So many good articles this year, but one that I really enjoyed from an entertainment standpoint (and more inportantly nominate) is JNR's E60: TC the Team Crusher article.

I am going to nominate my article: The Lazy Statistician: STATRIBUTES SERIES PART 1 - SHOOTING
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5208
While the writing isn't up to James Joyce quality, and it's not the funniest article there is, the beauty of it was in the prepwork. Overall, it took me a day to compile, organize, and analyze the data, all while I was on the clock at work. So even though I was technically getting paid probably more to write this article than I would have been paid to write this article as a freelancer for someone who specifically wanted it, I would also like to earn points for it.
I think there were valuable lessons to be learned, it spawned a lot of questions, and I think I was able to dig deeper into the questions to answer them.

I also want to nominate a couple articles that I thought were really funny. Both of these made me have glols, when I'm typically more of an internal laugher when it comes to reading things that aim to be humorous.
1. So your player got hit in TC (ballsohard): viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5045
2. PTI Episode 7 (The JNR): viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5103
-I know that another of Nate's articles was nominated earlier, but I wanted to give this a nod just the same. I've read a lot of Nate's more serious short pieces before I was in PBSL, so it was cool to see humor incorporated in his writing in PBSL, and I think this was my favorite example of that.
