I hate award shows, would never watch 5 seconds of one live, but why the hell is 'Coach < Prime' up there w/Bill giving away the NFL Coach of the Year award?? And the walk up rock music as KOC is getting to the stage, lmao. Although this was hilarious:

Everyone knew Sam was the comeback player of the year and the AP voters should've just said fuck the rules, I'm going with what I really think. Duteous twits.

WalterFootball.com Awards

        M.U.P. (Most Unimportant Player) – Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys 
It took Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy nearly the entire season to realize that Elliott was a complete waste. Dallas released Elliott, and the team was predictably more efficient offensively without the old running back.

        Perseverance Award – Sam Darnold, QB, Vikings
Darnold failed in multiple spots around the league and looked like a complete bust. He could have quit football like Josh Rosen or Jake Locker, but he continued to work hard and believe that he could be a successful starter in the NFL.

        “I Don’t Belong in the NFL” Award – Daniel Snyder, Redskins
Perhaps it’s not fair to give Daniel Snyder the “I Don’t Belong in the NFL” Award when he’s not even in the NFL anymore, but it’s Daniel Snyder, so it should be OK. In his first year away from the team, the Redskins advanced to the NFC Championship.

Well deserved. And....Vikings having 'ongoing dialogue' with Uncle Sammy:

ITs a whole bunch of not saying nuthin...Which is exactly what I expect of them right now.

[Montana Tom]

The Vikings, in their 65 year history as an NFL franchise, has had a head coach named Coach of the Year twice now.
The only other time? Bud Grant in 1969 I believe

This is code for KOC to give props to Sam, while not committing to him AT ALL for next season.  
The door is completely open, not only to JJM but also Daniel Jones to get a look.
