We, the media, are entrusted to report the news and comment on the news. We are not supposed to be making the news, unless, of course, you're Ron Burgundy summoning the News Team for a back-alley gang brawl with knives and tridents. Yet every time a sportswriter or sportscaster casts a vote for an award or honor, that person is thrust into the middle of a story. And last week, a business already poisoned by too many conflicts of interest sunk to new lows in the balloting department, to the point there's really only one solution.

Stop voting, friends.

I kind of agree. I always thought the people that would have the best opinion of the players would be the coaches.

another possible voter might be player representatives for each team who could possibly take a popular opinion poll from the players on the team to cast their vote.

who cares, I just have never liked fan voting or writers voting.

i like you're second idea. work it out like the electoral college.

that would be a far better alternative.
