2011 FanPoster Of The Year: The Envelope Please...

PrintAs a hoary, osteoporotic 2011 limps off into the sunset, to be replaced by the shiny, cherubic face of 2012, it's time once again to ring out the old and ring in the new, FanPost-wise. Before we move on to the FanPoster of the Year, I'd like to take a moment to reiterate what O.C.C. expressed in his earlier "Honor Roll" post: "Most of us likely kept coming back, and eventually signed up, because of the community. So today we give a big tip o' the ole hat to those members that have made significant contributions to making BTB what is is today." The only hat big enough to tip to all y'all in our excellent community is a big ol' ten-gallon. And tip it I shall. Here goes:
Before I begin, however, I'd like to salute the many new faces (er, avatars?) who have filled the FanPost coffers to the brim in 2011. In past iterations of our weekly award column, I have invited all BTBers to come and join the FanPost party; in the past twelve months, an impressive number of you decided to accept my invitation and have churned out some great stuff. Thanks to all; our community has been the richer for your efforts.
Want proof? Since this time last year, there have been 33 FanPost of the Week Awards columns. In revisiting them and tracking the winners, I not only had the opportunity to stroll down memory lane ("Jeez, there have been a LOT of awesome FanPosts..."), but to notice that some FanPosters, like meteors, appear briefly in the night sky and then quickly disappear. Back in January, for example, a member named Hank Hill received honorable mention and then took home FPOTW honors in back-to-back weeks--and then was never heard from again (Hank: come back, we love your stuff!!). Hank was by no means the only shooting star in BTB's FanPost galaxy; many others appeared and vanished in a seeming instant.
The point here is that the top FanPosters are those who contribute steadily, week in and week out, throughout the year. O.C.C.'s Honor Roll post outlined the most frequent FanPosters and frankly, the numbers are staggering, both in terms of quantity (ChiaCrack with 123 FanPosts? The man is a machine!) and quality (5Blings and Greatwhitenorth with over 10 recs per FP? Astonishing!). And the amazing thing is that the best FanPosters have managed to offer both quality and quantity. Who are these bright suns?
Find out who this year's candidates are after the jump...
I submit to you a short list of finalists for the six-foot, gold plated, fully embossed "Rabbie" (which happens to be a statue of Tom Landry, clipboard in hand). In alphabetical order:
1. Chandus (for, among other FPs, his "Kool-Aid free" post-draft assessment)
2. Chia Crack (for a slew of fine posts, including a fantastic one on the Cowboys' Bravehearts)
3. Fan in Thick and Thin (who authored several excellent "MMQB" posts, with this one on close games being among the best)
4. 5Blings (for his annual "season of _______" post, among others)
5. Greatwhitenorth (who gave us several brilliant tongue-in-cheek posts on "Jerry's Draft Rules").
6. ScarletO (for taking the long view, as exemplified in his superb post on high-level competition).
Before we move on to the winner, I'd like to pause for a moment to recognize some of the year's other top FanPosters. Every one of these guys garnered multiple mentions and/ or wins in 2011: CotySaxman; NY Horn; the aforementioned Hank Hill, Lissyyyyy (the former Quinccyyy), Omar Little ("indeed"); Requiem (I'll always hold the dude in high esteem for deciphering the Cowboy's draft board in 2010); Musiccitynorm; RomoCop and CoachGary, a master of "X"s and "O"s. Shining beacons of football knowledge in a wilderness of pigskin ignorance, each and every one of 'em.
In 2011, however, their light, no matter how bright, paled in comparison to the lambent flame of the man who takes home this years larger-than-life statue. I narrowed the field to three candidates: Fan in Thick and Thin, 5Blings and ChiaCrack. In paring them down to the final candidate, I asked: who made the most original, most beloved and most impressive contributions? Using these criteria, I quickly eliminated last year's winner, FiTT, who gave us a lot of good statistical insight, but wasn't able to nab back-to-back wins. This left Chia Crack and 5Blings, worthy gentlemen both, each able to write eloquently (and copiously!) on a staggering variety of football-related topics.
In the end, however, it was no contest. 2011's top poster, in a landslide, is...(struggles to open envelope while simultaneously appearing suave and looking down the dress of the spokesmodel standing next to him at the podium):
ChiaCrack
Let's give it up for the estimable Crack! As O.C.C. noted in his Honor Roll post:
Hands down the most prolific poster of the past year has been ChiaCrack, who posted an incredible 123 posts. That's about 2.5 posts per week, and if you've read one of those things, you'll know that they are loooong with rarely less than 2,000 words, often much, much more. There have been entire doctoral theses written that were shorter than some of Chia's posts. Great effort.
But added to his mind-numbing productivity is a consistently high level of quality, thought and creativity. Again and again, Chia provided us with material that was well-researched, clearly yet passionately presented, and tremendously insightful. In 33 FPOTW entries this year, Chia took home one notable mention, ten runner-up nods and walked away with the hardware on four occasions--leading the pack in all three categories. Whether covering individual games, sharing info on obscure draft picks, or teasing out comparisons between the Cowboys organization and his favorite films, Chia was an energetic, brilliant, sometimes infuriating and always integral feature of BTB's daily life. Go here to read his Dickensian oeuvre.
Congrats, kid. You're gonna have to move some furniture around to make room for your big ol' life-sized golden Landry statue!

