Troll of the year award

As 2005, a very eventful year for GA, nears an end, I'd like to ask all the
pilots here to consider having a Troll of the Year award.

Judging criteria might include the troll's:
- persistance
- ability to annoy large groups of GA pilots on a variety of topics
- understanding of the problems that GA is experiencing, and using them
to advantage
- lack of personal attacks
- being impervious to threats made by certain pilots
- sense of humour
- etc.

I humbly nominate myself, and I thank you for your consideration.

Kind of like winning first place at the special olympics.

As weird as winning the SuperBowl and claiming to be world champions.

Do you think there is another US rules football team that could beat the
Superbowl winner any given year. If the worst team in the NFL were matched
against the best team any other league or nation could field I'd lay my
money on the NFL team.

The same goes for the NBA and Major League Baseball.

Judging from the past couple of Olympics I'm not sure a really good
European team couldn't beat our hothouse orchids.

and Major League Baseball.

Cuba, though in baseball terms that's pretty much the United States

Look back at the year we sent our really GOOD NBA players. And that was
basicly a pick-up team. Take one of the teams any any of the big three
sports that has been playing an practicing together all year and many the
foreign ass will be waxed.

College All-Stars game played in Chicago, to start the season, up until 1976
(today it's the Hall of Fame pre-season game)

All-Stars won 9 of those games (1 in 4 ...CAS get the tie) against the past
year's NFL Champs. g

(From the web)
Arch Ward - 1975 - Arch Ward, a promoter and Chicago Tribune editor, won the
award for coming up with the annual College All-Star game, an event that
matched the previous year's NFL Champs with the previous year's college
all-stars. The first CASG was played in 1934, and ended in a 0-0 tie with
the Chicago Bears. This series lasted until 1976 with the Pittsburgh
Steelers defeated the all-stars 24-0. All told, the college kids did not
fare well against the NFL Champion squads as they went a combined 9-32-1.

(Also from the web)
College All-Star Football Game
Initiated in 1934 by Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune, the College All-Star
Game football series was played annually in Chicago through 1976. Soon
achieving status as the official opening of each football season, the game
placed Chicago in the national sporting limelight each year as hundreds of
newspaper writers from around the country attended.

Matching a team of graduated All-American players from the previous season
against the defending National Football League professional champion, the
games were all played at Soldier Field—except for two games held at
Northwestern. During its lifetime the series raised approximately $4 million
for various Chicago-area charities. --Raymond Schmidt

That was almost 30 years ago. I doubt the outcome would be the same today.
Plus I wonder how it would have turned out if the NFL team had something to
loose and it was held a week or two before or after the Super Bowl?
