I remember maybe 5 or 6 years ago we tried to do this, and well:

Post the thread you want to see in the world.

Let's get it right and vote for the correct winners of the only awards that matter, the 2014 SASSIES!

I've set up an email address at sassies14@gmail.com; check the bottom of this OP for the format. I'll tabulate and report on all the results, and AT MINIMUM print out very nice looking awards on heavy cardstock paper and mail it to the players c/o their teams. If any TTM autograph hounds want to give me any advice on sending directly to players, I'm open to that as well.

Bonus! If anyone has a line on nicely-done but small plaques (that could be put in a bubble mailer and sent out), I can allocate up to $50 of my own money to get them ginned up, but the clock's ticking because I'd like to send these out NO LATER THAN the 15th of November. Which means-

Also, this isn't a Sheep thread. Feel free to post your ballots and debate them here. I'm also amenable to another category if you guys can think of something super-obvious I missed. Also new names to get us closer to the reality of a photo-op with a pained grimace of one of the players holding up our plaque.

Also, here's the link for your defensive play of the year vote:
