most outstanding player in college football,” in the words of the Heisman’s official site. In reality, its selection has become one of sports’ unwritten rules, annually ending up in the hands of the best quarterback or running back on a highly ranked team. So, somewhere in the rush to drool over counting stats, what should be college football’s answer to the best actor Oscar, has become the equivalent of the biggest popcorn movie star.

(The award itself is named after former Georgia Tech coach John Heisman, but we suggest a more apt name would be the Weis, awarded to the player who’s on television and talked about the most without great attention to his actual level of ability).

Thank You to the Nation

Thank You to the Nation

 

People started congratulating me. For what, I wondered!

 

I had received emails and messages and a few friends had mentioned something about an award. I was surprised and absolutely thrilled to read a news article online, that I had been chosen to receive a Medal of Honor on National Heroes Day. This is completely unexpected and I’d like to sincerely thank the people of St Kitts and Nevis; those that nominated me, and the organising body, the National Awards Committee.
