Tim Riodan over at Bull Run decided that the traditional media, and selection panels, and people with... ya know ... expertise, shouldn't be the only ones that get to submit ballots for postseason awards. Blogs like this one should. So he has put together a submission process for all the SB Nation sites to use. Here is his writeup about it... and here is the CRFF submission:
