If you missed @qbc14 or skipped out early then you missed the Mazzy Awards.
I’m going to start with the end.
The final award was Player Of The Year. I was hosting and since I didn’t think the winner was in the audience I asked that if someone was wearing the jersey of the player then please come accept the award. Matt Harvey wins, and a kid right in front of me is wearing Harvey 33. So I ask the kid to make a speech and the kid says really confidently (as Matt Harvey)….
“I will be back.”
That’s it. Drop the mike, QBC over. I knew I couldn’t top that line so I just walked off. Great line kid.
And the winners are…
