CHFF dominates 2009 PFWA writing awards

The Cold, Hard Football Facts and publisher/Potentate of Pigskin Kerry J. Byrne dominated the 2009 Pro Football Writers of America writing awards announced this month, capturing more honors than any other outlet or writer in the country.

 

Byrne earned three individual awards, including first- and third-place honors in the enterprise reporting category, creating a Bloomberg News sandwich in the process. Hmm ... anybody else hungry?

 

USA Today also captured three PFWA writing awards, led by Jarrett Bell's pair of honors for game and news reporting. Cold, Hard Football Facts was honored for the nation's top game story in the 2007 PFWA awards.

 

"My mom says I'll never amount to anything if I don't leave the basement," said Byrne, taking a break at halftime of his super-troll-like effort to recreate the entire 1977 NFL season on Strat-O-Matic football. "Guess I showed her, huh? Mom!!! Where's my God-damned grilled cheese sandwich?!!?"

 

Yup, even in victory, he's still a douche.

 

Here's the entire list of PFWA winners, which covered the period from Super Bowl XLII in February 2008 through Super Bowl XLIII in February 2009.
