2012 M Awards: Favorite Race

Stealing pies is not a profession, but if you are going to steal pies, then taking up a good hobby like running might be in order. Not only would the running help to slim you down from the countless calories of your pieness, but you would be well ahead of the hordes of pie people looking for the pie thief. The pie people must have had a bad year with all the people who voted for the St. Jude Marathon. On a serious note—donate to St. Jude, now.

2012 M Awards: Favorite Sporting Venue

When I am contemplating my favorite sporting venue, there is no doubt about which criteria I use to differentiate. Punctuality, speed and efficiency. That’s right, don’t you want your venue to be on-time, fast and efficient? Well you get all those and more at FedExForum. Do you need to be there overnight? Well – that’s not an option. You can’t spend the night there. But you can spend the night right outside on Beale Street.

FedExForumFirst Place: 66.57%
AutoZone ParkSecond Place: 15.82%
LP FieldThird Place: 5.67%

Best song to listen to while contemplating this category… Fedex by Jovan Dais. So what do you think, Memphis? Do you get it right? If UPS were the sponsor of Redbirds Stadium, would they have won instead. Would have even been close? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
