Glenn Guilbeau, who covers Louisiana State University sports and the New Orleans Saints for The Town Talk and four other Gannett Louisiana newspapers, has won the individual sweepstakes award in Class I at the Louisiana Sports Writers Association's annual awards banquet held Suanday in Natchitochesy.

Guilbeau got two first-place writing awards, two second places and a third. One first place was in college columns for a piece that compared University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow to the "most interesting man in the world" in the Dos Equis beer commercials.

Another first place for Guilbeau was in spot news for a story written on signing day in 2009 about LSU coach Les Miles removing a scholarship offer to former Bastrop receiver DeAngelo Benton so he could make sure he signed Rueben Randle -- the No. 1 receiver in the nation also out of Bastrop.

Guilbeau also had a second place in prep features on Randle's positive impact on his town that was economically depressed from a paper mill closure in Bastrop.

So the Louisiana sports writers gave him a few awards. Dude everybody gets awards at those kind of functons. It's kind of like Cub Scout Award Night for grown ups.

Just a little dab of the level of professionalism exhibited there. From the link you cited, first paragraph:
"Sports Writers Association's annual awards banquet held Suanday in Natchitochesy."
Real impressive big time journalism stuff huh?

You have to consider who is handing out these awards, just so other media idoits.
