Playa of the Year (POTY)

Pull over! I gotta POTY!

Playa of the Year (POTY)FIFA announced the finalists for the something they call the “FIFA World Player.” Pssth! Whatever. I didn’t see Jeff Parke OR Ritchie Kotschau on that list, so you know it’s bullshit. There is no way a dude named “Kaka” should win anything.

What, Gertrude?

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite?

Why don’t they call him Ize or Ricky?

Anyway, FIFA says we gotta pick between Kaka, Cristiano “The Other” Ronaldo, and Lionel “The Model Train” Messi on the men’s side and between women footballers Marta, Cristiane, and Birgit Prinz. Apparently, Soccer Jesus David Beckham is too other worldly for a “World Player” award. Well, that and kinda one-dimensional. Actually Soccer Jesus is one-dimensional, hurt, and English – the definition of mediocre.

We’re are more interested in Playas. Phat ballers that get the job done and don’t need a fancy nickname or hair gel to prove it. Also, we won’t have any stupid gender categories — one award for a man or woman.

Therefore, we are creating the 2007 Far Post Playa of the Year award.

Yeah, it’s Ben. That man should never worry about it, he’s a stone cold playa.

Gotta be AP. Check the math. No, seriously, the math adds up to Peterson.
