Here are this year’s nominees:

Chad Kelly – I feel the defending champion should have the chance to repeat… and its not like missing the entire season due to injury stopped Kelly from being a douche. There was his claim that he is a top 32 QB in the NFL and his social media post gloriously foreshadowing his triumphant return… that ever happened.

CFL Command Centre – Another repeat nominee from last year. From there insistence on inserting themselves in calls that no one wanted them to, to their complete lack of anything resembling a coherent logic for when to intervene and whether or not to get the call right. Not much unites Canadians these days but our universal hatred of the Command Centre certainly does.

Micah Awe – The dirtiest player in the CFL and its not even close. I can only assume he has embarrassing photos of top league execs because he continues to deliver illegal hits with impunity knowing the worst we will get is his 20^th consecutive fine. I think we owes the league some money for his hit in the WSF that was once again glossed over.

Shawn Oakman – When the words “threated”, “sexually explicit material” and “child” all make it into the one sentence outlining the wrongdoings that more than enough to warrant a nomination.