Yeah, good choice, not just because he's prolific, but because over time, he's
made a great effort to work on the quality of his writing, and it shows. Good job.
The quuality of his writing along with
Presentation and use of multi-media have all gone off the charts. Congrats Chia and to 5B/Fan – worthy contenders, both.
I don't make mistakes...just understandable bad choices

Another thing I admire is that you stopped the overly emotional post-game posts. I'm
so much more interested in rational analysis, and you’ve done a good job of moving in that direction. That’s what I look for in a writer.
I dont do them anymore
I am still gonna do the game balls post, that was a great idea
just gonna tone it down

Much Deserved……
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.

wow I am honored and flattered
I truly am, words cannot describe my gratitude right now
when reading this, I read slowly and carefully, I read every word Rabble wrote
when it got narrowed down to 5Blings Fan and me, I thought I was going to lose
truly honored and flattered that I won this, I am really honored and happy right now
I have worked so hard on improving my craft, if you look at my first fan post ever, “Igor the stupid dancing bear and Jacques Reeves V2.0”. I have come a lonnnnnnnnnnng way
In the past few months, my writing has grown so much and I am beginning to learn some nuances and methods that I didn’t know before
my ultimate goal at first here was just to communicate with other Cowboys fans and after a while I wanted to be a front page writer, that is still my goal
if that honor ever comes or if it never comes, I am going to just continue to work on my craft and use the fan post as a tool to speak to a great audience
thank you Rabble, you have been my boy from the beginning and have stuck behind my work, thank you so much for that
thank you OCC, who has given me a hand now and then and has truly shown off how great of a human being he can be……….even though he is a robot
thank you Tom Ryle, when you reached out to me, that was truly inspiring and I am honored that you will work with me
thank you KD, you have been a big supporter of the Chia and have recognized my improved attitude on here
thank to the rest of the BTB staff, truly an honor to share this website with you
thank you to my readers, fans and fellow BTB community members
without you, I am nothing on here
it is you who chooses to click on my fan post and read it, it is you who starts the conversation in the comment section
it is you who rec’s the articles
thank you to everyone here, I just want you to know that I have improved my behavior, I was once arrogant and immature, I have strayed away from that behavior and it has only made my BTB experience that much greater
thanks to everyone

But more than anything I would like to commend you on your behavior You never got on my nerves but I know there were a lot of people that you used to have at it with but you really did work hard on changing some of your ways. And it showed. So congrats to you on that as well as your fan post.

"You win,'' Romo said. "You're a very good leader once you win.
"That's' what we're going to do.''
If that is possible it would be a great thing indeed

Thanks to all the members who put time into creating the many great Fanposts this season.
The many different ways in which people can interpret and analyse the same game and season almost always means there’s a refreshing opinion and debate available. It’s what makes this blog great.
Congratulations to Chia for winning FPOTY.
thanks to everyone, thanks Luke

Props to the honorable mentions, too.
All of you do some scary good work.
OK, back to Chia basking in the glow of his win.
Formerly Pineywoods - different name, same cockeyed view of the world.
Jason Garrett - Lord of Order
Rob Ryan - Lord of Chaos
Congrats Chia well deserved.
This is scary though. Rarely see this group so solidly agree on anything here. You must have done something right. Once again well deserved.
Congrats to Chia
and all of the finalists. Great work by all this year
You have to play this game like somebody just hit your mother with a two-by-four. Dan Birdwell. Oakland Raiders
How do you want to be rememberd. Go out there and play every play like it is your last play. Be remembered as the person you want to be for the rest of your life. Spike Dykes, Midland Lee and Texas Tech Coach.
Chia is like the Sean Lee of FanPosts
Congrats, bruh! Always like reading your stuff!
