We've wrapped up our six-day trip to New York City with a visit to the 31st Annual Sports Emmys, an evening that featured the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to the incomparable John Madden and a variety of awards for our partners at NBC Sports.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and NBC Universal Sports & Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol presented the award to Madden. As Jones and Ebersol took the stage, Ebersol pretended to shoot video of Jones with a cell phone, a nod to the recently-publicized recording of Jones talking about former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells and quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol.

In accepting the award, Madden was, well, Madden -- charming and engaging and plain-spoken and hilarious.

Cris Collinsworth????? who replaced Madden on Sunday Night Football, was named Outstanding Sports Personality, Sports Event Analyst. Bob Costas, the host of Football Night in America, was named Outstanding Sports Personality, Studio Host.

NBC's Sunday Night Football received the nod for Outstanding Live Sports Series, and NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII won the Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Special.

Also, our friends at NBCSports.com secured the hardware for Outstanding New Approaches -- Short Format for Countdown to Vancouver.

Oh, and Sunday Night Football Extra on NBCSports.com was nominated for Outstanding New Approaches -- Sports Event Coverage. And we lost, likely due to the poor quality of the smartass comments provided on a weekly basis by a certain Internet hack who shall remain nameless, but who would have claimed credit for the whole thing if we had won.

And, yes, I specifically did not mention the nomination in advance, in order to avoid jinxing our chances. So much for Italian superstitions.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
