Peers I believe. I think a lot of them didn't like how the whole "King Kong" thing went down....Congrats to Dolphin this year.
Who decides these things? Isn’t it a peers voting thing? Doesn’t matter, was just wondering, was thinking it was this way.

My beef with the whole thing is I think you have to consider intent. I think it's reasonable to assume his intent wasn't to disparage the kid racially....he meant it as a compliment. In hindsight the reference was inappropriate but a simple apology should have been sufficient.I think that is one thing 99% of everyone can agree on, he got a raw deal. They were fishing for something. It was definitely not aimed in an inappropriate way.
I'm pretty sure that a "Thank you for your years of service" award since you will be leaving soon. Yes I'm biased but Dolph is a terrible announcer.
If hawks are behind he will go 10 minutes without mentioning score.
I once herd him say "The Hawks will start this drive in the Red Zone" after they returned a kickoff to the 16 yard line. Their OWN 16 yard line. Eddie had to inform him it is only the Red Zone at your opponents 20.
During a Northwestern MBB game Bobby Hanson had to correct him the the opponent was playing zone and not man-to-man. This was 25 seconds into the shot clock.
And so on...
I think Dolphin's a professional, his style is easy on the ears. Much better than that drunken fool Zabel, half the time you couldn't tell what was going on. He needs a better sidekick though, Podolak is a mess.
