Welcome back to The craig Way Showand the Voice of the Longhorns. Craig
Way. Follow Craig on social mediaat Horn Voice. So did you watch
the SPS last night? I didnot. I didn't either, and I
usually don't the SPS in a ina very very long time. It's just
(00:27):
I know people that work on theshow, so I don't. I don't
want to offend them or anything becauseit's they put on a good show.
It's just do I think you know, there's so many awards already in professional
sports, you know, I don'tknow how many we more we really need,
especially when the ones that we alreadyhave half the time get it wrong
or the vote is wrong. Whatdo you mean, Like like the NFL
(00:50):
MVP award, I think is themost useless award in probably any of the
any of the professional sports, reallybecause the MVP will go to a quarterback,
and for the most most part,is Aaron Rodgers really the most valuable
player in an NFL? I don'tthink so. I think that award should
(01:11):
be given to a lot of differentplayers. A lot of the times it's
usually just a quarterback award. Ithink they need to go ahead and separate,
have your Quarterback of the Year awardand then have an MVP award that
you cannot vote for a quarterback.Okay, kind of like Cy Young.
You know, there's a lot ofold line baseball people are good friend and
Kylie Keith Morland, I think,is one of these who believes this that
(01:33):
a pitcher should never be named theMVP of a team. I'm okay with
especially a starting pitchers. Pitchers onceevery five days. He plays once every
five days is the argument off ofthat. And they said they have an
MVP award, it's called the CyonYeah, so you know that's that's the
(01:55):
argument there on some of them.Okay, the you know, the counter
argument that is, he's still aplayer, so if it's a non pitcher,
it should be the most valuable nonpitcher award. You can have a
Cy Young Award and most Valuable positionPlayer award, but you shouldn't just say
(02:17):
most Valuable player and exclude pitchers.But again, the counter argument is pitch
once every five unless you're unless you'rea reliever, you know, and you're
out there a lot, and somerelievers have won it before. At this
point, it's just too late tochange any of these awards, right,
agreed? Okay, so as he'slast nine case, didn't hear you.
(02:39):
Let me know if you agree ordisagree with any of these. Now,
this is based on the last fanvotes, right, yeah, but it's
yes, that is correct. Now, this is based on the last twelve
months. Okay, Best Major Leagueplayer show Ao Toney, Sure, that's
fine. Okay, Best NFL player, Patrick Mahomes, sure, okay,
(03:01):
quarterback, Yeah, sure about that. Okay, Best driver race car driver,
yep. And this is of allclasses gotta be for stabbing. It
is max for stabbing. Best NBAplayer, mm hmm. Jokic, it's
(03:21):
not Giannis, it's not. Ifit's embiid then to cancel the sps.
It's not Embi. Okay, that'sfine. Lebron, it's not Lebron.
Who am I missing? Who haveI not named yet? Jaylen Brown?
It's facing Tatumpepe, Luca Luka.Okay, yeah, I guess I should
(03:43):
probably say Luca before Tatum and Brown. Name best player. Okay. I
was still giving it to Jokic,but considering it, if it's the last
twelve months, I guess that's right. After the last this NBA Finals in
twenty twenty three, eh, okay, best athlete with a disability as Brenna
Huckabee snowboarder, Best college athlete women'ssports. I think you can guess this
(04:05):
one, oh, Kaitlyn Clark yep. Best WNBA player that I probably will
not guess, Asia Wilson Las Vegas. This was something we had. We
had just had a discussion with ourgood friend Carl Shoning bill Soon, who
(04:26):
does a lot of things with theiHeart Family and with UTSA, and he
was in vehement disagreement for best breakthroughAthlete. Did you ever want it?
I did not. So first ofall, let me tell you who he
was upset that it wasn't best breakthroughAthlete. I'm gonna guess he's upset.
It wasn't Wimby, That's correct.He thought it should have been Victor Wemby
(04:49):
Yama, So it was not Wimby. He did not really know much about
this athlete. Can you give me, like what sport basketball? Okay?
