Snubbed: Joe Sakic NOT a finalist for GM of the year award (and that’s ridiculous)

First off, I’m not someone who believes too terribly much in the importance of awards. I’ve worked 32 years now in the media/journalism business, and I can tell you firsthand that awards in this business are almost complete, utter bullshite. And I say that as someone who has won a couple of nice journalism awards, including best sports story of the year in Colorado a few years ago, about Scott Parker’s post-playing concussion issues. Journalism awards almost always go like this: saddest story wins.
