12th Avenue Bakers coach Snoop Dogg was voted 2008 NFFA coach of the year in balloting by the league owners.
Of the four coaches in the running for the award, Snoop garnered three votes, compared to two apiece for East Nashville coach Jim McMahon and Atlanta Smack Daddies coach Lex Dominica. West Nashville Beelzebubbas coach Boyd X. Biggs received no votes.
"It's humbling, and means more to me than any of those goddamn Grammys, for shizzle," Snoop said by cell phone from Miami. "Champagne and blunts on me."
Cambridge owner Dave the Animal did not participate in the voting, saying he thought it was a prank when he received the notice about the balloting. "I thought [NFFA commissioner William D.] Money was pranking me 'cause I knew I was already coach of the year," he explained. "I saw it on the NFFA website," referring to the league coaching efficiency rankings.
As both owner and coach of the Beelzebubbas, Biggs could have voted for himself, but instead he helped his rival win the award. "I voted for Snoop Dogg," he said by phone yesterday. Mojo D, owner of the Midtown Mojo franchise, also acknowledged voting for the coach of the 12th Avenue team. Assuming his owner, QCurl Sharif, voted for him, it would seem Snoop won with a bloc of votes from teams based on the West side of the Cumberland River.
An obviously angry East Nashville GM Buddy Ryan called the voting "a popularity contest" and said "anyone in their right mind" knows who the real coach of the year is. "It's a Dog, all right, but not one named Snoop. 15 and [expletive] 0; 21 straight, regular-season wins. What the [expletive]? No, seriously, what the [expletive]? Maybe if Jim's name was Jizzle McMizzle he could get the mother-[expletive] respect he deserves.
"And now we learn that this [expletive] is some mother-[expletive] East side-West side thing," Ryan continued. "Well this weekend at the Dog House, the best the mother-[expletive] West side has to offer is going to get their payback for disrespecting the East Nasty."
