ULTY: Most Valuable Commenter

Well, you've all been waiting patiently to find out the winners of this year's ULTY Awards. The first annual ULYs have been a success, and we had a solid number of voters to decide the awards. But let's not kid ourselves -- the numbers aren't overwhelming, and a low total of votes leaves room for some ties. I could break the ties myself (I am entitled to my own votes, too) but I think I'll leave them as ties. Anyway, tonight we have the first announcement. The ULTY for Most Valuable Commenter. The nominees were Enahs, Ed B, Fitch, and Jack G. The MVC Award is given to the person who the fans vote has made the greatest contributions to the discussions and vibes of Ultimate Boston through the use of the comments section on our posts. The fans have spoken. The ULTY goes to...

Enahs, co-winner of MVC

It's a tie, folks. Enahs and Fitch each hauled in 37% of the vote in what amounted to a dead tie. These two both make great contributions to Ultimate Boston by posting comments that are insightful and intriguing for the readership to enjoy and debate. Enahs has shown strong points in dealing with the Celtics and Patriots in particular, as well as various other specialties. His humor always gives a chuckle, but his messages are stern and heartfelt. As a commenter, the Ultimate Boston readership is undoubtedly glad to have his input on a given post.

Fitch, co-winner of MVC

As for Fitch, he serves as the perfect compliment to Enahs for co-winners of the MVC award. Based on the content and style of his comments, Fitch tends to specialize with the other side of the spectrum, looking at the Bruins and the Sox. His input is always valuable and he shoots straight to the point. Both of these guys won this award for a reason. They are fearless when it comes to voicing their opinion, and that's a good quality to have as a human being. Congratulations to Enahs and Fitch, who split the winnings for Most Valuable Commenter.

What's their reward, you ask? It's obviously the fame of being an ULTY winner, and the very first ones at that. But in addition, Ultimate Boston will look to offer each of these contributors -- if they desire -- a chance to be part-time bloggers on the UB team in their areas of expertise. As we enter a new year, we look to make our most prominent contributors the keys to our success. MVC, a split decision. MEC -- Most Entertaining Commenter -- is up next. It could go to one of these very people I've just honored. We'll have to wait and see.