Was the best? Was it bestbreakthrough basketball player? Just no? In
term breakthrough athlete? Man, thiscould go so many different directions. I
(05:10):
might say Jaylen Brown in this one. No, No, it's college basketball
clinging. No, nope, I'msmiling because I can see how your mindset
is working and how a lot offolks mindset would work this way. Man,
(05:32):
I'm leaning towards Bronnie James here.It's not Brownie. You're gonna have
to tell me this one. JujuWatkins. Okay, Yeah, see,
you know a lot of people calledit no Juju Watkins, he said no.
In fact, he called her JujuWatson. Watson. Okay, I
said Juju Watkins. He had anincredible freshman year. Uh, but he
(05:56):
was not happy with that best championshipperformance. You can probably I guess this
because you've already guessed his name severaltimes. Mmmm. The Chiefs, Nope,
it's a it's a player, ohperformance like in individual individual game Jaalen
Brown? Yep. Pat Timan Awardfor Service Coach to Prince Harry. Okay,
(06:18):
how does how does he win thataward? Well? What Prince Harry
do? Well? He did servehis country, did he not? But
this isn't this the SP's Well,it's the Pat Tilman Award for Service.
Did he drop play a couple ofpoints in a cricket game while he was
a service what's uh? Best Athletefor Women's Sports was Asia Wilson. Jimmy
(06:39):

Asia Wilson won Best Athlete for womenSports. Okay, okay, uh
(07:03):
best play. I know this won'tcome to mind, So I'm gonna tell
it to you and then you're gonnaremember it unless you want to take a
show. Let me let me thinkyour best play, the best play.
I don't think you're gonna guess this. Can you give me the sport football?
NFL? I'll even tell you NFLwhat was the craziest NFL play?
(07:24):
It was even a quarterback. I'lleven tell you that. Okay, let
me think here. It may havebeen Mahomes with the flip. You would
think maybe something like that. It'snot Patrick Mahan. Okay, it's not
my homes. Got didn't do anything. I don't think to it in anything
it might have been is a DakPrescott's ninety yard touchdow the ceed lamb against
(07:46):
the Raiders. Nope, Okay,go ahead and tell me it's Lamar Jackson
catching his own pass. Okay.Yeah, Like I said, I didn't
think you'd think think about it,but then when reminded of you, oh
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,crazy right. Arthur Ash Award for courage
to Steve Gleason and continues his fightobviously, Uh, he does and does,
and also former Great Longhorn All AmericanSteve McMichael, both fighting als and
(08:16):
in a big, big fight.Best Athlete for men's sports, Men's sports.
Okay, so what are the optionshere? I'm gonna say Lebron It's
not a bad choice, but it'snot him. It's his big a headline
name in his particular sport yep okay. Best record breaking performance was Caitlin Clark,
crowned as the all time scoring leaderin sea basketball. Muhammad Ali Sports
(08:39):
Humanitarian Award goes to the Maui surfingcommunity. Uh. They provided resources for
the Maui community after the horrific fires. Best comeback Athlete it's an Olympic dart
dartwin Olympic sport Okay, it's anOlympic sport that was gonna I guess,
(09:00):
uh not darwinham Uh, the marHamlin from the Bills. No, that's
not a bad idea, but it'snot. Okay, go ahead and tell
me someone Biles, Okay, gymnastics. Best team? Would you like to
take a guess of what was voted? I'm always curious about this. I'm
always fascinated by the team that getsvoted the best team. It's regardless of
(09:22):
sport, it's regardless of division,proer college. But what was voted the
best? Did they win their championshipin their respective sport? And it usually
works out that way and it didin this Cokay, I would say out
of the professional sports, I wouldsay the Boston Celtics, right, But
remember this is this doesn't have tobe approached, it's just best team.
(09:43):
Okay, So maybe South Carolina thenyep, South Carolina women's basketball, yep,
bean, that's so objective. Cricketcould go with Yukon men's back.
I don't even I know. That'swhy I said I'm always curious about that,
right, but remember they were undefeated. Sure, so you can also
run back to I mean again,yeah again, yeah, okay, best
(10:05):
college athlete men's sports. Let's seeJayden Daniels won the HEISP in this past
year. This year. Yeah,you don't have to go any farther.
