GMC "Never Say Never" Award

[johnmike72]

Can anyone explain why Flaccos video wasnt shown? This man absolutely gets no respect, no wonder he says he wont get any credit for a win, the NFL just proved it.. And of course the award was given to Tebow, NFL`s golden-boy. Is anyone-else frustrated by this?

[EternalRavensDefense]

That is the way the NFL work. Joe Flacco will always be hated upon by simple minded people like Jaime Duke, Tom Weddle, Keyshawn Johnson, etc. who speak like a bunch of idiots.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I know, I just saw it and can't wait for an explanation (not that we'll get one).

[dcberg00]

Said the same thing. Knew the Golden Boy was going to get it..... but why wasn't a play that was up for voting not even shown during the show. Pissed off.

[Gordo52]

Was every other nominees play shown except for Joes? If so then I believe its messed up.

Yep, the other 4 nominees were shown, Flacco was the only one omitted.

[ravensdfan]

They are just going to say it was cut for "time purposes" lol

It is ridiculous that it wasn't shown. Every other nominee was shown except Joe.

[Purple Nurple]

Unfair and unacceptable. I wonder how pissed off joe is?

[raybaby]

Wow. Ridiculous. And people think Joe is treated the same. The Joe hate is unreal.. well is real.. you know what I mean lol

[Gordo52]

Wow thats unacceptable. Im sure Joe could care less though. & real NFL fans know what he did and how more impressive it was then all the others.

[JO_75]

I was stunned they didn't show it but hey it would be against the rules to show Pittsburgh losing, especially in Pittsburgh. I mean let's just pretend the 92 Yard Drive didn't happen.... or that the game didn't happen.

I'm upset but come on, even a blind man could have figured out Tebow was going to win the award, but I'm even more upset Tebow didn't thank Marian Barber for fumbling!

[Sizzlebshu]

Well I won't say Flacco deserved to win, because this whole season was a never say never moment for Tebow. The Miami game alone woulda gave it to him and I bet what is the voting was actually based on. I have no idea why they selected the Chicago game as his highlight. UGHHh

But they just did Flacco wrong. I truly hope he goes on an Aaron Rodgers tear next year so he can prove to the world what a great qb he is.

[Alexir]

Sounds like Flacco got Tebowed. Seems to be the new hip thing these days....

Joe doesn't give a crap about a GMC award....it's american made, the award will break down in 3 years tops...

And if Joe is frustrated with this loss, then he needs to grow up because even I think he is better than this...

[Yatagarasu]

Joe will only gain recognition, if he wins the Super Bowl. It's lame that it's not going to be this year.

However, since Flacco did not win the big game, maybe we don't have to sign him as an elite QB ($15+ M). Flacco for under $14 M per year is a bargain.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

It was never not going to go to Tebow but Flacco's was the only other nomination that I thought was even deserving of being nominated.

[GermanRavensFan]

So Tebow got it for tor throwing one TD in that game.

The broncos' kicker should have recieved the award for making that 59-yarder to send the game to OT and then nailing the game winner!!!

I thought Toni Romo with broken ribs should have won.

[FerrariFan87]

The national media can't stand to show a Steelers' loss (unless Tebow is involved)... we shouldn't be surprised by this.

Even if he wins the big game, he'll get the least credit most likely.

[adam713]

It is quite ridiculous that it wasn't shown. Was an incredible moment.

[BirdWatcher]

At least they just showed in on the Road to the Super Bowl show.

That's what was shown last night on TV.

The Packers goal line stand didn't seem all that impressive. I believe it was a Week 1 game in which that occurred too, so not much drama involved there. Romo playing hurt with broken ribs isn't anything new, it's been done before by other players throughout the league every year. I can understand the Raiders game after Al Davis' death as a nomination due to sentimental reasons. And well, Tebow Time is Tebow Time, can't really avoid that. It just befuddles me as to how a finalist for the award (Flacco's GW drive) doesn't even make the cut for the actual award show. Oh well, that was the winner in my book.

[ravenswoman]

I thought I must have been mistaken about that drive being in the running when they didn't show any clips. Now that I know it was nominated I find it ridiculous that it was not shown. What gives?!

[johnmike72]

This just goes to show you that the fan votes actually mean nothing, bottom line is the higher ups in the NFL have the final decision, because we all know that Tebow absolutely should not of won that award. My god Romo`s performance was more impressive than the Golden-boy Tim Tebow, but for them to not even show recognition to Flacco is just flat out ignorant and a slap in the face to the fans such as myself who voted 4 Flacco, and in my opinion should of won.

I think it should've gone to Moore of the Patriots. If he didn't hold Pitta, we would have had a 1st down and gone on to score a TD. It's because of him that the NFL's favorite crybaby QB is back in the Super Bowl

[JoeCool#5]

Just means I will never buy a GMC truck, Chevrolet or Buick. That is all. Epic fail.

The are just the corporate sponsor of the award. They have no bearing on who's selected as the winner.

[Grapple Raven]

Well, as I have done all season, I voted my little fingers to the bone for that! lol Whats more is I will keep voting every chance I get to vote for one of our players, and I hope other fans will as well. You may think it doesn't matter, or it won't count, but indirectly it counts for alot. Alot of the storylines these networks CHOOSE to promote is based on the response from fans. Tebow??? Anyone watch "Inside the NFL"? Remember the response from Steeler fans when Sapp called the Steeler defense old? The flood of responses got an on air apology. From their polls, tweets, blogs, comment sections, and texts, etc. believe me they know the larger fanbases, and consequently they cater to them for ratings.
We may be a small media market, but I am sick and tired of getting overlooked and denied. The squeaky wheel gets the grease ya know, and I see nothing wrong in giving them a nicely worded reminder that we play in the NFL too!

I was dumbfounded that in the memorial segment of last night's show, they didn't include PAT MODELL either, but you bet they included Myra Kraft! Call me crazy, because I have done it before, but someone at the NFL channel is going to hear about both these things. I will state my position respectfully, but they are going to know I am ticked off!!!
