Sometimes ... hear me out ... people just make up reasons to justify what they already want to happen.
Sam Darnold is like everyones comeback player of the year. Everyone knows he’s the comeback player of the year. We know what a comeback player is. It was dumb of them, to try change the definition of a comeback player by shoehorning the injury thing in there, just to get the guy they thought should win the award the victory. They didn’t need to do that. They didn’t need extra, artificial, justification to announce whoever they wanted to win the award then. It’s a stupid award show. They can just announce whoever they want as the winner, and we’ll all call them stupid on social media.
It's like the Democrats, conveniently not noticing that Biden was senile until a week after “it was too late to have a primary” and oopsie I guess they just had to roll with the establishment Democrats preferred choice Kamala because reasons.
